Privacy policy

Last updated November 11, 2026. This policy covers the website morningbriefs.app and the Morning Brief iPhone app.

The short version

Morning Brief has no accounts and no sign-in. We do not ask for your name, email address, contacts, location or photos, we do not show advertising, and we do not sell or share personal information.

What we collect

Push notification token (iPhone app, only if you turn notifications on). If you allow notifications, the app sends our server the device token that Apple issues for this app. We use it for one purpose: sending you a notification when the day's episode is ready. It is not linked to your identity. Turning notifications off in iOS Settings or deleting the app stops the notifications, and we delete tokens that Apple reports as no longer valid.
Standard server logs. Like most websites, our hosting provider records technical details of requests, such as IP address, time, and the page or file requested. We use these only to keep the service running and to investigate abuse.

What we do not collect

No analytics or tracking tools, and no advertising identifiers.
No cookies for tracking. The website remembers one setting in your browser (whether you dismissed the "Add to Home Screen" tip); it never leaves your device.

Service providers

The service is hosted by Render, with domain services from Cloudflare. Notifications are delivered through Apple's push notification service. These providers process the technical data described above on our behalf.

Links to other sites

Each story links to the news outlets it was summarized from, and photo credits link to Wikimedia Commons. Those sites have their own privacy policies.

Children

Morning Brief is a general news service and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
