Privacy Policy

When you use our Services, we may collect the following types of information: Account Information: To provide the podcast generation service, you may need to create an account. This could include your name, email address, and authentication credentials. Source Preferences: We collect information about the newsletters, RSS feeds, or text sources you select for podcast generation to deliver personalized audio content to you. Device & Usage Data: We collect standard information about how you interact with our applications, such as device type, IP address, operating system, and usage patterns to maintain and improve the Services.

We use the information we collect to: • Provide, operate, and maintain the X-Pods service. • Process text from the sources you select specifically to generate audio for your daily podcast. • Improve, personalize, and expand our Services. • Understand and analyze how you use our Services to improve user experience. • Communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, including for customer service, to provide you with updates and other information relating to the Services. • Detect and prevent fraudulent activities.

As mentioned in our Terms of Service, our core functionality involves converting text into audio. Please note that WE DO NOT STORE THE ORIGINAL ENTIRE CONTENT of the newsletters, RSS feeds, or texts you import. We process the content only temporarily to generate the audio, after which the original raw text is discarded.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the following situations: • With Service Providers: To trusted third-party service providers (like Cloud Hosting or Text-to-Speech API providers) who assist us in operating our Services, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency). • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, user information may be part of the transferred assets.

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our Services and for legitimate and essential business purposes.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to: • Access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you. • Object to or restrict the processing of your personal data. • Request portability of your personal information. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by X-Pods (including the original sources of your selected content). We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party sites or services.

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the date of this Privacy Policy and posting it on our website. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

If you have any questions or suggestions about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us.
