Clarity privacy policy
Last updated: 1 October 2026
Clarity is made by Moon Shard. This policy covers the Clarity app for iPhone and iPad.
The short version
Everything you save in Clarity stays on your device, and in your own private iCloud if you are signed in to it. Online AI features are off until you agree to them. AI summaries, connection checks, and connecting Claude or ChatGPT are described below. When AI summaries are on, each link you save is sent to our server to be summarised, and the summary is kept there. If you connect Claude or ChatGPT, they read your saved summaries from that same server, on your behalf, when you ask them to. We don't show ads, we don't track you across apps, and we don't sell data.
What stays on your device
Notes, documents, files, images, voice notes and saved links are stored inside Clarity on your iPhone or iPad. Clarity also stores the text read from documents and images, voice transcripts, titles, areas and connections on your device. If you turn on AI features with Clarity Plus, eligible text may be sent for the connection checks described below. Search runs on your device, and voice notes are transcribed on your device only.
Clarity only puts text on your clipboard when you tap Copy. It reads the clipboard only when you choose to paste.
What leaves your device
AI summaries (only if you turn them on). Clarity asks before the first one, and you can switch them off in Settings at any time. When they are on, each link you save is sent to Clarity's server, with any text Clarity has already read from the page, and the server reads the page and uses Cloudflare Workers AI to write a summary. We keep the summary and the link on our server (a database hosted by Cloudflare), and we keep the text of the page there too (Cloudflare storage), so the same link isn't summarised twice. They are linked to a random ID created by the app, not to your name or email. To have this deleted, email clarity@moonshard.co and we'll delete it within 30 days.
Connection checks (Clarity Plus, only with AI on). Clarity sends a save's title, kind and up to 4,000 characters of text to Clarity's server for Jev, from TypeSafe, to check connections between saves. This can include text from notes, voice transcripts, images and documents. Saves marked sensitive, saves with form fields, and saves that look like they contain card, bank, phone or VAT numbers are excluded on the device. Files themselves are never sent for these checks. Clarity's server keeps a yes/no verdict and a score, keyed by a fingerprint of the text and scoped to the app's random user ID, for 90 days; it does not retain the title or text for connection checks. You can turn these checks off with AI in Settings.
Connecting Claude or ChatGPT (Clarity Plus). If you connect Claude or ChatGPT from Settings, that assistant can read your saved summaries from Clarity's server when you ask it something, using a private key or a one-time code tied to the same random app ID, not to your name or email. Disconnecting, from the same screen, stops this straight away.
iCloud sync. If you are signed in to iCloud, Clarity syncs your library between your devices through your own private iCloud container, using Apple's CloudKit. It is stored in your iCloud account, and Moon Shard has no access to it. To turn it off, sign out of iCloud or turn off iCloud for Clarity in the iOS Settings app.
Purchases. Payments are handled by Apple. We use RevenueCat to confirm what you've bought and to restore it. RevenueCat receives your purchase history and a random ID created by the app, which isn't linked to your name or email. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.
Support email. If you email us, we receive what you send and use it only to reply.
Link previews. When you save a link, Clarity reads that page, and for some sites their public preview service (TikTok, YouTube, Vimeo, X, Reddit and Instagram), to fill in the title, picture and text. Only the link itself is sent, straight from your device to that site, and nothing is kept by Moon Shard. Nothing else leaves your device. If a future version adds other online features, this page will say exactly what is sent and where, and the app will ask you first.
What we don't do
No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking, no data brokers, no selling or renting data.
Keeping and deleting your data
Your saves stay on your device until you delete them. Deleting a card removes it, and deleting the app removes everything stored in it. If iCloud sync is on, a copy stays in your private iCloud until you delete it there, in the iOS Settings app under iCloud storage. You can export everything at any time from Settings. To delete purchase records held by RevenueCat, or AI summaries kept on our server, email clarity@moonshard.co and we'll delete them within 30 days.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you can ask to access, correct, delete or export personal data we hold, and object to its use. Email clarity@moonshard.co. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
Children
Clarity doesn't knowingly collect data from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top. If a change affects what leaves your device, we'll tell you in the app first.
