What we collect, and why.
What we store per permalink
When you paste a URL: the source URL, the resolved canonical episode/show metadata (title, artwork URL, duration, published date, description), and the cross-platform URLs we resolved. That's it.
What we don't collect
We don't require accounts. We don't associate permalinks with your identity. We don't sell or share your data.
Analytics
We use PostHog to understand aggregate usage — which pages are visited, which platforms users prefer, and where the product breaks. PostHog may set a first-party cookie and process anonymized identifiers (device-level, not personal). We do not link analytics events to permalink content.
Permalink visit counts
We count views of each permalink in our own database, so we can see which links are actually being opened. A view stores the time, the referring site's domain (not the full page URL), a country code, and a salted one-way digest of your IP address and browser that changes every day. We never store the IP address itself, and the digest can't be used to follow you from one day to the next.
Server logs
Like any web service, we keep short-lived request logs for debugging and abuse prevention. Logs are rotated out after 14 days.
Third-party APIs
To resolve your link we query the Podcast Index, Apple iTunes Search, the Spotify Web API, and the YouTube Data API. We don't send any personal data — just the public episode/show identifiers we extracted.
Deleting a permalink
Email us and we'll remove the record promptly. If someone else cached a copy of the URL, we can't control that.
