Privacy Policy for StoryPlaylist

Effective Date: August 9, 2026

Summary

StoryPlaylist does not collect, store, transmit, sell, or share any personal information. All app data — your followed podcasts, playlists, playback position, and downloaded episodes — is stored locally on your device.

Information Collected

None. StoryPlaylist does not operate any servers, accounts, analytics, advertising SDKs, or tracking technologies. The developer has no access to your usage data, listening history, library contents, or device identifiers.

Data Stored on Your Device

The following information is stored locally on your device and never leaves it through StoryPlaylist:

  • Podcasts you follow
  • Playlists and their contents
  • Playback positions and history
  • Downloaded episode audio files
  • App preferences

This data is removed when you delete the app.

Third-Party Services

To provide its core functionality, StoryPlaylist makes network requests to third parties. These third parties may log your IP address and request metadata according to their own privacy policies. The developer does not receive or have access to this data.

  • Apple iTunes Search API — used when you search for podcasts. Your search query is sent to Apple. See Apple’s Privacy Policy.
  • Podcast RSS feeds and audio hosts — used to fetch episode lists and download/stream audio. Requests go directly to the podcast publisher’s hosting provider. Each podcast publisher has its own privacy practices.
  • Podcast artwork hosts — image URLs referenced by RSS feeds are fetched directly from the host specified by the publisher.

Apple-Provided Diagnostics

If you have enabled “Share With App Developers” in iOS Settings (Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements), Apple may share anonymized, aggregated crash reports and usage statistics with the developer through App Store Connect. This sharing is controlled by Apple and by you, not by StoryPlaylist. The developer receives no personally identifying information through this channel. You can disable this at any time in iOS Settings.

StoryPlaylist itself does not integrate any analytics, crash reporting, or telemetry SDK.

Children’s Privacy

StoryPlaylist does not collect any information from anyone, including children under 13.

Permissions

StoryPlaylist requests no system permissions beyond standard network access required to fetch podcast feeds and audio.

Data Retention and Deletion

All app data lives on your device. To delete it, uninstall the app. There is no server-side data to request, export, or delete.

Your Rights

The developer collects and stores no personal data, so there is nothing to access, correct, export, or delete under GDPR, CCPA, or similar regulations. For data handled by the third parties listed above, contact those parties directly.
