The Daily Brief App is an app that brings you your day in a daily briefing. All personalized data displayed is proactively shared with the app and automatically authorized to be displayed.

This app displays information only — we do not collect, retain, collate, sort, manage, store, centralize, backup, protect, document, hoard, bottle up, stash, squirrel away, keep under wraps, tell our Aunt Tessas what do with it or freeze it, see it, hear it, speak of it to others. We don’t tuck it away, sell it to other people, spam it, scrape it, steal, it, and we certainly don’t ask it to help us launch a text-scamming scheme, because we aren’t interested in running a text-scamming scheme.

We do allow a third-party to anonymously track standard web analytics, so there’s that.

Personal Information

The Daily Brief App allows for the personalization of its display, if provided with personalized data. This information is provided in the settings page, and includes things like your location,your sign, what you like to do on a good weekend, and whether or not you believe Darth Vader really did say “Luke, I am your father.” Well, it contains some of those things.

In order to display your agenda, you will have to ‘Allow Full Access’ to your calendars. This is done by clicking the ‘Allow Full Access’ prompt when the app first launches. You can also access this setting and update it in the device’s settings app under the ‘Apps’ bucket.

Personal information is stored locally and not uploaded to any servers. You will have to add personal information individually on every device. That’s because personal information is stored locally and not uploaded to any servers, like we literally just said. Were you listening?

AI

Artificial Intelligence is used for portions of your daily brief, providing summaries of news, sports, and astrological data. The only personal data used in the AI-portion of this app is your longitude and latitude, if provided. Your calendar information is only pulled locally on the device and not uploaded to any server and not provided to any third-party service, including AI.

Data + Security Disclaimer

Reasonable measures are taken to make sure data is handled securely, when we’re provided it. We’ve got automatic times for our lights, locks for our doors, and that’s about as well as anybody can do these days. (Actually, there’s more, and we do that too… we live in the world of HTTPS just like you.) You are responsible for device security.

Marketing

If you have provided your email address or subscribed to the Daily Brief App, you may be opted into receiving email or other marketing communications. You can always opt out of these if you hate our emails, but we really hope you don’t, it would hurt our feelings. Actually, we really don’t care, we don’t have those types of feelings for you. I know, awkward, but it’s true. Opt out as much as you’d like.

You may be targeted with advertisements if you use this app or visit one of our websites. We can’t opt you out of those — we are just an advertiser. Those publishers already had you opt-in and opt-outs are handled through them, presumably by declaring your allegiance to the Thuggee and getting your heart ripped out in an elaborate midnight ceremony. Or through a simpler process, but again, we don’t know. Those agreements were done with the individual ad publishers so check with them.
