Privacy Policy

What we collect

TalkPod collects the minimum data necessary to provide the service: your account information (email, display name via Clerk authentication), podcast subscriptions, listening activity, and engagement data (reactions, voice interactions, notes).

We process podcast audio through AI to generate transcriptions, summaries, entity extraction, and smart chapters. This processing happens on our servers and the results are stored to improve your listening experience.

How we use your data

Your data is used to power the TalkPod experience: personalised recommendations, AI-powered episode insights, voice interaction history, and engagement analytics for podcast creators. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

Podcast data

TalkPod ingests podcasts via public RSS feeds. Episode audio is processed for transcription and AI analysis. We respect podcast creators' rights and provide tools for creators to claim and manage their shows on the platform.

Authentication

We use Clerk for authentication. Your login credentials are managed securely by Clerk and are not stored on our servers. Please refer to Clerk's privacy policy for details on how they handle authentication data.

Data retention

Your account data is retained as long as your account is active. You can request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us. Anonymised, aggregated engagement data may be retained for analytics purposes.
