At The Briefing, we take your privacy seriously — even more seriously than our desire for ad revenue (and that’s saying something).

We may collect basic information like your IP address, browser type, and how many hours you spend spiraling in the comments. This data is used exclusively to improve our content and, occasionally, to shout “We’re up 800% in Gen Z clicks!” at our competitors.

We do not sell your data to third parties. We might, however, whisper your name into the void and hope it echoes back as ad revenue.

And look — we get it. Internet privacy matters. We’ve all been there: some adult site leaks your viewing history and suddenly you’re explaining to your friends why your top search is “eye contact and hand holding.” It’s embarrassing. Especially when you went to a liberal arts college and should, at the very least, be into ropes or role-play.

To request deletion of your data, email us at hello@thebriefing.org with the subject line: “Privacy.” Our Head of Legal will handle it once she finishes bingeing Suits (she aims for 3 business days).
