Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 12, 2026.

Scope

This notice describes the BriefSpire reading experience hosted on Blogger. Google operates the hosting platform. Its handling of information is described in Google’s Privacy Policy.

Reading preferences

The BriefSpire theme stores your light/dark preference and checklist selections in local browser storage. These values stay in that browser; the theme does not send them to BriefSpire. You can remove them by clearing this site’s browser data. Clipboard access is requested only when you choose to copy an executive brief.

Search and links

Using the site search sends your query to Blogger. Following an external source link takes you to a separately operated site with its own privacy practices. Related-story requests load BriefSpire’s public feed.

AI-assisted editorial work

The editorial system sends retrieved source material to an AI service to prepare drafts. It does not send reader checklist selections or reading preferences. Readers should not include private or confidential information in correspondence or comments.

Advertising, analytics and contact

BriefSpire is hosted on Google’s Blogger platform. The delivered page includes Google advertising-related configuration, including an adsbygoogle setting. The presence of this setting alone does not establish whether an advertisement is served or what data is processed. Google’s Privacy Policy describes its processing; this notice does not claim that Blogger performs no advertising-related processing. Any additional advertising or analytics services introduced by BriefSpire will require a review of this notice and applicable consent controls. Privacy questions can be sent to briefspire@gmail.com.

Email and editorial responsibility

BriefSpire is the publication name, and the publisher retains responsibility for the site. The approved contact address is briefspire@gmail.com, using Google Gmail. Email correspondence can include your sender address, message and any information you choose to attach. The owner of BriefSpire is responsible for editorial decisions and is the only person managing access to this publication mailbox. Gmail is provided by Google and its processing is subject to Google’s policies. Messages are used to respond to the enquiry, feedback or correction you send.

Email retention

Ordinary enquiry correspondence is deleted six months after the enquiry is closed. Necessary correction records may be retained separately to document editorial corrections. This is a publisher-managed process, not an automatic deletion feature of this website.
