Privacy Policy

Our privacy policy and how we use your data

1. Information We Collect

When you use Podcas, we may collect the following information:

  • Personal Information:
    • Google Account Information: When you sign up or log in using your Google account, we collect your primary email address and basic profile information such as your name and profile picture. This is facilitated through Google OAuth scopes including:
      • openid: Associates you with your personal info on Google.
      • profile: Allows us to see your personal info, including any personal info you've made publicly available.
      • email: Permits access to your primary Google Account email address.
  • Usage Data: Including interactions with the app, analytics data, and device information.
  • User-Generated Content: Including podcast scripts, audio files, and preferences.

2. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used to:

  • Provide, improve, and personalize our services.
  • Authenticate and manage user accounts using Google OAuth and Supabase.
  • Process payments for paid plans securely.
  • Monitor app usage through analytics tools like PostHog and Google Analytics.
  • Enforce our Terms of Service and prevent misuse of the app.

3. Authentication and Account Management

We use Google OAuth for user authentication, allowing you to sign in securely with your Google account. The OAuth scopes we request (openid, profile, email) enable us to:

  • Identify You: Associate your account with your Google identity (openid).
  • Personalize Your Experience: Access your name and profile picture to customize your user interface (profile).
  • Communicate Effectively: Use your email address for account-related communications (email).

We only access the minimum necessary information required for authentication and do not collect any additional data from your Google account.

4. Public and Private Content

By default, podcasts generated by free users are always public and accessible to anyone. Paid plan users have the option to switch their podcasts between public and private visibility.

Public podcasts may be featured in our public directories or promotional materials. If you are a free user, generating a podcast on Podcas indicates your agreement to its public status.

5. Copyright and Intellectual Property

Paid plan users retain full copyright ownership of their generated podcasts. As the copyright owner, you may use, share, and distribute your content freely.

For free users, while the generated podcasts are public, no other user (except the owner) is allowed to reuse, resell, or distribute your content in any form without explicit permission.

6. Data Storage and Security

We use secure services, including Supabase, to store your data, ensuring compliance with industry standards. Supabase handles our database management, authentication, and background processes. While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of data transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Third-Party Services

Podcas utilizes third-party services to enhance functionality and user experience:

  • Supabase: For data storage, authentication, and background processes. Supabase securely stores your personal information and user-generated content.
  • Google OAuth: For user authentication. Google may collect data in accordance with their Privacy Policy.
  • Analytics Tools: Such as PostHog and Google Analytics, which collect data about your interactions with the app to help us improve our services.

These services may collect data in accordance with their respective privacy policies.

8. Your Rights

As a user, you have the right to access, update, or delete your personal data. Paid users can also manage the visibility of their podcasts. For assistance, please contact our support team.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. If changes are made, we will notify you through the app or by email. Please review this policy regularly to stay informed.
