Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 12, 2026

IntelCue (“we”, “our”, “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our platform. The Service is operated by the entity identified in our Terms of Service, which acts as data controller.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Account Information: Name, email address, and password when you create an account.
• Connected Accounts: When you connect third-party services, we store OAuth tokens to access data on your behalf. We only request permissions necessary for the service to function.
• Slack Integration: If you connect Slack, we store your Slack workspace ID, selected channel preferences, and encrypted webhook URLs to deliver notifications on your behalf.
• Source Data: Content from sources you add (newsletters, blogs, news feeds, YouTube channels, websites, patents, SEC filings, Google Ads Transparency data, Certificate Transparency logs, and other sources you configure) is collected and stored within your workspace.
• Usage Data: We collect basic usage information such as pages visited and features used to improve our service.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain our intelligence monitoring service.
• To analyze content from your configured sources and generate insights, trends, and content suggestions.
• To authenticate your identity and manage your account.
• To communicate with you about your account or service updates.

3. Data Storage and Retention

Your data is stored securely on our servers. Content from sources is retained according to the retention period you configure (30, 60, or 90 days). After the retention period, content is automatically deleted. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time.

Data minimization. Monitored public content may incidentally contain personal data (such as an author’s name). We minimize what we retain: we store the publication or source name rather than personal author bylines, we keep only the unsubscribe headers from captured newsletters (discarding sender/recipient addresses and routing information), we anonymize IP addresses stored for security, we redact email addresses from our application logs, we automatically redact structured personal data (such as email addresses, phone numbers, and IP addresses) from stored source content, and we remove subscriber-identifying unsubscribe links from stored newsletter content.

4. Third-Party Services

We integrate with third-party services such as YouTube, Slack, and others. When you connect these services, their respective privacy policies also apply. We only access data that you explicitly authorize through OAuth consent screens. For the complete, maintained list of the sub-processors we use to operate the Service (including their purpose and processing location), see our Sub-processor List.

• Slack: If you connect Slack, we send insight summaries, competitive alerts, and briefings to your chosen Slack channel via encrypted webhooks. No message content from your Slack workspace is read or stored by IntelCue. See Slack's privacy policy for details.
• AI Processing: Content may be processed by AI services (Anthropic Claude) to generate insights and recommendations. This data is not used to train AI models.
• Briefing header graphics: We use Pollinations.ai to render abstract, editorial-style header graphics for briefings (no people, faces, or likenesses). Only a short text description is sent to Pollinations; no personal data or user content is transmitted. See Pollinations' privacy policy for details.
• Google Tag Manager & Analytics: We use Google Tag Manager (which loads Google Analytics) to collect anonymous usage data (pages visited, time on site, device type) to improve our service. These services may set cookies on your device. See Google's privacy policy for details.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data only in the following circumstances:

• With service providers who assist in operating our platform (hosting, database, AI processing).
• When required by law or to protect our legal rights.
• With your explicit consent.

6. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed credentials, and secure token storage. OAuth tokens are stored encrypted and are never exposed to the frontend.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your data.
• Disconnect third-party accounts at any time.
• Export your data.
• Delete your account entirely.
• Object to or request restriction of processing, and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Legal bases (GDPR). We process personal data on the basis of contract (to provide the service to you), legitimate interests (monitoring public sources for competitive intelligence, improving the service, and security), and consent (where applicable, such as analytics cookies). We maintain a Data Protection Impact Assessment for our monitoring activities.

Individuals appearing in monitored content. If you are not a user but your personal data may appear in content monitored through IntelCue, you may request access, objection, or erasure by contacting us at [email protected].

International transfers. We use service providers located in the United States (including hosting, content delivery, AI processing, analytics, and payments). Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA/UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the applicable Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy mechanism.

8. Cookies

• Essential cookies: Used for authentication and session management. These are required for the service to function.
• Analytics cookies: Set by Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data (pages visited, time on site, device type). These help us understand how the service is used and improve it.
• No advertising cookies: We do not use cookies for advertising, remarketing, or behavioral targeting.
• Your choice: Analytics cookies are set only after you accept them via our cookie banner. We apply Google Consent Mode, so analytics storage stays disabled until you consent, and you can decline or change your choice at any time.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised date.
