Who runs this website

Brief This Doc (briefthisdoc.com) is run by Zdeněk Zajíček, Czech Republic, who is the controller of personal data connected with running the site.

Contact for questions about the site, privacy or corrections: admin [at] tahakomat.cz (written this way to limit automated harvesting).

Brief This Doc is currently a non-commercial personal project. It offers no paid services, no shop and no online payments. If that changes, this page will be updated.

Read This Doc and your documents

When you open a document or paste text in Read This Doc, it is processed in your browser on your own device. It is never uploaded to this website.

• Local voices read the text directly on your device.
• Online voices (marked “· online” in the voice list – for example the natural voices in Microsoft Edge or the Google voices in Chrome) send the text being read to the speech service of your browser's maker. That processing follows the privacy terms of Microsoft, Google or the respective provider. For sensitive documents, choose a local voice.
• The last text, your listening position and your chosen voice are saved in your browser's local storage, so you can continue later. They never leave your device. You can remove the text with Clear text in the paste form and turn saving off in Voice settings.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is used to measure visits and improve the site – for example which pages people visit and how they find the site. It never sees the content of your documents.

The legal basis is your consent. Without it, Google Analytics does not load. If you withdraw consent later, further measurement stops and analytics cookies are removed.

Your choice is stored in your browser for 180 days, so the banner doesn't appear on every page. How long Google keeps analytics data depends on the settings of the site owner's Google Analytics account.

When analytics is allowed, data is received by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, and possibly other Google group companies under the Google Analytics terms. Data may be transferred outside the EU/EEA under the safeguards described in Google's privacy policy.

Changing your choice

The site only stores whether you allowed or declined analytics. This record contains no name, e-mail or document content. You can change your choice any time with the Privacy button in the bottom right corner of the page.

External services

Some links lead to external services: Clever Sheet Machine runs in ChatGPT (OpenAI), and the contact page links to Facebook/Messenger. Once you open them, you leave Brief This Doc and their own terms and privacy policies apply. The author of Clever Sheet Machine cannot see individual users' conversations in ChatGPT.

Please don't paste sensitive or confidential personal data into any AI chat unless it is necessary and you know how the service handles it.

E-mail

If you write by e-mail, the data you send – your address, name and the content of your message – is used only to reply and deal with your request. The legal basis is the legitimate interest in answering you. Messages are kept as long as needed to handle the request, and no longer than two years unless there is a reason to keep them longer.

AI-assisted illustrations

Some illustrations on this site were created or edited with the help of AI. They are decorative and do not document real events.

Your rights

You can contact the operator with questions about your personal data or to request correction or deletion. If you believe your data is not handled properly, you can also contact the Czech data protection authority, the Office for Personal Data Protection: uoou.gov.cz.
