Information We Collect

When you use Podyap, we collect and process the following information:

  • Spotify podcast episode URLs that you provide
  • AI-generated summaries and transcripts of episodes you process
  • Chat messages and interactions with our AI system
  • SMS messages you send to +18084606693, including your phone number and the episode links you provide
  • Basic usage analytics to improve our service via Google Analytics 4 (page views, navigation patterns, and anonymized event data)

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

  • Generate AI summaries and transcripts of podcast episodes
  • Provide interactive chat functionality with episode content
  • Reply to SMS requests with the link to your episode summary
  • Improve our AI models and service quality
  • Maintain and optimize our platform performance

Data Storage and Security

Your data is securely stored in our database and processed using industry-standard security measures. We do not share your personal information with third parties except as necessary to provide our services (such as AI processing through Google's Gemini API).

SMS Communications

When you text a podcast episode to +18084606693, we collect your phone number and the message content to deliver a single response with your summary link. We do not use your phone number for marketing and we only retain SMS content as long as needed to fulfill the request, troubleshoot delivery issues, or comply with applicable laws and carrier requirements.

Analytics and Cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use Podyap. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as page views, navigation patterns, and approximate location derived from IP addresses. This data helps us improve product performance and prioritize new features. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-onor by adjusting your browser settings to refuse analytics cookies.

Third-Party Services

Podyap integrates with third-party services including Spotify (for episode metadata), Podscan (for transcript extraction), Google Analytics (for usage analytics), and Google Gemini (for AI processing). These services have their own privacy policies which govern their data handling practices.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, modify, or delete your data. Since we currently do not require user accounts, episodes you process are accessible via their unique URLs. If you need assistance with data removal, please contact us.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
