1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to provide our service:

• Account Information: When you sign up, we collect your email address and authentication credentials.
• Usage Data: We collect information on the topics you select (e.g., Defense AI, Crypto) and the reports you generate to personalize your feed.
• Technical Data: We may collect standard log data such as IP address, browser type, and device information to ensure the security and performance of our app.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data for the following purposes:

• To create and manage your account.
• To generate personalized daily briefings and deep-dive reports.
• To maintain and improve the performance of our application.
• To communicate with you regarding service updates or security alerts.

3. Third-Party Service Providers (Our Tech Stack)

To provide our advanced AI-curated briefings, we utilize a specific set of third-party services. It is important to understand how data flows between these services:

A. Data Storage & Authentication

Supabase: We use Supabase as our backend-as-a-service provider.

• What they handle: Your user account data (email, password hashes) and your personalized preferences are stored securely in Supabase's database. Supabase complies with industry-standard security protocols.

B. Search & Intelligence (Data Processing)

We use search engines to find relevant news articles based on your selected topics.

• Exa & Tavily: These services are used strictly for web search and data retrieval.
• Data Flow: We send anonymized search queries (e.g., "latest semiconductor news") to these services. We do not send them your personal information (such as your email or name). They process the search keywords to return relevant articles.

C. AI Synthesis (Data Processing)

We use Large Language Models (LLMs) to summarize news and generate reports.

• Anthropic (Claude) & OpenAI: We use these providers to synthesize text and generate your briefings.
• Data Flow: We send the content of news articles and topic keywords to these APIs for processing.
• Privacy Protection: We do not share your personal account details (email, name) with Anthropic or OpenAI. The data sent to them is strictly limited to the public news content required to generate the summary. Furthermore, we utilize their API enterprise/developer protocols which generally ensure that data sent via API is not used to train their models.

4. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
