Privacy Policy

Overview

Unbubble News has wound down its consumer product. The website no longer offers user accounts, sign-in, the browser extension, messaging bots, email forwarding, surveys, or usage analytics. Visiting the site shows a farewell notice and lets you read previously generated, anonymous analyses.

Two automated analysis pipelines remain operational and do not involve consumer accounts:

• Compass: generates embedded analyses of news articles for partner publishers. Article content is submitted by the publisher through a server-to-server API; no end-user account or personal data is involved.

• Press-review analysis: when a press-monitoring service forwards a press review to a dedicated address, we analyze the listed articles and email back the results.

What data we process

• Article content for analysis: the news content analyzed by our pipelines — submitted by partner publishers through the Compass API, or extracted from the press reviews forwarded to us. This is news/editorial content, not data about you.

• Press-review sender address: for the press-review pipeline we store the email address that forwards the review (a business/operational contact), together with the email subject and the article list, so we can return the results and avoid duplicate processing.

• Generated analyses: the AI-generated output (summary, key facts, contextual points, viewpoints, perspectives, language) plus operational metadata (an identifier, timestamps, status). These records are anonymous — they are not linked to a user account.

• In-browser interaction state: when you explore a published analysis, your selections (such as stance and argument ratings) are kept only in your own browser (session storage). They are not transmitted to or stored on our servers.

Please do not include sensitive personal data in content submitted for analysis. We do not intentionally collect special categories of personal data.

Cookies & tracking

We no longer set analytics or tracking cookies, do not assign visitor identifiers, and do not track you across sessions or other websites. There is no advertising and no third-party advertising cookies.

Service providers (processors) and transfers

We use the following categories of third-party service providers, who act as data processors under contractual terms:

• Cloud infrastructure and hosting: application hosting and serverless functions (Vercel), and database and file storage (Google Firebase / Google Cloud).

• AI service providers: used to generate the analyses, search for related sources, and verify facts. We send the content to be analyzed (or queries derived from it) to these providers (including OpenAI), which act as data processors under contractual terms restricting use of the data for training.

• Email delivery provider: used to receive forwarded press reviews and to send back the analysis results. Processes email addresses and email content.

These providers may process data in countries outside your country of residence. Where applicable, we rely on contractual safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) and provider security measures. You may request a copy of applicable safeguards by contacting us.

Sharing and public links

Generated analyses can be viewed via a link. Anyone with the link may be able to access the analysis. If you do not want an analysis to be shared, do not distribute the link.

Retention

• Generated analyses: retained so existing links keep working, unless we decide to remove them or you ask us to remove a specific item.

• Press-review records: retained for operational purposes (returning results and avoiding duplicate processing).

• Messages: if you contact us, we retain your message as long as needed to respond.

Your rights

If you are in the EEA/UK, you may have rights under GDPR (Arts. 15–22), including:

• access to your personal data;
• rectification of inaccurate data;
• erasure (where applicable);
• restriction of processing;
• objection to processing based on legitimate interests;
• data portability (where applicable);
• withdrawal of consent (where processing is based on consent);
• lodging a complaint with your supervisory authority.

Children’s privacy

The service is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe a child under 16 has provided personal data to us, please contact us at legal@unbubble.news and we will take steps to delete it.
