Introduction
Podify.Chat ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our service.
Information We Collect
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your email address and any profile information you choose to provide.
Chat Data
We store your chat messages with AI podcast hosts to improve our service and provide you with conversation history. Chat messages may be used to analyze common questions and improve the AI responses.
Usage Data
We collect anonymous usage data including pages visited, features used, and general interaction patterns. We use hashed IP addresses for analytics purposes - we do not store your actual IP address.
Session Data
For users who don't create an account, we use session identifiers stored in your browser to enable features like chat history during your visit.
How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain our service
- To personalize your experience
- To analyze usage patterns and improve our AI responses
- To communicate with you about service updates
- To detect and prevent fraud or abuse
AI-Generated Content Disclaimer
Important: The AI chat feature simulates conversations with podcast hosts but is not the actual podcast host. AI-generated responses:
- May contain inaccuracies or errors
- Should not be considered factual statements by the podcast host
- Are based on transcriptions and may misrepresent the host's views
- Should not be used as a primary source for important decisions
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share anonymized, aggregated data with podcast hosts to help them understand audience interests. We use third-party services (such as Supabase for authentication and database, OpenAI for AI processing, and AssemblyAI for transcription) which have their own privacy policies.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access your personal data
- Request deletion of your account and associated data
- Opt out of non-essential communications
Cookies
We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. We use localStorage for features like free message tracking. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
Children's Privacy
Our service is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
