Privacy Policy

Last updated July 18, 2026

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Sputnik Intelligence ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website, API, MCP server, and related services (the "Service").

2. Information we collect

We collect:

  • Account information you provide, such as name, email address, and organization, when you sign up or contact us.
  • Usage data, such as API requests, search queries, alert configurations, and log data (IP address, timestamps, user agent) needed to operate and secure the Service.
  • Billing information, processed by our payment provider; we do not store full payment card numbers ourselves.
  • Corpus content: publicly published newsletters and podcasts that we index. This is not personal information about our users, but it may contain personal information about third parties published by the original authors.

3. How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
  • Authenticate accounts and API access, and enforce usage limits.
  • Send transactional communications, such as alert notifications you configure.
  • Respond to support requests.
  • Monitor for abuse, fraud, and security issues.

4. How we share information

We do not sell personal information. We share information only with:

  • Service providers who process data on our behalf (e.g., hosting, database, and payment processors), under contracts requiring appropriate protection.
  • Law enforcement or regulators, when required by law or to protect our rights and users' safety.
  • A successor entity, in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

5. Data retention

We retain account and usage data for as long as your account is active, and for a reasonable period afterward to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Corpus content is retained for the operation of the Service.

6. Your choices

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account information by contacting us at [email protected]. If you are a newsletter writer or podcast host and want your published content removed from the corpus, contact us at the same address.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. International transfers

We may process and store information in countries other than your own. Where required, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above.
