Privacy Policy

👋 1. Introduction

Welcome to TT4Cast ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our podcast streaming application handles information when you use our app.

📊 2. Information We Collect

We do NOT collect:

• Personal identification information (name, email, phone number)
• Location data
• Device identifiers for tracking purposes
• Usage analytics or behavioral data
• Any data that could identify you personally

Local Storage Only:

• Your podcast follows (stored only on your device)
• Listening history (stored only on your device)
• App preferences and settings (stored only on your device)

💾 3. How Your Data is Stored

All user data (followed podcasts, listening history, preferences) is stored locally on your device only. We do not have servers that store your personal information.

This means:

• Your data stays on your device
• Uninstalling the app removes all local data
• We cannot access or recover your data
• Your listening habits remain private

🌐 4. Third-Party Services

TT4Cast uses the following third-party APIs to provide podcast content:

• iTunes Search API (Apple) - For searching and discovering podcasts
• Podcast Index API - For additional podcast database access

These services have their own privacy policies. When you search for or stream podcasts, these services may receive:

• Search queries you enter
• Your IP address (standard for any internet request)

We recommend reviewing their privacy policies:

• Apple Privacy Policy: apple.com/privacy
• Podcast Index: podcastindex.org

📱 5. Permissions

TT4Cast requests the following Android permissions:

• INTERNET - Required to stream podcasts and search for content
• FOREGROUND_SERVICE - Required for background audio playback
• WAKE_LOCK - Keeps the device awake during audio playback

We do not request permissions for contacts, camera, microphone, location, or storage beyond what's necessary for the app to function.

👶 6. Children's Privacy

TT4Cast is a general-audience app and does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Since we don't collect personal data, there is no children's data to protect.

🔐 7. Data Security

Since we don't collect or transmit personal data to our servers, the security of your information depends on your device's security. We recommend:

• Keeping your device software updated
• Using device lock features (PIN, fingerprint, etc.)
• Only downloading apps from official sources (Google Play)

⚖️ 8. Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, traditional data rights (access, deletion, portability) are handled differently:

• Access: All your data is already on your device
• Deletion: Uninstall the app to remove all local data, or clear app data in device settings
• Portability: Data is stored locally and isn't transferred

📝 9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected with a new "Last Updated" date at the bottom of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
