CampaignBrief collects the minimum personal information necessary to operate the platform, authenticate users, process payments, and improve the service.
CampaignBrief is a narrative monitoring platform built around public data. The following are things we explicitly do not collect or build:
We do not sell personal information. We do not rent personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
We share personal information only with the following categories of service providers, and only to the extent necessary to operate CampaignBrief:
We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information with data brokers, advertising networks, political data vendors, campaign committees, PACs, or any other third parties for commercial or political purposes. We do not share one client's campaign intelligence, usage data, or monitored signals with any other client.
We may disclose information where required by law, valid legal process, court order, or government authority, or as necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of SapienCX LLC, our users, or the public. We will provide notice of such disclosure where permitted by law.
CampaignBrief monitors publicly available data sources — including public news, FEC filings, Meta Ad Library content, public social media, broadcast TV captions, podcast transcripts, and campaign websites — for narrative signals, phrase patterns, and political intelligence.
CampaignBrief does not monitor private individuals acting in a private capacity. When public figures — including elected officials, candidates, campaign spokespeople, PAC directors, reporters, TV commentators, or podcast hosts — appear in CampaignBrief monitoring data, it is because they are acting in a public-facing capacity and their statements or actions are part of the public record being monitored. This monitoring is based on their public statements and public roles, not on collection of their personal data.
CampaignBrief does not build profiles of private citizens. CampaignBrief does not link monitored public content to personally identifiable voter records.
When the AI analysis feature is enabled, CampaignBrief uses the OpenAI API to generate narrative summaries, phrase-convergence assessments, and intelligence analysis from text excerpts of publicly monitored sources.
The following data handling practices apply to AI analysis:
If AI analysis is disabled for your deployment (AI_ANALYSIS_ENABLED=false), no content is sent to OpenAI and AI-generated summaries are not produced.
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information, including:
No internet service can be guaranteed completely secure. If we determine that a security incident requires notification to affected users, we will notify you without undue delay and within the timeframe required by applicable law.
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, consistent with our legal obligations:
You may request earlier deletion of your personal data, subject to our legal obligations to retain certain records. To request deletion, contact tom@phase3ai.com.
Depending on where you are located, you may have the following rights with respect to personal information we hold about you:
To exercise any of these rights, email tom@phase3ai.com. We will respond within thirty (30) days and may verify your identity before acting on your request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
If you are located in the EU or UK, our legal bases for processing include performance of a contract (account, subscription, billing, and paid features), legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention, analytics, and product improvement, where not overridden by your rights), compliance with legal obligations, and consent where required.
CampaignBrief uses browser localStorage — not cookies — to store your access token locally so that you remain authenticated across sessions without re-entering your token. This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to advertising networks or third-party tracking services.
CampaignBrief does not use:
You can clear your localStorage at any time through your browser's developer tools or site settings, which will log you out of CampaignBrief.
CampaignBrief is neutral by design. SapienCX LLC does not use CampaignBrief product data — including usage analytics, client campaign data, or monitoring outputs — for any political purpose, political fundraising, or political advocacy.
Each client's campaign intelligence is isolated. We do not share, cross-reference, or aggregate one client's monitoring data, signals, or usage patterns with another client's data. Client campaign intelligence is treated as confidential and is not disclosed to competitors, other clients, or third parties except as required by law.
SapienCX LLC does not endorse any candidate, party, political position, or issue campaign. The platform is available to users across the political spectrum on the same terms.
CampaignBrief may display links to or attribution for third-party public sources — including FEC.gov, Meta Ad Library, news publishers, and other public data sources — as part of evidence presentation. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies and terms of service. SapienCX LLC is not responsible for the privacy practices of linked or referenced third-party sites.
CampaignBrief is operated from the United States and is primarily intended for users operating in US elections and political campaigns. If you access CampaignBrief from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers (Stripe, Supabase, OpenAI) operate. Where required by applicable law, we rely on lawful data transfer mechanisms.
We may update this Privacy Policy over time. Material changes will be communicated to active subscribers via email at the address on file before they take effect. We will maintain a current version of this Policy at campaignbrief.net/privacy.html. Continued use of CampaignBrief after the effective date of a revised Policy constitutes your acceptance of those revisions.
