Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 29, 2026

This Privacy Policy applies to Today's Brief's Android app and website, including its personalized news, market information, task, audio, and account-sync services. Contact: ppltech26@gmail.com.

Data We Collect

Depending on how you use the app, we may collect account information such as email or phone number, country and language preferences, saved items, watchlist symbols, reading and listening interactions, account status, subscription entitlement status, diagnostics and crash logs, device and app information, optional city or approximate location for local features, and user-submitted content reports or feedback.

How We Use Data

We use data to provide and personalize daily briefs, localized news, market and watchlist context, saved content, audio playback, account sync, subscription or trial access, support, abuse prevention, diagnostics, and app reliability.

Usage Analytics And Your Choices

When usage analytics is allowed, Today's Brief uses Google Analytics 4 and Google Analytics for Firebase to measure events such as page or screen views, feature interactions, subscription-funnel steps, performance, and reliability. Analytics can include a pseudonymous browser or app-instance identifier, event time, app and device characteristics, language or country edition, and a pseudonymous account identifier when you are signed in. We do not send your email, phone number, name, saved article text, task text, search text, credentials, or precise location as analytics event parameters.

In the EEA, United Kingdom, and Canada, usage analytics stays off until you opt in. The website also honors Global Privacy Control while no choice has been saved. In every region, you can change the usage analytics setting at any time. Turning it off stops collection and clears the local analytics identifier and applicable Google Analytics cookies or Firebase analytics data. Advertising storage, advertising user data, ad personalization, Google Signals, and Android Advertising ID collection remain disabled.

Sharing

We may share data with service providers and APIs that operate the app, including backend hosting, news, market and content APIs, analytics and crash reporting providers, Google Play Billing, Firebase or Google services, and support tooling. We do not sell personal information.

Google Maps Platform And Saved Places

Commute setup may use Google Maps Platform and Places to show transient address suggestions and route estimates. Today's Brief stores saved commute locations as Google place IDs plus user-entered or app-defined labels such as Home or Work. We do not intentionally store Google prediction text, formatted addresses, place names, address components, ratings, reviews, photos, or attribution HTML in app-controlled persistence. You can edit or remove saved commute locations in the app. If account sync is enabled, saved place IDs and labels may sync with your account preferences.

AI And Content Processing

The app uses AI-assisted summaries and audio based on available article, source, market, and app context. AI output may be incomplete or incorrect. Users should open original sources for full context and may report content issues inside the app.

Market Data

Market information is provided for general informational and educational purposes only and is not financial advice. Market data may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate.

Retention And Deletion

We retain data as needed to provide the app, comply with law, prevent abuse, resolve disputes, and maintain records. You can request account deletion in the app or at Account Deletion. Google Play billing records, fraud or security logs, legal compliance records, and support records may be retained when required or permitted. First-party analytics delivery records are normally deleted after 90 days; account-linked records are included in account deletion. Google Analytics retains pseudonymous analytics according to our configured property settings and Google's applicable terms.

Children

Today's Brief is not directed to children.

International Availability

The app is intended for availability in the United States, Canada, Australia, India, United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Japan. Data may be processed in countries where we or our service providers operate.

Security

We use HTTPS and reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect data. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure.

Changes

We may update this policy. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page.
