We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain security and business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or comply with legal requirements. Retention periods may vary by data type and service.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, however.

Children’s Privacy
BriefTop is a general-audience news website and is not designed to solicit personal information from children below the age at which they may independently consent under applicable law. If we learn that personal information was collected from a child in violation of applicable requirements, we may take appropriate steps to delete it.
