Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Thank you for choosing Podwise! Protecting your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information through the Podwise website, mobile application, and related services (collectively, the "Services").

Information We Collect

We only collect personal information that is necessary for providing the Services. The categories of information we collect can include:

  • Account information: We collect information such as your name, email address, and password when you create a Podwise account.
  • Usage information: We collect information about how you interact with the Services, such as podcasts summarized, summaries generated, account preferences, and features used.
  • Device information: We may collect information about the device and software you use to access the Services, such as IP address, browser type, operating system version, and app version.
  • Public podcast audio: Podwise may temporarily access the audio of publicly available podcast episodes to create transcripts, summaries, and other AI-generated results. Podwise does not retain copies of the original audio files for public podcast episodes. We may retain the transcripts and other generated results to provide the Services.
  • Uploaded audio: Audio files that you upload to Podwise are stored so that we can provide transcription and related features. You can delete your uploaded audio files from your Podwise account.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Services
  • Create and deliver podcast summaries to you
  • Communicate with you, such as by sending you announcements and notifications
  • Understand usage trends to analyze and improve the Services
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We only disclose information with third parties to provide and improve the Services, comply with legal obligations, and protect rights and safety.

Your Choices

You may access, download, and delete your Podwise account information at any time. You may also choose to have your account deactivated.

You can delete audio files that you uploaded to Podwise from your account. Deleting an uploaded audio file removes it from the Services, subject to any limited retention required for security, legal, or backup purposes.

Podcast Owner Requests

If you are a podcast owner or an authorized representative, you may ask Podwise to prevent your podcast or specific episodes from being processed by the Services. We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your authority before applying the restriction. To submit a request, contact [email protected] and identify the podcast or episodes concerned.

Our Commitment to Security

We employ appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information. Data is stored in secured facilities and transmitted using encryption. While we work hard to protect your privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of all transmitted information.

Changes to this Policy

We may occasionally update this Policy to comply with laws and reflect improvements to our Services. Please check the Policy each time you use Podwise to stay updated.
