The small print, written plainly.

Podcast Connect Inc. ("Podcast Connect", "we", "our") operates the Podcast Connect matching network at podcastconnect.in. This page summarizes the legal agreements that govern your use of the platform. By creating an account you accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy in full.

We collect account information you provide (name, email, podcast metadata), authentication events, usage analytics, and the content of on-platform messages for safety and matching quality. We do not sell personal data. We do not train third-party models on your messages.

Data is used to (a) match hosts with guests, (b) operate the platform, (c) protect against abuse, and (d) communicate product updates you have opted into. Matching uses on-platform signals - your podcast metadata, rating history, and topical preferences.

We share data with (i) subprocessors who help us run the service (hosting, email, analytics) under data processing agreements, (ii) law enforcement when legally required, and (iii) parties you explicitly authorize via platform actions. To request our current list of subprocessors, email podcastconnect.in@gmail.com.

Account data is retained while your account is active. Upon account deletion, personal data is removed within 30 days except where retention is required by law (tax, fraud, audit). Aggregated, non-identifiable data may be retained indefinitely for platform analytics.

You may access, correct, export, or delete your personal data at any time. EU/UK residents have additional rights under GDPR. California residents have rights under CCPA/CPRA. Email podcastconnect.in@gmail.com for any rights request - we respond within 30 days.

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS) and access controls that limit who can reach personal data. In the event of a breach affecting personal data we will notify affected users without undue delay.

We use strictly-necessary cookies for authentication and session state, and opt-in analytics cookies for product improvement. We do not use advertising cookies. Visitors from the EU/UK see a full consent banner on first visit.

Podcast Connect is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has created an account, contact podcastconnect.in@gmail.com so we can verify and remove it.

Material changes to this policy are announced 30 days in advance by email and in-app banner. To request the revision history, email podcastconnect.in@gmail.com.

For any privacy questions, legal notices, or data protection requests, email podcastconnect.in@gmail.com and we will route it to the right person.
