This Privacy Policy explains how Daedally (“Podcust”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data when you use the Podcust website and service (the “Service”). For the purposes of the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the data controller is Daedally. Our registered business address is available on request by contacting us at the email below.
The Service is intended only for adults aged 18 or older. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you are under 18, do not use the Service or provide any information to us. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a person under 18, we will delete that data and close the account. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, contact us at mail@amoshaviv.com.
We collect the following categories of personal data:
To generate episodes, the topics and prompts you submit are sent to third-party artificial-intelligence providers: Google (Gemini models) for research and script generation, and ElevenLabs for text-to-speech audio, with OpenAI as a fallback text-to-speech provider. These providers process your inputs on our behalf to return generated content. Do not submit sensitive personal data or confidential information in episode topics or prompts.
Where the GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases: performance of our contract with you (to provide the Service and process payments); your consent (for analytics and non-essential cookies, and optional marketing communications); our legitimate interests (to secure, maintain, and improve the Service and prevent abuse), balanced against your rights; and compliance with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal data. We share data with service providers that process it on our behalf under contract, including:
We may also disclose data where required by law, to enforce our terms, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a corporate transaction such as a merger or acquisition. Content you make public (such as published episodes and profile information) is visible to others and may be reshared within the Service.
We and our service providers may process your data in the United States and other countries. Where we transfer personal data out of the EEA or UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Contact us for more information about these safeguards. [CONFIRM TRANSFER MECHANISM WITH COUNSEL]
We retain personal data for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service, and thereafter only as required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize associated personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is legally required (for example, payment and tax records). [CONFIRM RETENTION PERIODS WITH COUNSEL]
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, export, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing. EU and UK users have the right to lodge a complaint with their local data protection supervisory authority. To exercise any right, contact mail@amoshaviv.com. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.
We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data, including hashing of account passwords and encrypted transport. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version with a revised “Last updated” date and, where required, provide additional notice.
