PodScout ("PodScout," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how PodScout collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the PodScout mobile application.
PodScout is designed to provide podcast discovery, library, and playback features without requiring you to create an account.
PodScout may collect or store the following categories of information in order to operate:
This information is currently stored locally on your device using system storage.
To provide podcast discovery and playback features, PodScout requests podcast-related data from third-party sources, which may include:
These requests may include standard technical request data such as your IP address and device or network information as part of normal internet communications between your device and those third-party services.
If you enable notifications, PodScout may schedule:
At this time, these alerts are designed as local notifications on your device. PodScout does not currently rely on a PodScout account to deliver these core alerts.
PodScout uses the preferences, saves, followed shows, and listening activity available on your device to shape discovery sections and recommendations inside the app.
If you choose reduced personalization, PodScout limits how strongly those personal signals are used in recommendations.
PodScout does not currently require you to create a PodScout account to use the core app experience.
We do not currently sell your personal information.
We do not currently operate a user account system that shares your profile or library with other users.
However, PodScout necessarily connects to third-party services to retrieve podcast content and related assets. As a result, those services may receive technical request information from your device when content is loaded, such as:
PodScout may also open external links you choose to use, including third-party podcast platforms and websites. Your interactions with those third parties are governed by their own privacy policies.
PodScout currently stores core preference and app-state data locally on your device. This may include:
This data remains on your device unless removed by app deletion, device cleanup, or future in-app reset or clear actions where available.
PodScout may request permission to send notifications. If you decline, notification-based features may not function.
The app may also refresh podcast information or playback-related content as needed to support app features. PodScout's notification features are currently intended to support on-device reminders and alerts rather than a full account-based messaging system.
PodScout is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through an account-registration system or similar direct submission flow.
If you believe a child has provided us personal information in another way, please contact us so we can review the situation.
We use reasonable measures appropriate to the app's design to protect information handled by PodScout. However, no method of electronic storage or internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You can control certain privacy-related behaviors by:
PodScout may rely on third-party services and content sources, including podcast directories, RSS hosts, artwork hosts, audio hosts, and external listening platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. You should review their privacy policies separately where relevant.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the Effective Date above and may provide additional notice inside the app or through other appropriate channels.
