Acceptable Use Policy

CleverControl is intended only for lawful employee monitoring by organizations. You may use CleverControl only for legitimate business purposes, such as productivity management, information security, compliance, resource management, internal investigations, attendance review, or protection of company-owned assets.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of CleverControl complies with all applicable privacy, labor, employment, biometric data, wiretapping, audio/video recording, call recording, and data protection laws.

You may install or use CleverControl only on devices that your organization owns or is otherwise legally authorized to manage.

You must not install or use CleverControl on personal devices, third-party devices, or any device where you do not have proper authorization from the device owner and legal authority to monitor activity.

Before using CleverControl, you must inform monitored employees and other monitored users in advance about the monitoring.

Where required by applicable law, employment rules, company policy, collective agreements, or other legal obligations, you must obtain valid consent before monitoring begins.

Your notice should clearly explain what types of monitoring may occur, what business purpose the monitoring serves, what data may be collected, who may access the data, how long it may be retained, and how monitored users can exercise their rights.

CleverControl must not be used for covert, hidden, secret, or unauthorized surveillance.

You must not use CleverControl to monitor any person without proper authorization, prior notice, and consent where required by law. You must not attempt to disguise unlawful monitoring as workplace monitoring.

You must not use CleverControl to monitor personal devices without proper authorization and a lawful basis.

If your organization allows bring-your-own-device arrangements, you are responsible for ensuring that any monitoring is lawful, proportionate, properly disclosed, and limited to permitted work-related activity.

CleverControl must not be used for domestic surveillance, intimate-partner surveillance, stalking, harassment, personal spying, or monitoring family members, partners, former partners, roommates, private individuals, or any person outside a lawful workplace monitoring context.

Any such use is strictly prohibited.

You must not use CleverControl to collect passwords and authentication credentials. You must not use CleverControl to capture private messages, personal communications, financial information, medical information, or other sensitive personal data where such collection is unlawful, unnecessary, disproportionate, or prohibited by applicable law or company policy.

Monitoring settings must be configured proportionately and only for legitimate business purposes. You are responsible for avoiding unnecessary collection of private or sensitive information.

Audio recording, video recording, webcam recording, webcam snapshots, screen recording, and call recording may be restricted or prohibited in some jurisdictions.

You must not enable or use these features unless you have a lawful basis, prior notice, consent where required, a documented business purpose, limited retention, and appropriate access controls.

Ambient or continuous recording of private conversations is prohibited where not expressly lawful. Call recording must comply with all applicable consent, wiretapping, workplace, telecommunications, and privacy laws.

Face recognition and similar features may involve biometric data and may be restricted or prohibited in some jurisdictions.

You must not enable or use biometric or face recognition features unless such use is legally permitted and supported by prior notice, consent where required, a documented security or attendance-related purpose, limited retention, and appropriate access controls.

You are responsible for complying with all applicable biometric-data, privacy, labor, and data-protection laws.

We may suspend or terminate accounts, restrict access to CleverControl software or services, refuse support, refuse refunds, or take other appropriate action if we suspect or determine that CleverControl is being used for covert, unauthorized, unlawful, abusive, or non-compliant monitoring.

No refund is issued for misuse, unauthorized installation, use on devices without proper authorization, or use contrary to this Acceptable Use Policy, our Terms and Conditions, our Refund Policy, or applicable law.

We may also cooperate with legal authorities, payment processors, hosting providers, or other relevant parties where required or permitted by law.
