4. What the Service Does

Brief is a video-discovery and personalization service. You tell us your interests, vibe, preferences, and desired viewing time, and Brief assembles a personalized feed of short-form videos discovered from various third-party platforms. To do this, the Service:

— collects and processes the interests, preferences, prompts, and other inputs you provide;

— curates, filters, ranks, re-orders, moderates, and personalizes video content on your behalf, including automated content moderation and AI-assisted classification, transcription, and scoring;

— selects which videos to include in, and exclude from, your feed; and

— stores and transcribes third-party video content in order to deliver, moderate, and improve the Service, including reviewing individual frames and transcript text to screen for inappropriate material before a video reaches your feed.

Brief does not own the underlying videos, which remain the property of their respective creators and originating platforms. Our storage, transcription, and use of this content is limited to operating, moderating, and improving the Service as described in these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

You are solely responsible for the videos you choose to view, play, and interact with on the Service.
