1. Scope

This Policy applies to information collected through our websites (if any), podcast feeds and pages, YouTube channels, email newsletters, forms, and communications (e.g., when you contact us). Third-party platforms (such as YouTube/Google, podcast hosting platforms, and social networks) also collect information under their own privacy policies, which we do not control.

2. Information We Collect

• Information you provide: such as your name, email address, message content, and any other information you submit when you contact us, sign up for a newsletter, enter a giveaway, respond to surveys, or participate in community features.
• Account and platform information: if you interact with us via third-party platforms (e.g., YouTube comments), we may see information associated with your public profile (such as your display name and profile link) as provided by that platform.
• Usage data: such as pages or content viewed, video watch information, podcast episode interactions, referral URLs, approximate location (derived from IP), and timestamps.
• Device and network data: such as IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, and language settings.
• Cookies and similar technologies: if we operate a website or use analytics/advertising tools, we (or our providers) may use cookies, pixels, SDKs, and similar technologies.

3. How We Use Information

• To provide, operate, and improve the Services (e.g., by creating and distributing podcast episodes and videos).
• To communicate with you, including responding to inquiries and sending updates you request (e.g., newsletters).
• To understand audience engagement and measure performance (e.g., analytics about downloads, listens, and watch time).
• To personalize content and recommendations where supported (for example, through platform settings or marketing tools).
• To run promotions, giveaways, surveys, or other audience activities (if offered), and administer entries.
• To detect, prevent, and address fraud, security issues, abuse, and violations of our policies.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our rights.

4. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK and Similar Regions)

Where required by applicable law, we process personal information under one or more of the following legal bases: (a) your consent; (b) performance of a contract (e.g., providing a requested service); (c) our legitimate interests (e.g., improving our content, maintaining security, and understanding audience engagement), balanced against your rights; and (d) compliance with legal obligations.

5. How We Share Information

• Service providers: we may share information with vendors that help us operate the Services (e.g., email newsletter providers, analytics providers, website hosting, customer support tools).
• Platform partners: our content is distributed via third-party platforms (e.g., YouTube, podcast directories/players, podcast hosting). These platforms process information under their own policies.
• Legal and safety reasons: we may disclose information if we believe it is necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights and safety, or prevent fraud/abuse.
• Business transfers: if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
• With your direction: we may share information when you ask us to or otherwise consent.

6. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

If we operate a website or use tracking technologies, we and our partners may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, understand how you use our website, and measure marketing effectiveness. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through consent tools on our site.

Our YouTube content may include advertising provided by YouTube/Google and may use YouTube analytics features. Podcast listening apps, podcast hosts, and advertisers may also use their own measurement technologies. We do not control third-party tracking, and you should review the privacy policies and settings of the platforms you use.

7. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content

Our Services may include links to third-party sites, integrations, or embedded players (for example, YouTube embeds, podcast players, or social posts). Interacting with those features may allow third parties to collect information about you. Their use of your information is governed by their privacy policies, not ours.

8. Email, Newsletters, and Marketing Communications

If you subscribe to our newsletter or other updates, we may send you emails about new episodes/videos, announcements, and related content. You can unsubscribe at any time by using the link in our emails or by contacting us at the address below. We may also send non-promotional messages when necessary (for example, to respond to you or provide important Service-related updates).

9. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to request access, correction, deletion, or portability, and to object to or restrict certain processing.

• Opt out of marketing emails: use the unsubscribe link in our emails.
• Cookies/tracking controls: adjust your browser settings and, where available, cookie consent controls.
• YouTube privacy controls: manage ad personalization and other privacy settings within your Google/YouTube account.
• Podcast app controls: review the privacy settings in your podcast app and on your device.
• Submitting requests: contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your request before completing it.

California and other U.S. state privacy disclosures: We do not sell personal information for money. If our use of certain analytics or advertising tools is considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under applicable law, you may have the right to opt out. Where required, we will provide a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” mechanism on our website or honor opt-out preference signals as applicable.

10. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under the age defined by local law). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (for example, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements).

12. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. International Data Transfers

If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other countries where our service providers or we operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will revise the “Effective date” at the top when we do. If changes are material, we will take additional steps as required by applicable law (such as providing notice on our website or through our channels).
