Privacy

Short version: we collect the minimum, we don't sell it, and you can leave anytime.

Waitlist

If you join the waitlist we store the email address you give us, for one purpose: to email you once when the beta opens, plus occasional product updates. We don't sell or share it. Unsubscribe from any email and we delete you from the list.

Analytics

We run our own privacy-friendly analytics: anonymous pageviews and a random first-party session id, stored in our own database. No Google Analytics, no ad pixels, no cross-site tracking, and we never store your IP address.

FocalBot

Our crawler fetches public RSS feeds and article pages to build news briefs. It doesn't collect personal data about feed publishers or their readers. See the FocalBot page for what it fetches and how to opt out.

The app

The iOS app's data handling is disclosed in the App Store privacy label and in-app. This page covers only this website.
