Brave Browser Privacy Policy

The only change in this update is that a link about Brave Sync privacy protections was broken (its web address was removed). No wording about data collection, sharing, or user rights changed.

Cosmetic change: formatting, typos, or contact details.

7171Brave Email Aliases allows you to sign up for services without revealing your real email address, by generating unique addresses that forward to your primary email inbox.

73Once you sign up for Email Aliases, we will store the primary email address associated with your Brave Account and any email aliases that you generate. Brave does not read the contents of these emails, except to perform standard spam and virus filtering. In case of temporary email delivery failures (e.g., if your primary mailbox is full), we will periodically try to resend the email for up to 24 hours, before deleting the message. We will never reveal emails or aliases associated with your Brave Account unless obligated to do so by a valid legal request. Any notes you create for aliases are stored locally on your device, unless you use Brave Sync, in which case they're encrypted end-to-end between devices on the same Sync chain. Only you can decrypt or read these notes. Learn more about how Brave Sync protects your privacy [here](https://brave.com/).
± CHANGEDBroken link to Brave Sync privacy info

The link that was supposed to take you to more information about how Brave Sync protects your privacy no longer points anywhere. The surrounding text about email aliases and encryption is unchanged.
