What PIE knows about you, and what it doesn't.

Plain prose. Short enumeration. The list is finite, and we tell you what's on it.

The seven things we collect

Email address (for sign-in and digest delivery). Lens declarations (the dial on /lens). Subscriptions (the topics you've subscribed to). Reading record (which stories you opened, in your account only — never aggregated, never displayed elsewhere). Skip / set-aside record (Phase 8.5, same scope). Inferred lens drift (Phase 8.5; observational, not used to filter). Magic-link tokens (15-minute lifetime, single-use, deleted on use).

02

The companies we share data with

Resend sends our email — they receive your address and the body of any message we send you, and nothing else. Anthropic, Google Vertex, xAI run the language models that draft framings — they receive outlet text only, never reader data. Voyage embeds outlet coverage for clustering — same scope, no reader data. Google Cloud hosts the database. That's the list.

03

Cookies

One cookie, for sign-in session. No analytics cookies. No advertising cookies. No “consent banner” because there is nothing to consent to beyond keeping you signed in.

04

Your controls

Unsubscribe (per-email link, immediate). Sign out (anywhere). Delete account — email hello@pie.news; we soft-delete for 30 days then hard-delete. The sources page lays out our editorial choices in the same plain register.

Material changes get emailed. We don't run a changelog UI for this page; if it changes, you find out from us, not by checking.
