Podify understands the importance of privacy and protecting your personal information. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect, use, and store your data. This Privacy Policy outlines the legal requirements, your rights as an individual, and our data practices.

Legal Requirements

Podify may disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect and defend our rights or property, act in urgent circumstances to protect personal safety, or protect against legal liability.

Scope for EU Individuals

This section specifically applies to individuals in the European Union (including the European Economic Area countries of Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway, and Switzerland). Our Privacy Policy explains why and how Podify collects, uses, and stores your Personal Data, the lawful basis for processing, and your rights and our obligations.

Data Controller

Podify is the data controller for processing your Personal Data. As the data controller, we are responsible for determining how your Personal Data is used. To contact us, please refer to the "Contact Us" section below, which also provides the contact details of our EU representative for General Data Protection Regulation purposes.

1. Right of access: You can request information about whether we are processing your Personal Data and obtain a copy of that data, along with other relevant details.
2. Right to rectification: If your Personal Data is incorrect or incomplete, you may request its correction or completion. We will also notify third parties if we have shared your data and inform you of the recipients.
3. Right to erasure: You can ask us to delete or remove your Personal Data, such as when you withdraw consent. If we have shared your data with others, we will notify them of the erasure if possible.
4. Right to restrict processing: In certain situations, you can request the restriction or "blocking" of processing your Personal Data. We will inform you before lifting any restrictions and notify third parties if applicable.
5. Right to data portability: You have the right to receive your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and you can request its transfer to another organization.
6. Right to object: You may object to the processing of your Personal Data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
7. Rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling: You are entitled to be free from automated decisions that significantly affect you, unless necessary for a contract or with explicit consent. We currently do not perform such automated decision-making with your Personal Data.
8. Right to withdraw consent: If we rely on your consent to process your Personal Data, you can withdraw your consent at any time.
9. Right to lodge a complaint: If you have concerns about our privacy practices, you can file a complaint with the relevant data protection authority.

Legitimate Interest

Podify processes your Personal Data based on legitimate interests, which enable us to conduct and manage our organization and provide the best services to you. We will not use your data if the impact on you outweighs our interests, unless we have your consent or it is needed/permitted by law. You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests.

Data Transfers

When transferring your Personal Data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we take steps to ensure an adequate level of protection and uphold your rights.

Data Retention

We retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and processed. This includes legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting obligations. If you have opted in to receive marketing messages, we retain your marketing preferences until you opt out.

Your Choices

You have the choice to access our services without providing any Personal Data. However, certain parts of the service may be inaccessible if you choose not to contribute Personal Data.

Exclusions

This Privacy Policy does not apply to any Personal Data collected by Podify other than through the service. It also does not cover unsolicited information you provide or any unsolicited submissions. Unsolicited Information is deemed non-confidential, and Podify may use, disclose, distribute, and exploit it without limitation or attribution.

Children

Podify does not collect Personal Data from minors under the age of 18. Parents and legal guardians are encouraged to monitor their children's online activities and educate them not to share Personal Data without consent. If you suspect that a child under the age of 18 has provided Personal Data to Podify, please contact us, and we will make reasonable efforts to remove the information from our databases.

Security

Podify takes reasonable precautions to secure your Personal Data against loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or destruction. However, no electronic transfer is entirely safe or error-free, so caution should be exercised when sharing information with us.

Changes to Podify's Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time due to changes in our service or operations. It is recommended to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the service signifies your acceptance of any amended Privacy Policy.
