Privacy at a glance
01. Information we handle
Daily Brief stores these items locally on your device using Chrome extension storage:
- Preferred news categories and enabled RSS source settings.
- Custom HTTPS RSS or Atom feed URLs that you decide to add.
- Articles you choose to bookmark.
- Appearance settings, refresh intervals and maximum story count.
- Cached story titles, publisher-provided summaries, links, image URLs and update timestamps.
Daily Brief does not require registration and does not ask for your name, email address, payment details, or login credentials.
02. How information is used
The information is used to show your preferred topics and RSS stories, personalize the reader, save your bookmarks, refresh enabled feeds while the side panel is open and make previously cached headlines available when offline. It is not used for targeted advertisements or creditworthiness decisions.
03. External news sources
Daily Brief contacts RSS publishers directly, including BBC News, The Guardian, and any additional feeds you explicitly add. Publisher-hosted article images may load from their media or CDN servers.
These external sites may receive your IP address, device or network metadata and standard HTTP request details. Their own terms and privacy policies govern that processing. Selecting “Open original article” opens the publisher website in Chrome. Daily Brief does not control that website’s content or privacy practices.
04. Storage and sharing
Data about your preferences and reading list is stored locally with chrome.storage.local. Daily Brief has no developer-controlled server to collect this information, no analytics SDK, no advertising tracker and no account sync.
RSS requests and image downloads necessarily communicate with the providers you choose; this is how headlines and media are delivered. Daily Brief does not sell personal information or provide your locally stored bookmarks to advertisers.
05. Retention and deletion
Bookmarks remain saved until you remove them or uninstall the extension. Cached feed results can be replaced during later updates. You can disable categories and RSS sources, remove custom feeds and manage bookmarks using the extension interface.
Uninstalling Daily Brief removes its Chrome extension local storage. There is currently no cross-device synchronization or developer-side account backup.
06. Security
Daily Brief retrieves enabled RSS feeds over HTTPS. For custom feeds, it requests access to the selected publisher’s HTTPS origin when added. Its application JavaScript is bundled in the extension package; publisher RSS content is treated as data, not executed as code.
Like any internet-connected reader, availability and integrity of articles and images depend partly on the publishers providing them.
07. Chrome Web Store and limited use
Daily Brief’s requested permissions serve its single news-reading purpose. The extension does not use information for unrelated advertising, lending decisions or sale to third parties. If published in the Chrome Web Store, this policy describes the extension's declared data-handling practices.
08. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if Daily Brief adds features or changes the way information is handled. The latest policy will be posted at https://qix99.com/daily-brief/privacy with an updated effective date when appropriate.
