Anti Spam Policy

ClearCheck.app is 100% opposed to unsolicited commercial email (“spam”). We do not send emails to anyone without permission and we do not sell or provide email addresses to any unauthorized third party. If you receive any unsolicited emails from spammers, please be assured that ClearCheck.app did not provide your email address to such parties.
This does not mean that we can prevent spam from happening on the Internet. Unfortunately, spammers obtain email addresses in a number of devious ways, including when you respond and ask to be taken off a spam email list, and in some cases by just generating emails to millions of random email addresses in the hopes of getting a few “live” ones. Please be assured that at ClearCheck.app we hate spam as much as you do.
All that said, if you believe that you have gotten an unsolicited email from us, contact us and we will investigate. Please be assured that we strive not to contact anyone without permission, and if you prefer not to receive any further communications from us, just tell us and we’ll try to make sure you never hear from us again.
