Security & Privacy
Your messages deserve the highest protection.
Briefli is built to summarize the groups you choose while keeping your conversations private, secured, and under your control.
How We Protect Your Data
We use strong safeguards behind the scenes, but the goal is simple: keep your information protected and limit who or what can touch it.
Encryption of Credentials
Your WhatsApp connection credentials and linked-account tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM, using a unique key per user. Message text is held only briefly on secured infrastructure and then automatically deleted (see Data Retention).
Key Management
Encryption keys are stored in Azure Key Vault, separate from your data. That means the keys and the locked data are not kept in the same place.
Data Retention
Messages are kept for 14 days and then automatically deleted. Child-monitoring messages are kept for 7 days. Auth sessions are deleted as soon as you disconnect.
Access Controls
No employee can read your messages. Processing is handled by automated systems only, with no human review of your conversations.
What We Access
Briefli only works with the content needed to deliver summaries. We read the text of messages in the groups you select — including text inside images you share (for example, a photographed flyer or schedule); the image file itself is not stored. If something is not needed, we do not touch it.
| ✅ | Groups you explicitly select |
| ❌ | Private 1:1 chats — never read or processed |
| ❌ | Videos and voice notes |
| ❌ | Your contacts list |
| ❌ | Messaging your contacts on our own (we only deliver your digest to the destination you choose) |
Your Control
You stay in charge of your connection and your data.
Disconnect anytime
When you disconnect Briefli, your active auth session is deleted immediately.
Export your data
Email us at [email protected] to request a copy of the data tied to your account.
Delete your account
If you no longer want to use Briefli, you can request account deletion and data removal.
