Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you subscribe to The Intelligence Brief, we collect your email address and, optionally, your first name. If you upgrade to a Premium subscription, our payment processor (Stripe) collects your billing information. We do not store credit card numbers on our servers.

We also collect standard web analytics data including page views, referral sources, and device type to improve our content and user experience. This data is collected through privacy-respecting analytics tools.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your email address to deliver The Intelligence Brief newsletter (Monday through Friday) and, for Premium subscribers, weekly deep dives, tool reviews, and monthly profit playbooks. We may also send occasional service announcements related to your subscription. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Email Service Provider

We use Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) to manage our email list and deliver newsletters. Your email address is stored on Brevo's servers in accordance with their privacy policy. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every email.

4. Payment Processing

Premium subscriptions are processed through Stripe. Stripe handles all payment data in compliance with PCI DSS standards. We receive confirmation of successful payments but do not have access to your full credit card information. For details, see Stripe's Privacy Policy.

5. Cookies and Tracking

We use essential cookies to maintain your session and preferences. We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag for advertising measurement purposes. You can opt out of LinkedIn tracking through your LinkedIn account settings or by using browser-based opt-out tools.

6. Data Retention

We retain your email address for as long as you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe, your email address is removed from our active mailing list. Payment records are retained as required by applicable tax and accounting regulations.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time. To exercise these rights, email us at the address below. You can also unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email.
