Privacy Policy

When you sign up for Briefly we collect your email address and the preferences you set during onboarding — your chosen topics, tone, delivery time, and delivery channels.

As you use the app we record which articles you open and any feedback ratings (thumbs up / thumbs down) you submit. This is used solely to improve the relevance of your future digests.

If you enable SMS delivery we store your phone number. If you enable push notifications we store a browser push subscription identifier.

Your data is used exclusively to operate the Briefly service: curating articles matched to your interests and delivering your morning digest through your chosen channels.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

We use the following services to operate Briefly:

• Clerk — authentication (sign in / sign up)
• Resend — email digest delivery
• Twilio — SMS digest delivery
• OneSignal — web push notifications
• Stripe — payment processing (we never handle card data directly)
• Supabase — database hosting (EU region)
• Anthropic — AI summarisation (article text is not stored)

Each provider operates under its own privacy policy and applicable data processing agreements.

Briefly uses essential cookies to keep you signed in and maintain your session. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

If you are in the European Economic Area you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time.

You can export all your data or permanently delete your account from the Settings → Data & Privacy section of the app.

Your data is retained for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, all personal data is permanently removed within 30 days.

We never store the full text of articles — only AI-generated summaries and source URLs.
