Data Stored on Device

talkradio stores podcast subscriptions, episode metadata, queue state, archive state, downloads, thumbnail cache, playback settings, onboarding state, and local analytics on your device.

Apple Music

If you choose to connect Apple Music, talkradio asks for access to your Apple Music library so you can select a playlist for playback between podcast episodes. Apple Music access is handled by Apple's frameworks and your Apple Account settings.

Podcast Feeds and Apple Podcasts Search

When you add or refresh a podcast, talkradio connects to the RSS feed URL you provide or the RSS feed resolved from an Apple Podcasts link. Podcast metadata, artwork, and audio files may be hosted by third-party podcast providers.

When you search Apple Podcasts or browse top shows, your search request is sent to Apple's lookup/search services.

Analytics

If an analytics endpoint is configured, talkradio can send an anonymous install ID, event name, event time, app version, build number, platform, and aggregate-safe event properties. These events are used to understand product health and subscription conversion.

Data Sharing

talkradio does not sell personal data. talkradio does not use third-party advertising SDKs.
