How Briefly NewsStream handles account data, API usage, and public news sources.
Last updated 21 August 2026
What this product is
Briefly NewsStream is a bilingual market-news API and developer console. Public pages and the briefing are available without an account. Console features require an email and password.
What we collect
Console accounts store the email you register with, a hashed password, API keys you create, plan status, and request counts used to enforce daily limits.
We log enough operational data to run the service, debug failures, and apply the Free (3 requests a day) and Pro (500 requests a day) limits. We do not collect phone numbers and we do not offer Google sign-in.
News content
Indexed headlines and summaries are drawn from publicly available publisher material. That content remains the publisher's. We keep an index so the API can return structured Arabic and English fields.
Cookies and sessions
Signed-in console sessions use cookies so you stay logged in. Marketing pages do not require an account cookie. Language on public pages is a URL parameter (`lang=en`), not a tracking profile.
What we do not do
We do not sell personal account data. We do not use your console email for a marketing drip unless you wrote to us and asked for a reply.
