Privacy policy

Viesly collects the information needed to operate accounts, subscriptions, and article analysis. This may include your account email address, subscription status, analysis usage counts, and support messages you choose to send us.

When you choose to analyze an article with the Chrome extension, Viesly may process the current page URL, article text, page language, publication metadata, outlet, author, and related article content from the tab you selected. Article text comes from your open browser tab; Viesly's backend does not fetch news URLs directly for the extension flow.

Viesly does not store full article text in its database. We may store analysis results and limited metadata, such as URL-derived identifiers, outlet, author, output language, trust score, flags, summaries, timestamps, and account-level usage records needed to show history, enforce quotas, prevent abuse, and improve service reliability.

Article content may be sent securely to Viesly's backend and processed by AI model providers acting as service providers for the sole purpose of generating the requested analysis. Analysis outputs are AI-detected patterns, not statements of fact.

Authentication tokens, cached profile data, theme/preferences, and temporary per-article analysis state may be stored locally in your browser so the extension can keep you signed in, sync with the website, and avoid repeating the same analysis unnecessarily.

Payments are handled by Stripe. Viesly may store subscription and Stripe customer identifiers needed to operate billing, but we do not store full payment card numbers.

Viesly does not sell user data, does not share user data with third parties for advertising purposes, and does not use user data for creditworthiness or lending decisions.

Viesly does not collect your general browsing history. The extension only uses the specific page you explicitly ask it to analyze and blocks unsupported domains.
