Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 July 2026

BondCasts is built to respect your privacy. In short: it does not track you, does not show ads, and does not sell your data to anyone.

Data we don't collect

BondCasts has no analytics SDKs, no advertising identifiers, and no third-party tracking. We do not operate a server that receives your listening history, subscriptions, or personal information.

Data Apple collects as the platform

Because BondCasts is distributed through the App Store and runs on Apple's platforms, Apple collects standard information such as App Store download and purchase metrics, and — only if you opt in to sharing with developers — aggregate crash and usage analytics. This collection is performed by Apple under Apple's privacy policy, not by us, and we only ever see anonymized, aggregate reports.

Data stored on your device and in iCloud

Your subscriptions, queue, playback positions, downloads, and settings are stored on your device. If you are signed in to iCloud and have the feature enabled, this data syncs across your devices using Apple's iCloud (CloudKit) in your own private iCloud account. This data is not accessible to us — it stays within Apple's infrastructure under your account.

Podcast content

When you subscribe to or play a podcast, the app fetches the show's RSS feed and media files directly from the podcast host you chose. Those third-party hosts may receive your device's IP address and standard request information as part of delivering that content, subject to their own privacy policies.

Transcripts and on-device features

Any transcription and audio-processing features run on your device using Apple frameworks. Audio is not uploaded to us for processing.
