# ClearCSV (getclearcsv)

ClearCSV at [getclearcsv.com](https://getclearcsv.com/) is a tool to clear CSV files and an online CSV cleaner. It trims cell-edge whitespace, removes exact duplicate rows after trimming, validates CSV structure, and prefixes formula-like cells with an apostrophe. It does not merge similar records, verify emails, or convert dates and currencies.

## Processing and retention
Previews are sent over HTTPS and processed on the server without persistence. Cleaned order files are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM. Access expires 24 hours after order creation; the cleanup worker removes expired file contents from the active database. Payment metadata remains for accounting; backups may retain encrypted contents longer. Cleanup is deterministic and uses no AI model. No certification or absolute security guarantee is claimed.

## Price and limits
A preview of up to 5 data rows is free. The full cleaned CSV costs $0.99 USD per file, with no subscription. Limits: 1,000 data rows plus a header, 64 columns, 1 MiB; comma-separated UTF-8 CSV.
