Your IP address. This is a 12-digit number that reveals your approximate location, often down to your suburb, as well as the name of your internet or mobile provider. Sometimes it is possible to identify your employer or school using the IP address.
The date and time of the download.

We do not receive any personally identifiable information from your download: We do not know who you are. Your household, school, or employer all use the same IP address, and this changes frequently. so you can’t determine someone’s name or address based on their IP address alone.

Even though this data is not personally identifiable, we do not share it with our publishers. Instead, we provide them with analytics that include total downloads, geographic location (e.g. State or country) and device categories. They cannot see your IP address or any other personal details about you.
Even if it is not personal data, we do not share our raw data with third parties. While we need the raw data for analysis, fraud detection, and other purposes, we delete it as quickly as possible. possible and always within 26 months of download.

It is up to our publishers whether they use these services: we do not control these services. We actively engage with the industry, to ensure best practices. We encourage all our publishers to use “full transparency mode,” where we automatically include every service they use in the podcast episode notes. and link directly to their privacy policies.
Regardless of the app you use to listen to the podcast, your playback data may also be collected by that app, and you should check the privacy policy of the podcast app you use.
