Privacy Policy
Last updated:
Introduction and Who We Are
This Privacy Policy explains how Rag Briefs collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website and the Rag Brief: Document Chunking Architect tool. Rag Briefs provides a browser based experience intended to help AI developers plan text chunking for retrieval augmented generation workflows. We strive to be transparent about data practices and to describe both what happens locally in your browser and what may occur when third party services load on the page.
Depending on your jurisdiction, privacy laws may grant you rights regarding access, correction, deletion, and objection. We describe many of those rights below in a GDPR focused section. If you have questions about this policy, contact us at haithemhamtinee@gmail.com.
This policy applies to visitors who read our articles, use the planner, navigate legal pages, and contact support. It is written to be useful even if you are not a lawyer, but it is not a substitute for legal advice tailored to your situation. If you use Rag Briefs on behalf of an organization, you remain responsible for ensuring your use complies with internal policies and applicable regulations.
We may update this policy as our site evolves. When we do, we adjust the last updated date and, when appropriate, provide additional notice. Continued use after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy, except where applicable law requires explicit consent for specific changes.
What Data We Collect
Information you provide: If you email us, we receive your message content, your email address, and any attachments you choose to send. Information processed locally: When you use the chunking planner, the text you paste is analyzed in your browser to generate recommendations. That processing is designed to occur without sending your pasted document to Rag Briefs servers because the tool operates client side. Usage data: Like many sites, we may collect usage information through analytics technologies described below, which can include pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, device type, and interaction events.
Cookies and similar technologies: We may use cookies or local storage to support site functionality, remember preferences, or enable analytics and advertising partners to operate as configured. Technical data: Server logs and analytics providers may process IP addresses and user agent strings when you load resources.
We do not intentionally collect special categories of sensitive personal data through the planner because we do not require you to submit it. If you voluntarily include sensitive information in an email, we will use that information only to respond and will delete it when no longer needed, subject to legal retention requirements.
If you load third party scripts, those providers may collect additional technical signals according to their own configurations. We describe representative categories in the Third Party Services section, but you should also review vendor documentation for granular detail.
How We Use Your Data
We use information to operate and improve Rag Briefs, respond to support requests, secure our services, understand aggregate usage patterns, and comply with legal obligations. We do not use pasted planner text for training Rag Briefs models because that text is not transmitted to us by the tool’s core local analysis design. If that design changes in the future, we will update this policy prominently and describe any new collection before it occurs.
We may use analytics to identify broken flows, popular pages, and device mix so we can prioritize accessibility and performance improvements. If advertising is enabled, ad partners may use data to show and measure ads as described in their policies.
We may aggregate or de identify data so it no longer reasonably identifies you, and we may use such data for research, reporting, and product planning. We do not sell your personal information as a standalone commercial asset, and we do not use email addresses collected through support for unrelated marketing unless you clearly opt in.
Security monitoring may involve automated scanning for abuse patterns, suspicious traffic, or policy violations. Those processes focus on protecting service availability and user safety rather than profiling individuals beyond what is necessary.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. They can be session based or persistent. We may use essential cookies required for basic functionality, analytics cookies that help us understand usage, and advertising cookies if ad services are configured. You can control many cookies through browser settings, and you may use opt out tools provided by industry organizations where available.
Do Not Track signals are not universally standardized. We currently treat privacy choices primarily through consent mechanisms where required, browser cookie controls, and the opt out pathways described by third party partners.
Local storage and similar technologies may store small amounts of data in your browser for performance or preference reasons. These technologies can often be cleared through browser settings alongside cookies.
If you use private browsing modes, cookies may not persist after the session ends, which can affect analytics accuracy from your perspective but does not necessarily prevent all network level logging by infrastructure providers.
Third Party Services
Our site may load third party resources such as fonts, content delivery networks, and optional monetization or measurement tools. In particular, Google AdSense may deliver advertisements and use cookies to personalize or measure ad performance where applicable and permitted. Google Analytics may be used to collect aggregated usage statistics such as page views, session duration, and referral sources.
These providers process data under their own terms and privacy policies. We encourage you to review Google’s policy documentation for AdSense and Analytics to understand retention, processing locations, and choices they offer.
Third parties may process data in multiple countries. When data crosses borders, safeguards may include standard contractual clauses or other mechanisms required by law. The details depend on the vendor and your region.
We select vendors with mainstream security practices, but we do not control their systems. If a vendor experiences an incident, they typically notify customers and users according to their obligations. We will cooperate as appropriate and update users if we learn information that materially affects privacy.
Your Rights Under GDPR
If the GDPR applies to you, you may have rights including: access to personal data we hold about you, rectification of inaccurate data, erasure in certain circumstances, restriction of processing, data portability where processing is based on contract or consent and is automated, and objection to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
To exercise rights, email haithemhamtinee@gmail.com with enough detail for us to verify and fulfill your request. We may need to confirm your identity before disclosing information or making changes.
Some rights are not absolute. For example, erasure may be limited when we must retain records to meet legal obligations or establish legal claims. When we decline a request, we will explain the basis unless prohibited by law.
If you believe we process personal data on behalf of your organization under instructions, you should contact your organization’s administrator first, and we will assist as required by contract and law.
Data Retention
Support emails are retained as needed to resolve inquiries and maintain records of communications. Analytics and advertising partners retain data according to their own schedules. We aim to minimize retention of personal data to what is necessary for legitimate business purposes and legal compliance.
When retention periods expire, we delete or de identify data where feasible. Backup systems may retain copies for a limited time before automatic rotation removes them.
Legal holds may extend retention when we reasonably anticipate litigation, regulatory inquiry, or audit requirements. We will release holds when underlying obligations end.
Children’s Privacy
Rag Briefs is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it where required.
Parents and guardians who permit older teens to use general internet resources should supervise usage and discourage sharing personal details in support emails or public forums linked from content.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we update the policy, we will revise the last updated date shown on this page. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice as appropriate.
Material changes may include new categories of collection, new sharing arrangements, or new purposes that expand how data is used. We encourage you to review this page periodically, especially before you submit sensitive information.
