This Privacy Policy explains how Squire (squire.news), operated by Bailey Meyers, a sole proprietor (“Squire,” “we,” or “us”), collects, uses, and protects information when you use the Service. It covers both account holders and the recipients to whom briefs are delivered.
We use this information to operate the Service: generating and delivering briefs, managing your subscription, providing support, monitoring reliability, and improving the product. We do not use your data for third-party advertising.
We rely on a small set of service providers to run Squire. Each receives only the data needed for its function:
| Provider | Purpose | Data involved |
|---|---|---|
| Clerk | Account authentication and user management | Email address, name, sign-in credentials and sessions |
| Stripe | Subscription billing and payments | Payment details, billing email, subscription status |
| Supabase | Database hosting (PostgreSQL) | Account, configuration, recipient, and delivery data |
| Brevo | Transactional email delivery with open/click tracking | Recipient names and email addresses, engagement events |
| Anthropic | AI generation of briefs (Claude models) | Brief configuration and source article content |
| TypeSafe AI | AI relevance scoring and quality checks for briefs (Jev model), with zero data retention | Brief configuration and source article content |
| Vercel | Application hosting and AI model routing (AI Gateway) | Standard request logs (IP address, user agent); brief configuration and article content routed to AI models |
| n8n | Workflow automation orchestrating brief generation | Brief configuration, generation run data |
| PostHog | Product and website analytics, session replay | Pages visited, feature usage, account email, email engagement events, IP address, device and browser details |
| Sentry | Error monitoring | Error reports with request and device details |
Brief emails are delivered through Brevo, which records opens (via a tracking pixel) and link clicks (via rewritten tracking links). We use this engagement data to show you delivery metrics and to keep the sending system healthy.
We use PostHog to understand how squire.news and the Squire app are used: pages visited, time on page, which features are used, and how brief emails are opened and clicked. PostHog sets first-party cookies and local storage to recognize returning visitors. Session replays record page layout and interactions; text and form inputs inside the app are masked, so brief content and recipient details are not captured in replays. This data is used only to improve Squire and is never used for advertising.
Account and configuration data is retained while your account is active and deleted upon account deletion. Cached news articles and brief generation history are pruned on a rolling basis as part of normal operation. Unsubscribe (suppression) records are retained so that opt-outs remain honored.
Every brief email includes an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing adds the address to a suppression list that is checked before every send, so a suppressed recipient will not receive further briefs even if re-added. Recipients may also contact us directly at bailey@squire.news to have their data removed.
We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
All data is encrypted in transit (TLS). Our database enforces row-level security so each account can access only its own data, and administrative access follows least-privilege practices. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures appropriate to the data we hold.
The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Depending on where you live (including under the GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, email bailey@squire.news. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law and will never discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
We may update this Policy from time to time. For material changes we will give notice by email or in the app before the changes take effect. The “Last updated” date above reflects the current version.
