Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 28, 2026

What We Collect

Apprised.news collects minimal data required to operate the service:

• Server logs: IP address, request URL, user agent, and timestamp are logged by our hosting provider (Netlify) for security and abuse prevention. These are retained for 30 days.
• Local storage: Your reading preferences and view state are stored in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device.
• Account data (future): When authentication is activated, we will collect the email address and name you provide during signup. OAuth providers (Google, GitHub) share your name and email per their own privacy policies.

What We Do Not Collect

• No third-party analytics scripts (no Google Analytics, no tracking pixels)
• No advertising trackers or remarketing tags
• No fingerprinting or cross-site tracking
• No sale of data to third parties, ever

Cookies

We do not set any cookies. Authentication, when activated, will use session tokens stored in local storage or HTTP-only cookies for security.

Third-Party Services

• Netlify: Hosting and serverless functions. Subject to Netlify's privacy policy.
• Corvus Intel: Our news corpus source. No user data is shared with Corvus Intel. The integration is server-to-server.
• Anthropic: AI brief generation. News corpus (not user data) is sent to the Anthropic API for processing. Subject to Anthropic's privacy policy.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data we hold about you. Since we collect minimal data, the practical effect is:

• Clear your browser's local storage to remove all client-side data
• Contact us to request deletion of any server-side data associated with your IP or account
