Privacy Policy

Last updated:

Glimpse is an independent publication about interesting people. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

What we collect

  • Public research — information from websites, professional profiles, interviews and other public sources. We keep source material and links to support the profiles we write.
  • Recommendations — names, public links, contact details and context provided by someone suggesting a person for Glimpse.
  • Information you provide — your email address, messages, correction requests and any photos, links or other material you submit.
  • Technical information — our hosting and service providers may record information such as IP addresses, browser details and request logs to operate and protect the service.

How we use your information

  • To research, write, illustrate and publish profiles.
  • To contact people about their profile or a recommendation, and provide private access.
  • To respond to messages, corrections and removal requests.
  • To improve Glimpse, keep records of editorial changes and protect the service from misuse.

Being featured or recommending someone does not subscribe you to Coached, Resume Worded or their newsletters.

What’s public and what’s private

Published profiles and their illustrations are public. They can appear in search engines and be shared by other people. A profile may credit the person who recommended its subject under “Noticed by”.

Email addresses supplied for contact or access, private messages and editorial records are not displayed on the public profile. Material you submit for publication may be used to update your profile; sending a correction or a message does not automatically publish it.

If you recommend someone, we may tell them who recommended them and show you the status of their profile.

Services we use

We use AI services, including OpenAI, and other service providers to help create profiles and run Glimpse. Relevant information is shared with these providers as part of providing the service. They may process information outside the country where you live.

We do not sell personal information or share it with advertisers.

Cookies and browser storage

We use cookies to keep you signed in to private pages, and browser storage to remember navigation or unfinished forms. We do not change our practices in response to browser “Do Not Track” signals.

We use Google Analytics on our public pages to understand visits and readership. Google receives information about the pages you visit, your browser and device, and processes your IP address to derive approximate location. Analytics cookies help distinguish visits. We do not send email addresses, private access tokens or form contents, and we disable advertising features. Our private editorial tools, account pages and draft previews do not load Google Analytics.

Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

You can clear or block cookies and browser storage in your browser settings, though this may affect sign-in and other features.

How long we keep information

We keep profiles, research, earlier versions and correspondence to support publication, corrections and the operation of Glimpse. Taking a profile offline does not automatically delete those records or backup copies.

You can contact us to request deletion of your information. We may need to retain limited records to honour an email opt-out, prevent misuse or meet legal obligations. Copies already shared or cached by other sites are outside our direct control.

Your choices

  • You can request a correction, take your profile offline or stop further profile emails through your private access page.
  • You can still request a sign-in email after opting out of further profile emails.
  • You can ask what information we hold about you, or request correction or deletion, by contacting us. We may need to verify that the request relates to you.
