This Privacy Policy explains how [Your Company Legal Name] ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information in connection with BriefBlaster (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.
Scope
This policy applies to information we process when you visit briefblaster.com, create an account, or use the Service. It does not cover the practices of third parties we do not control, including the AI providers, payment processors, and other services you may connect to or use alongside the Service. It also does not govern the independent publications ("Outlets") you operate, for which you are the responsible party.
Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Account information — such as your name, email address, organization, and login credentials when you register.
- Billing information — subscription and transaction details. Payment card details are handled by our payment processor; we do not store full card numbers.
- Content and configuration — the sources, prompts, settings, drafts, and published material you provide to or generate through the Service.
- Provider credentials — where applicable, the API keys you connect for third-party AI providers, stored to operate the Service on your behalf.
- Usage and device data — log data such as IP address, browser type, pages accessed, and timestamps, collected automatically when you use the Service.
- Communications — information you provide when you contact us for support or other inquiries.
How We Use Information
We use information to provide, maintain, and improve the Service; to authenticate users and secure accounts; to process subscriptions and payments; to operate AI-assisted features you request; to provide support and respond to inquiries; to monitor and prevent fraud, abuse, and violations of our Acceptable Use Policy; and to comply with legal obligations.
AI Providers & Content Processing
The Service uses third-party AI providers to generate and process content at your direction. When you use AI-assisted features, relevant content (such as prompts, source material, and configuration) is transmitted to the applicable provider to produce output. Where you connect your own provider API keys, that processing occurs under your account with the provider and is subject to the provider's own terms and privacy practices. We do not control how third-party providers use data submitted through their services, and you are responsible for reviewing their policies.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary to operate the Service, such as maintaining your login session and protecting against cross-site request forgery. We may also use limited analytics to understand how the Service is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling essential cookies may prevent the Service from functioning correctly.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as described here:
- Service providers — vendors that perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, payment processing, email delivery, and AI processing, under obligations to protect the information.
- Legal and safety — when required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of BriefBlaster, our users, or others.
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to this policy.
- With your direction — to third parties you connect or instruct us to share with, such as your own AI providers.
Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, including encryption of sensitive stored credentials. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and connected keys.
Data Retention
We retain information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You may request deletion of your account, after which we will delete or de-identify your information except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes.
Your Rights & Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. You can update much of your account information directly in the Service, or contact us at hello@briefblaster.com to exercise these rights. We will respond consistent with applicable law. You may also opt out of non-essential communications at any time.
International Data Transfers
We may process and store information in countries other than the one in which you reside. Where information is transferred across borders, we take steps intended to ensure it receives an adequate level of protection consistent with applicable law.
Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
