Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 9, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how ClearCOGS, Inc. (“ClearCOGS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes personal information when you visit clearcogs.com (the “Site”), request a demo, use our savings calculator, communicate with us, or otherwise interact with us.

Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information ClearCOGS collects as a controller through our public website, marketing, sales, and business communications. Information we process on behalf of our customers through the ClearCOGS platform is governed by the applicable customer agreement and data processing terms, not by this policy.

Who We Are

ClearCOGS, Inc.
222 W Merchandise Mart Plaza, Chicago, IL 60654
Email: info@clearcogs.com

Information We Collect

Information you provide to us. When you fill out a form, book a demo, use the savings calculator, subscribe to communications, or contact us, we may collect your name, business email, phone number, company name, role, restaurant or business details, and any information you choose to share.

Information we collect automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect certain information through cookies and similar technologies, including your IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, referring URLs, and how you interact with the Site.

How We Use Information

  • To provide, operate, and improve the Site and our services.
  • To respond to your requests, schedule demos, and provide customer support.
  • To send you marketing and product communications, where permitted, which you can opt out of at any time.
  • To analyze usage, measure marketing performance, and understand visitor behavior.
  • To protect the security and integrity of the Site and to comply with legal obligations.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, analyze traffic, and support marketing. You can manage your cookie preferences through our consent banner, which is provided by CookieYes, and through your browser settings. Some cookies are necessary for the Site to function and cannot be turned off.

OpenAI measurement cookies include __oppref, which stores an advertising attribution reference for up to 30 days after it is written, and __obref, a browser reference stored for up to 365 days. Browser settings or clearing cookies may shorten those periods. These cookie periods are separate from conversion-data retention.

Third-Party Services We Use

We use third-party services that may collect or process information on our behalf. The information shared with a provider depends on how you interact with our Site and the choices you make in our cookie consent banner. These providers include:

  • Consent and site operations: CookieYes (stores your cookie choices and manages cookies).
  • Analytics and experience measurement: Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Clarity (measure site use, performance, and visitor interactions).
  • CRM and forms: HubSpot (hosts forms, stores lead records, schedules demos, and supports communications).
  • Advertising and remarketing: Google Ads and Meta (Facebook) (measure campaigns and support advertising or remarketing, subject to your consent).
  • OpenAI advertising measurement: We use the OpenAI Pixel to measure our ChatGPT advertising, including demo bookings and savings-calculator submissions. It sends conversion-event information and website-origin information and uses first-party cookies to connect eligible website activity with advertising. Automatic advanced matching is enabled: supported customer information detected on our website is normalized and hashed in your browser before the resulting hashes are sent with conversion events. You can manage analytics and advertising choices through our cookie settings. OpenAI processes information under its privacy policy.
  • Business identification: RB2B (helps identify a company associated with a visit; loaded only after you consent to advertising cookies).

Each provider processes information in accordance with its own privacy policy.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information with service providers who perform services on our behalf, with analytics and advertising partners as described above, in connection with a business transaction such as a merger or acquisition, and when required by law or to protect our rights. Certain sharing of information with advertising and analytics partners may be considered “sharing” or a “sale” under some state privacy laws; you can opt out as described in the “Your Privacy Choices” section below.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, and to opt out of certain processing such as targeted advertising. California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, and visitors in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom have rights under the GDPR. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@clearcogs.com. Please include “Privacy Request” in the subject line and describe your request. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests, and we will respond within the time required by applicable law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Your Privacy Choices

You can control the cookies and similar technologies used for analytics and advertising, including tools that help identify business visitors, through the cookie consent banner on our Site. You can change your choices at any time by reopening the cookie settings from that banner, or by clearing your browser cookies so the banner appears again. You may also email us at info@clearcogs.com to ask that we not share your personal information for targeted advertising. Cookies that are strictly necessary for the Site to function cannot be turned off.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

International Visitors

We are based in the United States, and your information may be processed in the United States and other countries that may have different data protection laws than your country of residence.
