Privacy Policy
This policy explains what CleverCru collects and how we use it, in plain language.
Last updated September 28, 2026. We may update this page from time to time. This is a standard template grounded in how CleverCru works today, not legal advice — if you have questions, contact us.
What we collect
We collect the information you give us when you sign up and use CleverCru: account information like your name and email; profile information professionals choose to publish (trade, rates, service area, portfolio photos); project briefs and any photos you upload; bids and quotes; and messages between users. We also collect basic technical data like cookies, device, and browser information.
How we use it
We use your information to generate AI plans, match homeowners with professionals, operate messaging and bidding, communicate with you, and improve the service. We do not sell your personal data.
What's public vs. private
Public (visible to anyone browsing CleverCru): contractor and laborer directory profiles and the supplier directory.
Private (visible only to the involved parties and CleverCru admins): your projects, bids, project documents, messages, phone numbers, and the names of people you invite to your crew.
Photos
Project photos you upload to a brief stay private to you and the professionals you choose to contact. Portfolio and profile photos that professionals choose to publish are shown publicly on their public profile.
Cookies and local storage
We use cookies and browser local storage to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and operate the service. You can control cookies in your browser settings; some features may not work if you disable them.
Data retention and deletion
We keep your data for as long as your account is active and as needed to operate the service. You can request an export or deletion of your data at any time through the Contact page (choose "Account or data request"). We'll respond within a reasonable timeframe and may need to verify your identity first.
Children's privacy
CleverCru is intended for adults arranging home-improvement projects. The service is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "last updated" date above. Continuing to use CleverCru after a change means you accept the updated policy.
