Terms of Service

Last updated: April 29, 2026

Nature of Content

Apprised.news produces AI-generated intelligence briefs and market distillations. All analytical personas (Dr. Mara Voss, Rex Calloway, Elena Marsh, Sightline Markets Daily, Coiner's Credit Review, Alder Grove Memos, Kensington Macro Letter, Thicket Strategic Research, Brandenburg Valuation Notes, Probabilistic Reasoning Notes, etc.) are entirely fictional archetypes created for AI prose emulation. They are not real people, do not represent real firms, and do not represent the views of any individual or organization.

Fictional Characters and Fair Use

All persona names, firm names, and publication titles used on this site are fictional creations. They do not correspond to any real person, company, or publication. Any resemblance to actual persons, firms, or publications is coincidental.

The analytical frameworks referenced by these personas (structural geopolitics, demographic analysis, monetary systems analysis, credit analysis, cycle psychology, etc.) are publicly known intellectual frameworks discussed widely in financial and geopolitical commentary. References to real public figures and their published works (e.g., George Friedman's geopolitical framework, Peter Zeihan's demographic analysis, Mohamed El-Erian's macro risk approach, Lyn Alden's monetary systems work, Howard Marks's cycle memos, Jim Grant's credit analysis) constitute fair use for the purpose of identifying the publicly known analytical tradition each fictional persona draws from. These references describe publicly available ideas and do not imply endorsement, affiliation, or sponsorship by any referenced individual.

No trademarked publication names, proprietary research, or copyrighted text from any real-world publication is reproduced on this site. The fictional publication names (Sightline Markets Daily, Coiner's Credit Review, Alder Grove Memos, Kensington Macro Letter, Thicket Strategic Research, Brandenburg Valuation Notes, Probabilistic Reasoning Notes) are original creations.

Not Investment Advice

Nothing published on Apprised.news constitutes investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or any other sort of professional advice. The Markets Desk content is analytical commentary produced by AI systems, not recommendations to buy, sell, or hold any financial instrument. Consult a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions.

Not Intelligence Product

Despite the intelligence-product format, Apprised.news content is not produced by intelligence professionals and should not be treated as authoritative intelligence analysis. It is AI-generated synthesis of publicly available news sources.

Accuracy and Reliability

We strive for accuracy but cannot guarantee it. AI-generated content may contain errors, misinterpretations, or outdated information. All claims in briefs are grounded in source material from our news corpus, but the analytical interpretations are synthetic. Verify critical information through primary sources.

Source Attribution

News corpus is aggregated from publicly available RSS and Atom feeds by Corvus Intel (corvusintel.app). All source URLs cited in briefs link to the original publisher. We do not republish full article text.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use automated tools to scrape content at a rate that degrades service for others
• Redistribute briefs as if they were your own analytical product
• Present AI-generated personas as real analysts
• Use the service for any unlawful purpose

Analytics and Data

By using this site you acknowledge that we run one first-party, cookieless measurement beacon, described in our Privacy Policy, and that pages offering a subscription load Google’s Subscribe with Google script. Your use of the site is also subject to our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

Availability

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Brief generation depends on third-party APIs (Corvus Intel, Anthropic) and may be delayed or unavailable.

No Warranty

This site and everything on it are provided as is and without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or non-infringement.

This matters more here than on an ordinary site, and the sections above say why: the analysis published here is machine-generated, the analyst personas are fictional, and nothing here is investment advice or an intelligence product. We do not warrant that any summary, index, score or forecast is accurate, complete or current.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of your use of this site is limited to the greater of $100 or the amount you have paid us in the twelve months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, including lost profits or trading losses.

If you act on anything published here, you do so on your own judgement. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not permit to be disclaimed.

What You Send Us

There are no public comments here, so the only user content you send us is what goes into a form: an email address for the digest, a search or filter query, or a message.

It stays yours. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to use it only to run the thing you asked for and to reply to you. We will not publish, sell or share it.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the operator of this site from claims, damages and costs arising from your misuse of the site, your breach of these terms, or your republication of material from it beyond what the Source Attribution section above permits.

Termination and Suspension

You may stop using the site at any time, and you can unsubscribe from the digest from any email it sends.

We may suspend or block access for conduct described under Acceptable Use, including automated collection that degrades the service for other readers. Termination does not affect the sections that by their nature survive it, including No Warranty, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification and Governing Law.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and the venue is Hillsborough County, Florida.

Dispute Resolution

Raise it with us first. If something published here is wrong, tell us at legal@apprised.news. A correction is faster than a dispute, and the Accuracy and Reliability section above sets out how we handle one.

If that fails, Florida law and the venue above apply. You are not being pushed into private arbitration and you are not waiving your right to bring a claim, including in small claims court. Nothing here prevents either of us from seeking injunctive relief for misuse of the site or infringement of intellectual property.

Changes

We may update these terms. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
