Privacy Policy – Briefed.now


Effective Date: October 27, 2025


1. Introduction

Welcome to Briefed.now (“we,” “us,” or “our”).
We provide an AI-powered assistant that connects to your calendar, analyzes upcoming meetings, and generates contextual briefings to help you prepare.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our website, Chrome extension, or integrations (collectively, the “Services”).

By using Briefed.now, you agree to this Privacy Policy.


2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of data to provide and improve our Services:

a. Account Information

  • Name and email address (usually from Google or Microsoft sign-in)

  • Company name (if provided)

  • Profile photo (optional)

b. Calendar Data

With your explicit consent, we access:

  • Calendar events and metadata (title, date, participants, and meeting links)

  • Attendee names and emails
    We do not access or store the body/content of calendar event descriptions unless needed for generating summaries you request.

c. Enrichment Data

To generate context, we may enrich public data related to meeting participants or companies using third-party APIs (e.g., company website, LinkedIn, funding data, tech stack).

d. Usage Data

  • Interactions with our app or Chrome extension

  • Log data (browser type, device, timestamps)

  • Error reports and analytics

e. Cookies and Local Storage

We use minimal cookies and local storage for session management and analytics (via Google Analytics or equivalent privacy-friendly tools).


3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

  • Generate meeting briefings and insights

  • Personalize recommendations

  • Maintain and improve the Services

  • Communicate product updates

  • Ensure security and prevent abuse

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.


4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We share information only with:

  • Service providers that process data on our behalf (e.g., hosting, analytics)

  • API partners you explicitly authorize (e.g., Google Calendar, Apollo.io, People Data Labs)

  • Legal authorities, if required by law or to protect our rights

All third parties are bound by contractual obligations to safeguard your data.


5. Data Retention

We store user data only as long as necessary to provide the Services.
If you delete your account or revoke permissions, we delete or anonymize all associated personal data within 30 days.


6. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures:

  • Encrypted data storage (AES-256)

  • Encrypted data transmission (TLS 1.2+)

  • Access control and audit logs

However, no online system is 100% secure, and you use the Service at your own risk.

Depending on your location (e.g., EU/EEA, UK, California), you have the right to:

  • Access a copy of your personal data

  • Correct or delete your data

  • Withdraw consent at any time
