Privacy Policy

Your privacy is foundational to our platform, not an afterthought.

Last updated: January 2026

Our Commitment

Clarus Vitae is built on a fundamental principle: your privacy matters. We understand that you may be researching sensitive health topics—addiction recovery, weight management, mental health, aging concerns, or performance optimization you prefer to keep private. That's why privacy isn't just a feature; it's the foundation of our platform.

We've designed our platform so you can research with complete confidence. You don't need to create an account. You don't need to accept cookies. You can browse our entire site in Research Mode—completely private, with no tracking whatsoever.

What We Collect

When Browsing (Research Mode - Default)

Nothing. No cookies, no tracking, no data collection. You can browse our entire site—view properties, compare treatments, read reviews—without us collecting any information about you.

When You Submit an Inquiry

Only when you actively choose to contact a property do we collect:

  • Name and email (required)
  • Phone number (optional)
  • Your message to the property
  • Which property you're interested in

All personal information is encrypted with AES-256 encryption before storage.

When You Create an Account (Optional)

If you choose to create an account (not required), we store:

  • Email address
  • Saved properties and comparisons
  • Your preference settings

What We DON'T Do

Sell your data to anyone, ever
Share with data brokers
Share with insurance companies
Use retargeting ads
Track you across other websites
Use Facebook Pixel or Google Analytics
Fingerprint your browser
Store unencrypted personal data

How We Protect Your Data

AES-256 Encryption

All personal information is encrypted with military-grade AES-256-GCM encryption before storage. Even in the unlikely event of a data breach, your information would be unreadable.

Secure Infrastructure

Our servers are hosted in secure facilities with SOC 2 compliance. All data transmission uses TLS 1.3 encryption.

Minimal Data Retention

We only keep data as long as necessary. Inquiry data is automatically deleted after 90 days unless you have an active conversation with a property.

Regular Security Audits

We conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing to ensure your data remains protected.

Your Rights

You have complete control over your data. These rights apply globally, regardless of where you live—we don't limit them to EU residents.

Right to Access

See all data we have about you at any time.

Right to Export

Download all your data in a portable format (JSON/CSV).

Right to Delete

One-click complete deletion of all your data.

Right to Be Forgotten

Removed from backups within 30 days of deletion request.

Inquiries & Properties

When you inquire about a property, here's exactly what happens:

1

You Submit Your Inquiry

Your information is immediately encrypted and stored securely.

2

We Share With the Property

Only your name, contact information, and message are shared with the specific property you selected.

3

What We DON'T Share

Your browsing history, other properties viewed, comparison lists, or any other activity on our platform.

Secure Inquiry Option

For maximum privacy, we offer a secure inquiry channel with additional protections:

  • Option to use Signal for communication
  • No logging of request contents on our servers
  • Automatic deletion after property contact
  • Option for secure callback instead of email

Analytics

If you choose to enable analytics (off by default), we use self-hosted Plausible Analytics, which:

  • Does not use cookies
  • Does not collect personal data
  • Does not track across sites
  • Only provides aggregate, anonymous metrics
  • Is hosted on our own servers, not shared with third parties
