The short version
We hold your email address and the practice profile you give us, so we can decide what to send you. We do not sell it and we do not advertise to you. You can delete everything yourself, at any time, from the link in any issue.
What we hold, and why
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Email address | To send the digest and confirm you asked for it. Without it there is no product. |
| Name, if you give one | To address you. Optional. |
| Language, cadence, delivery channel | How and how often you want the issue. |
| Practice profile: jurisdictions, practice areas, content types, court levels, how important an item must be to reach you, and the free-text description of your practice | This is what the selection runs on. Write as much or as little as you like. |
| The address of a professional page, if you give one, and the text of that page | To draft the practice profile above so you need not fill it in by hand. You see the draft in your confirmation email and can change any of it. Kept until you delete your account. |
| Which linked sources you open | To adjust what we select towards what you actually read. |
| Sign-in events and issues sent | So a link cannot be replayed indefinitely, and so we do not send you the same item twice. |
Legal basis
Consent, given at signup and confirmed by clicking the link we email you. You may withdraw it at any time; withdrawing does not affect processing that already happened.
Automated processing
Classification, summarisation and selection are automatic. If you give us the address of a professional page, it is read to draft your profile; the draft is shown to you and is yours to change. Nothing we do produces a legal or similarly significant effect on you: the outcome is which public legal items appear in your issue.
Who else sees it
- Resend, which delivers our email.
- Hostinger, which hosts birbyne.com.
No payment processor is involved while Birbyne is free. If paid plans are introduced, the payment provider will be named here before any charge, and card details will be handled by that provider, never by us.
Where it is held
By us and by the providers named above. Email is delivered through Resend, which may process it outside the EEA under that provider's transfer safeguards.
How long
For as long as you are subscribed. If you never confirm your address, the record is removed within 30 days. When you delete your account, your subscriber record, preferences, engagement history, delivery history, sign-in events and any waitlist entry are all removed: not flagged as deleted, removed.
Backups are the exception, and we would rather say so than let you assume otherwise. A backup taken before your deletion still contains your record until that backup ages out, which takes at most 14 days, after which it is destroyed. Backups are used for one thing only: restoring the service after a failure.
Your rights
You can see and change your profile from the link in any issue, and delete everything from the same page. Under the GDPR you also have the right to access a copy of your data, to correct it, to object to processing, to data portability, and to complain to your national supervisory authority. Write to us and we will answer.
Cookies
The site sets no advertising or analytics cookies. Access is by emailed link, so there is no login session to keep.
