Terms and Conditions

1. Introduction

Welcome to SimplyGist ("we," "our," or "us"). By subscribing to our newsletter or using our website, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. SimplyGist provides an automated daily email newsletter focused on AI and Product Management insights, curated and generated through automated processes.

2. Email Collection and Privacy Policy

2.1 Why We Collect Your Email

We collect your email address for one purpose only: to deliver our daily newsletter to your inbox. Your email is the essential identifier that allows us to send you the content you've subscribed to receive.

2.2 How We Use Your Email

Your email address is used strictly and exclusively for:

• Sending you our daily AI and Product Management newsletter
• Processing unsubscribe requests
• Maintaining our subscriber database

2.3 What We Will NEVER Do

We make the following absolute commitments:

• No advertisements: We will never send you promotional emails, advertisements, or marketing materials from third parties
• No selling or sharing: We will never sell, rent, lease, or give access to your email address to any third party for any reason
• No spam: We will only send you the daily newsletter you subscribed to receive—nothing more
• Strict confidentiality: Your email address is treated as strictly confidential information

2.4 Data Security

We store your email address securely using industry-standard database encryption and security practices. Access to subscriber data is restricted and protected. However, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

2.5 Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in every email or through our website
• Request deletion of your email address from our database
• Know what data we have collected about you (limited to your email address and subscription date)

3. AI-Generated Content and Automated Processing

3.1 Fully Automated System

Important: SimplyGist operates as a fully automated, AI-powered system. There is no human in the loop for content creation, curation, or distribution. All newsletter content is:

• Automatically collected from public sources (LinkedIn posts, YouTube videos, articles)
• Processed and summarized by artificial intelligence systems
• Curated and formatted by automated algorithms
• Sent to subscribers without human review or editorial oversight

3.2 Source Attribution and Derived Claims

All insights, claims, statements, and information presented in our newsletter are:

• Derived from original authors' posts and content, not created by SimplyGist
• Summaries and interpretations generated by AI systems based on source material
• Not endorsed or verified by SimplyGist as factually accurate
• Attributed to original sources wherever possible through links and citations

3.3 No Direct Claims by SimplyGist

SimplyGist does not make any direct claims about AI, Product Management, technology, business strategies, or any other subject matter. We are a content aggregation and summarization service that presents information from third-party sources. Any opinions, recommendations, predictions, or advice presented in our newsletter originate from the original content creators, not from SimplyGist.

3.4 AI Limitations and Errors

As an AI-powered service, our content may contain:

• Inaccuracies, misinterpretations, or errors in summarization
• Outdated information if source content has been updated after processing
• Bias inherent in AI training data or source material
• Technical errors in content extraction or formatting

While we value your feedback, we are not obligated to respond to individual submissions, implement suggestions, or provide updates on how feedback was used.
