Privacy Policy

For the Podlore iOS app · Last updated June 14, 2026

The short version: Podlore has no user accounts and stores no personal profile about you. We don't sell your data. The topics you enter are sent to AI services only to generate your episode, and we collect anonymous, aggregate usage analytics to improve the app.

Who we are

Podlore is an iOS app developed by Slow and Steady Apps ("we," "us"). This policy explains what information the app handles and why. If you have questions, contact us at podlore@outlook.com.

Information we handle

Topics you enter

When you generate an episode, the topic text and duration you choose are transmitted to our backend service and on to third-party AI providers (see below) to write a script and produce audio. We do not use your topics to build a profile of you, and we do not associate them with your identity.

Subscription status

Podlore offers an auto-renewing subscription purchased through Apple's App Store. Apple processes your payment — we never receive or store your name, card, or billing details. Our backend receives only a cryptographically signed token from Apple confirming that an active subscription exists, which is used to authorize episode generation.

Anonymous usage analytics

We collect anonymous, aggregated analytics about how the app is used — for example, that an episode was generated or a sample was played, and how long generation took. These events are not tied to your name, account, or device identity and are used only to understand and improve the app.

What we do not collect

No account, email, name, or password (the app has no sign-in).
No contacts, photos, location, or health data.
No advertising identifiers, and we do not run third-party ads.

Third-party services

To generate episodes and run the app, your topic and/or anonymous usage data may be processed by the following providers, each under their own privacy terms:

Anthropic — generates the episode script from your topic.
Google Cloud / Google text-to-speech — converts the script to spoken audio.
Cloudflare — hosts the backend service that routes generation requests.
Apple — processes subscription purchases and payments.
Our analytics provider — receives anonymous usage events.

Data retention

Generated episodes are produced on demand and are not stored in a user account. We retain only what is needed to operate the service and understand anonymous usage trends. We do not maintain a database of users or their topics tied to personal identity.

Children

Podlore is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your choices

You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple ID settings. You can stop all data processing by deleting the app.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
