Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Past Briefly, LLC (“Past Briefly,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use our websites, applications, software, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). It is the only privacy policy for Past Briefly, LLC, and it also covers Rivington, a household concierge service that is a product of Past Briefly, LLC. Text messages from Rivington are covered in section 17.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information.

Account Information

When you create an account, we may collect information such as your:

Creative Content

We collect content you submit to or create through Past Briefly, including:

We refer to this information collectively as “Creative Content.”

Payment Information

If you purchase a paid subscription, payments may be processed by a third-party payment processor.

We generally do not directly store complete payment card numbers. We may receive information relating to your purchase, such as your subscription status, transaction amount, billing period, payment status, and limited billing information.

Usage and Device Information

We may automatically collect information about how you interact with the Service, including:

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to maintain sessions for signed-in members, remember preferences, understand usage, improve performance, prevent fraud, and analyze the Service.

When Google Analytics 4 is enabled for the public site (configured by Past Briefly under [email protected]), a first-party measurement script may load on public indexable pages such as the home, watch, character, Terms, and Privacy pages. It is not loaded on studio, accounts, login, or other private member surfaces. IP anonymization is requested in the measurement configuration. Public visitors browsing watch pages may also encounter third-party cookies when they choose to load an official platform player (for example TikTok or YouTube click-to-load embeds) or follow a Watch elsewhere link. Those players are provided by the platforms; Past Briefly does not control their cookie practices. On-site search runs on Past Briefly infrastructure in the current product and is not sent to a third-party search vendor.

We do not sell personal data. This is also true of mobile numbers and text message consent (see section 17). Published public pages are public on the web; platforms’ terms govern reuse of posts hosted there. Private member Creative Content is not used to train general-purpose models.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information to:

3. Artificial Intelligence Providers

Past Briefly may use third-party artificial intelligence providers to provide AI-powered features.

When you use these features, relevant portions of your prompts, Creative Content, project context, or instructions may be transmitted to these providers so they can process your request.

We seek to use providers and configurations appropriate for commercial software applications, but third-party processing remains subject to agreements between Past Briefly and those providers.

We do not permit our AI service providers to use your Creative Content to train their general-purpose models where our applicable provider agreement or API configuration allows us to prevent such use.

4. Use of Creative Content for Model Training

We do not use your private Creative Content to train general-purpose artificial intelligence models.

We may use limited information about how users interact with the Service to improve Past Briefly, including product analytics, error information, user feedback, and aggregated or de-identified usage patterns.

5. How We Share Information

We may share information with service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as:

These providers may process information only as necessary to provide their services to us and subject to applicable contractual obligations.

We may also disclose information:

We do not sell your screenplay, story ideas, or other Creative Content.

Text messaging exclusion. For Rivington text messaging, the terms in section 17 control over this section 5 and section 6: no mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes, and mobile opt-in data and consent will not be shared with or sold to any third parties, affiliates or lead generators.

6. Business Transfers

If Past Briefly is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Any successor entity will remain subject to applicable privacy obligations regarding your information.

This section does not apply to mobile opt-in data and text message consent, which are never shared with or sold to third parties, affiliates or lead generators (see section 17).

7. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

When you delete content or your account, deletion from active systems may not be instantaneous. Information may remain temporarily in backups or be retained where required for legitimate legal, security, or operational purposes.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You should maintain your own backup copies of important screenplay and project materials.

17. Rivington by Past Briefly and Text Messaging

Rivington is a household concierge service and a product of Past Briefly, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company operating in New York City. Text messages from Rivington are signed “Rivington by Past Briefly.” This section covers mobile information and text messaging for Rivington. Program details are at https://rivington.ai/sms.

What we collect

The Rivington waitlist collects email addresses only. It does not collect phone numbers and does not sign you up for texts.

How we use it

We text you only if you opted in by checking the optional, unchecked text message box during Rivington onboarding, or by texting START after opting out. Texting is not a condition of purchase. We use your mobile information only to send and receive the texts described here, to keep a record of your consent and opt-outs, and to provide the Service.

Texts are customer care and account notifications about your membership: replies to your requests, confirmations, reminders, approvals, your weekly brief, and billing and account notices. We do not send marketing or promotional texts.

No sharing of mobile information

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile opt-in data and consent will not be shared with or sold to any third parties, affiliates or lead generators.

This restriction controls over section 5 and section 6 of this policy. We will never begin sharing mobile numbers or text message consent data for marketing.

Opting out and getting help

Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP (or STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, QUIT, REVOKE or OPTOUT) to opt out, HELP or INFO for help, and START or UNSTOP to opt back in. Texting STOP stops text messages only; it does not cancel your membership. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. You can also email hq@pastbriefly.com.

How long we keep it

We keep SMS opt-in and opt-out records to demonstrate consent, for up to 4 years after your last opt-in or opt-out. After you cancel your membership, we delete your other account data 30 days later, and it is removed from backups within a further 30 days. You can ask us to delete specific information at any time by emailing hq@pastbriefly.com.

18. Rivington Household Information

This section covers the information Rivington, the household concierge from Past Briefly, LLC, handles for member households. Section 17 covers mobile information and texting. Where this section differs from sections 1 to 16, it controls for Rivington.

What we collect

How we use and protect it

We use household information only to provide Rivington to your household: to understand and carry out your requests, keep your calendar and plans straight, place and track purchases, and improve how well we do that for you. We don’t sell it, and we don’t use it for advertising.

Each adult has a private thread with Rivington. What one client tells Rivington privately is not shown to the other adults in the household. Household information is encrypted with a key for your household. People on our team can see it only while working on an open task for your household; every view is recorded in a tamper-evident log, and private items show only as counts.

Who we share it with

We share only what a task needs with the business that fulfils it, for example the name, party size and time for a reservation. Our service providers process information for us under contract: Cloudflare (hosting, storage and email), Stripe (payments and cards), Twilio and Sendblue (texts and calls), Google (if you connect your calendar), and our artificial intelligence model provider, which we reach through Cloudflare’s AI Gateway. We do not permit our AI providers to use household information to train their models where our agreements or settings allow us to prevent it. We may also share information when the law requires it.

Google user data

Rivington’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We use Google Calendar data only to show your schedule to Rivington so it can plan around it and add the events you ask for. We don’t use it for advertising, we don’t sell it, we don’t let people read it except with your permission, for security, or as the law requires, and we don’t use it to train AI models. You can disconnect Google at any time from your Google account settings or by asking Rivington.

How long we keep it

While you are a member, we keep household information to provide the service. After you cancel, your membership runs to the end of the paid month, and we delete your household’s data 30 days after your last day; it is removed from backups within a further 30 days. Before then, you can download it with the export link we send. We keep texting-consent records as described in section 17, payment records as the law requires, and the action log, which records what was done and when, with personal details removed.

You can ask what we hold, ask us to correct or delete something, or cancel at any time: reply “cancel my membership” to any Rivington email or text, or email hq@pastbriefly.com.
