Privacy Policy: Simple, Transparent, Secure!
We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information.
Welcome to Our Privacy Policy
At podcast4.me, we take your privacy seriously. This policy outlines what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your data. We've designed this document to be clear and straightforward, avoiding complicated legal jargon wherever possible.
We believe in transparency and want you to feel confident about how your information is handled when you use our AI-powered podcast clip creation platform.
Information We Collect
When you use podcast4.me, we collect information that falls into two categories: information you provide directly and information collected automatically through your use of our service.
Information you provide includes account details (name, email, password), payment information, and the podcast content you upload for processing. Automatically collected information includes usage data, device information, and analytics that help us improve our service.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to provide and improve our services, process your transactions, communicate with you about your account, and personalize your experience. Your podcast content is processed by our AI systems solely to create the clips you request.
We never sell your personal information to third parties. Any data sharing is limited to what's necessary to provide our services, such as payment processing or cloud storage providers who are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
How We Protect Your Data
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encryption, secure servers, regular security assessments, and strict access controls for our staff.
While we take significant steps to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We continuously update our security practices to provide the best protection possible.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. Your account information is kept until you delete your account, while podcast content and generated clips are stored according to your subscription terms.
You can request deletion of your data at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team. We'll respond to your request within 30 days.
Cookies and Tracking
podcast4.me uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience, remember your preferences, and analyze how our service is used. These technologies help us understand which features are most valuable and identify areas for improvement.
You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. However, disabling certain cookies may limit your ability to use some features of our platform. We do not use cookies for advertising purposes or to track your activity across third-party websites.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your data, as well as the right to data portability and to withdraw consent.
For users in the European Economic Area, UK, or California, additional protections apply under the GDPR and CCPA/CPRA. We honor these rights regardless of where you're located and strive to respond to all requests promptly.
Managing Your Preferences
You can update your account information and communication preferences at any time through your account settings. You may opt out of non-essential communications while still receiving important service announcements and account-related notifications.
For content you upload, you maintain control over how long we store it and can delete it at any time. If you have questions about managing your privacy settings, our support team is available to assist you.
Policy Updates
We may update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you via email or through a notice on our website before the changes take effect.
We encourage you to review our privacy policy regularly. If you continue to use podcast4.me after policy changes, you accept the updated terms. If you have questions or concerns about our privacy practices, please contact us at [email protected].
