Privacy Policy

Last updated:

brief.pk ("we," "our," or "us") operates the brief.pk website and intelligence dashboard service. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you sign in or create an account, we collect your email address and authentication metadata needed to secure your account (for example, token timestamps and login provider).

Usage and Technical Data

We collect service telemetry such as request logs, coarse performance metrics, and error events to keep the platform reliable and secure. We use this data for operations, abuse prevention, and debugging.

Cookies and Sessions

We use essential cookies and secure session tokens to keep you signed in and protect your account. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

Payment Data

If you purchase paid access, checkout and card processing are handled by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers or card security codes on our servers.

4. Data Security

We implement technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect your information. Login tokens are cryptographically generated and expire. No internet transmission or storage system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
