Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 26, 2026
1. Who we are
The Focus Brief ("we," "us," or "our") operates this website. We publish independent editorial content about brain health, focus, and cognitive wellness. Some articles include affiliate links to third-party products.
2. Information we collect
We collect two categories of information:
- Automatically collected data: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. This is collected via standard server logs and analytics tools.
- Marketing parameters: When you arrive from an advertisement, your URL may contain campaign tracking parameters (such as
traffic_source,gclid, orfbclid). These help us understand which ads are effective.
We do not knowingly collect personal information such as name, email address, or payment details on this page. If you choose to purchase a product through an affiliate link, your information is collected by the merchant (ClickBank) under their own privacy policy.
3. Cookies and tracking technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to measure site performance and the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These may include:
- Google Analytics or similar analytics tools
- Google Ads conversion and remarketing tags
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel
You can disable cookies through your browser settings or opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings and the NAI opt-out.
4. How we use information
We use the information described above to operate the site, measure traffic, evaluate advertising performance, prevent fraud, and improve the content we publish.
5. Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. We share limited, non-identifying data with analytics and advertising providers (Google, Meta, ClickBank) as needed to operate the services described above. Each provider has its own privacy policy governing its use of that data.
6. Affiliate relationships
This site participates in affiliate programs. When you click an affiliate link and complete a purchase, we may receive a commission from the merchant. This does not affect the price you pay. The merchant — not The Focus Brief — handles the transaction, the product fulfillment, and any refunds or customer service issues.
7. Children
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, the EU, UK, or California), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, or to opt out of certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below.
9. Data retention and security
We retain log and analytics data for the period needed to operate and improve the site, typically no longer than 26 months. We use commercially reasonable safeguards to protect the information we hold, though no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
