Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

IntelBrief (“IntelBrief,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a competitive intelligence service operated by Caden Fenn, an individual doing business as IntelBrief, based in Utah, USA. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our service at intel-brief.com (the “Service”).

2. Information We Collect

Account information. When you sign up, we collect your email address and a hashed password (or, if you use Google Sign-In, your name, email, and Google profile picture as provided by Google OAuth).

Competitor URLs. You provide URLs of competitor websites you want monitored. We store these to run scans on your behalf.

Payment information. Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your full card number or CVV. Stripe provides us with a tokenized payment method and basic billing details (e.g., last 4 digits, expiry).

Usage data. We log basic usage information such as scan timestamps, token usage, and error events to operate and improve the Service.

Communications. If you contact us by email, we retain that correspondence to respond to your inquiry.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and manage your account
• Run competitive intelligence scans on competitor websites you provide
• Generate AI-powered reports, battlecards, and summaries
• Send you scan results, account notifications, and transactional emails via Resend
• Process payments and manage your subscription via Stripe
• Diagnose technical issues and improve the Service
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data to train AI models.

4. Google Sign-In

If you choose to sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google as part of the OAuth flow. We use this information solely to create and authenticate your IntelBrief account. We do not access your Google Drive, Gmail, calendar, contacts, or any other Google services.

You can revoke IntelBrief’s access to your Google account at any time via your Google Account permissions.

5. Third-Party Service Providers

We share data with the following third parties only as necessary to operate the Service:

• Supabase — database and authentication infrastructure (stores your account data and scan results)
• Stripe — payment processing (handles billing, does not share full card data with us)
• Resend — transactional email delivery (sends scan results and account emails)
• Anthropic — AI model provider (processes competitor page content to generate reports; Anthropic’s API usage policy prohibits training on your data)
• Firecrawl — web scraping infrastructure (fetches public competitor pages on your behalf)
• Vercel — hosting and edge infrastructure
• Google — OAuth authentication (if you use Google Sign-In)

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data and scan history for as long as your account is active. If you cancel your subscription and request deletion, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or accounting purposes.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”)
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Data portability (receive your data in a machine-readable format)

To exercise any of these rights, email us at support@intelbrief.io. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Security

We use industry-standard security practices including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and access-controlled database infrastructure provided by Supabase. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

9. Children’s Privacy

IntelBrief is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or by posting a notice in the dashboard. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects when changes were last made. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
