Clear Run
Privacy
Clear Run is a private tool for reading your own Google calendars in one place. This page says plainly what it stores and what it does not.
What is stored
- Your email address, so you can sign in.
- The email address of each Google account you connect, so you can tell them apart in the list.
- A key from Google that lets Clear Run read and add events on your behalf. It is held where the app itself cannot read it, and only the server ever uses it.
- Which calendars you chose to show, the name you gave each one and the colour you picked.
What is not stored
Your events. Clear Run asks Google for them each time you open a screen and shows them to you. It does not keep its own copy of your appointments, who you are meeting or where.
There is no tracking, no analytics, no advertising, and nothing is sold or shared with anybody.
What Clear Run asks Google for, and why
- To see your calendars and events. Without this it cannot show you your day.
- To add and change events. This is what the plus button uses. It only ever touches calendars you have chosen.
- To see your email address. So that connecting two accounts shows two distinguishable entries rather than two identical ones.
Clear Run does not read your mail, your files, your contacts or anything else in your Google account.
Who can see it
Only you. Calendars are private to the account that connected them, and that is enforced by the database itself rather than by the app remembering to check.
Stopping
Disconnecting a Google account in Clear Run deletes its key and its calendars immediately. You can also revoke access from your Google account permissions at any time, without asking anyone.
Being honest about what this is
Clear Run is a private tool built for a handful of people, not a company with a security team. It is not encrypted end to end, and anyone with administrative access to the hosting could in principle reach the database. If that is not a trade you want to make, do not connect your calendar.
