Privacy Policy

• We collect what's needed to build your briefing: your account details and your preferences.
• We don't sell your data, ever.We don't run ads and we don't share your information with advertisers or data brokers.
• We don't track you across other apps or websites, and we don't use third-party advertising or analytics SDKs.
• You can delete your account and everything in it at any time.

Superbrief is operated by Dave Acton, based in Queensland, Australia. For anything in this policy, email privacy@superbrief.audio.

Account information. Your name, email address, and a securely hashed version of your password. We never store your password itself. If you signed up with an invite code, we record which one, so we know who referred you.

Your briefing preferences. The topics you choose, any people you want followed, the places you name for local news and weather, your timezone, delivery times, preferred briefing length, and your chosen voice. This is the substance of the product — without it there is nothing to brief you on.

Your briefings. The stories selected for you, the script written for you, and the audio generated from it. These are stored so you can play them again.

Feedback. When you mark a topic as more, less, or ignore, we record it and use it to weight future briefings.

Listening events. When a briefing is opened, when playback starts, roughly how far through you got, and whether you finished. We use this to understand whether briefings are actually worth listening to. It is tied to your account but is not shared with anyone.

Subscription status.If you subscribe, RevenueCat and the app store tell us which plan you're on and when it renews or ends. We never see your card details.

• Your contacts, photos, microphone, or precise device location.
• Your calendar or email content. (If calendar briefings are added later, we'll ask first and update this policy.)
• Advertising identifiers, or any cross-app or cross-site tracking.
• Payment card numbers — those go straight to Apple or Google.

To build your briefing, we search public sources using the topics and places you chose — for example, querying Google News or Reddit for “design” or the weather for your town. Those queries contain your topics, not your identity: we don't send your name, email, or account id to those services.

We then fetch the articles that were selected so the briefing can be written from what the article actually says rather than just its headline.

We use a small number of providers to run Superbrief. They only receive what they need, and only to provide their service to us.

Your briefing script is sent to Anthropic to be written, and to ElevenLabs to be turned into speech. Both are bound by their own terms not to use it to train their models on your behalf.

Your account, preferences and briefings are stored in a database hosted in Sydney, Australia. Some of the providers listed above process data in the United States. By using Superbrief you consent to that transfer, which is necessary to provide the service.

Your account and preferences are kept while your account is open. Briefings and their audio are kept so you can replay them. If you delete your account, all of it — account, preferences, briefings, audio and listening events — is deleted.

Passwords are hashed with bcrypt and never stored in readable form. Sessions use signed tokens that expire after 30 days. Audio files are stored privately and served only to you. Database access is restricted. No system is perfectly secure, but we don't collect anything we don't need, which is the most reliable protection there is.

Under the Australian Privacy Principles — and, if they apply to you, the GDPR or California's privacy laws — you can ask us to:

• Give you a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct anything that's wrong.
• Delete your account and all associated data.
• Stop sending you briefings, without deleting your account.

Email privacy@superbrief.audioand we'll action it within 30 days. If you're in Australia and unhappy with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

Superbrief isn't intended for anyone under 16, and we don't knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has created an account, email us and we'll remove it.

If we change this policy in a way that materially affects you, we'll email you before it takes effect. The date at the top always reflects the current version.
