Privacy Policy

MapleBrief (“MapleBrief”, “we”, “us”) is an automated news-digest site. We aggregate publicly available news feeds from Canadian news publishers, independently review and summarize that reporting into original briefs using a language model, and present them with clear attribution to each original publisher.

We do not require accounts and do not ask you to sign in. We do not collect names, email addresses, or other identifying personal data beyond what is automatically generated by your browser.

• Server access logs (IP address, user agent, referrer, timestamp).
• De-identified interaction metrics collected by third-party analytics and advertising vendors.
• Data collected by our advertising partner, Google, as described below.

We display advertising served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies — including the Google DART (DoubleClick Ad Tracking) cookie — to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other sites on the Internet.

DART enables Google and its partners to serve ads to visitors based on their visit to this site and other sites on the Internet.

Visitors may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad Settings page:https://www.google.com/settings/ads.

We may use first-party cookies for basic site functionality (e.g., remembering preferences where applicable). Third-party cookies are set by our advertising vendors as described in Section 3. You can control cookies through your browser settings; blocking all cookies may affect parts of the site.

Our briefs link out to original publisher articles. Those publishers have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or practices.

Our service is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 (or the relevant local age in Canada).

To the extent PIPEDA or provincial privacy laws apply, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you. Contact us using the details below.
