Privacy Policy

The short version
Sign in is optional
The full app works without an account. Signing in just syncs your bookmarks, follows, and blocks across your devices. It's for you, not for us.
Not for sale, not for training
We don't sell your reading activity and we don't use it to train AI models. Your feed habits stay between you and the app.
Ad-free and cookieless
No ads in the feed, no advertising trackers, and our analytics don't set cookies or persist data in your browser.
One-click account delete
Remove your account and everything tied to it from Settings. No emails, no forms, no waiting.

AIBriefs ("we", "us", "our") operates the AIBriefs web application. This page describes what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

What We Collect

  • Account information: If you sign in with Google, we store your name, email address, and profile picture URL.
  • Device identifier: A random, anonymous device ID stored in your browser to remember your preferences and interactions (bookmarks, blocks, follows).
  • Interaction data: Your bookmarks, blocks, follows, and other feed interactions to personalize your experience.
  • Feedback: Messages you submit through the in-app feedback form, along with any email address you optionally provide.

How We Use It

  • Personalizing your feed based on your interactions and preferences.
  • Syncing your preferences across devices when you sign in.
  • Improving the service based on aggregate usage patterns and feedback.

What We Don't Do

  • We do not sell your data to anyone.
  • We do not share your personal information with third-party advertisers.
  • We do not use ad networks or advertising trackers.
  • We do not profile you for purposes beyond improving your AIBriefs experience.

Cookies

We use a single httpOnly cookie for authentication (refresh token). We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies. Our product analytics are fully cookieless and do not store any data in your browser.

Data Retention

Your account data and interactions are retained for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, all associated data is permanently removed.

Your Rights

  • Delete your account: You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from the Settings panel.
  • Access your data: You can view your interactions and preferences in the Settings panel.

Third-Party Services

  • Authentication: We use a third-party sign-in provider for account creation. Your authentication request is processed by that provider; refer to their privacy policy for their data practices.
  • Product analytics: We use privacy-focused, cookieless analytics to understand how visitors use AIBriefs. No cookies are set and no data is persisted in your browser.
  • Error monitoring: We use an error tracking service that may receive technical error data (such as stack traces) to help us fix bugs. No personal information is included.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the service evolves. If the changes are material, we'll surface a notice in the app so you can review them before they take effect.
