txtpod Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how txtpod collects, uses, and protects information when you use the app and its related services. txtpod only accesses data needed to provide app features, purchases, analytics, crash reporting, account sync, and optional integrations you choose to enable. If a feature requires access to Apple services or device permissions, txtpod only uses that data after you grant permission.

Shared data

txtpod uses RevenueCat to collect anonymous device and purchase data so the app can determine whether a user has previously bought products inside the app and provide the correct access.

txtpod also collects analytics and crash reports to understand which features are used and where the app is breaking. Crash reporting is handled through Sentry. This data is aggregated only, never sold, and never shared with third parties for advertising or data brokerage.

AI processing

txtpod uses Google's AI services to turn your content into audio. When you create an episode, the text you add (articles, pasted text, PDFs, news topics and Explore prompts) is sent from txtpod's servers to Google Gemini, which writes the episode script, titles and cover images, and to Google Cloud Text-to-Speech, which reads the script aloud.

txtpod sends only the content needed to create the episode, not your name or email address. Google processes it under the Gemini API terms and the Google Cloud data processing terms. If you don't want a piece of content processed this way, don't add it to txtpod.

Account and app data

txtpod stores information needed to run your account in Google Cloud. This can include your profile information, podcast settings, generated podcast episodes, saved article and episode metadata, and news preferences.

You can permanently delete your account and associated txtpod data from the app. When you delete your account, txtpod deletes the profile, podcast episodes, generated content, and saved preferences tied to that account.
