Privacy Policy

Effective October 23, 2026

This policy covers the Voicepage podcast app for iPhone, iPad and Mac ("Voicepage", "the app"), made by Brian McCall ("we", "us").

What stays on your device

Voicepage saves what it needs to work, only on your device, in the app's own storage:

• Your library: the shows you subscribe to (their feed addresses), their episodes, and which stack each episode is in (Sort, Up Next, Shelf, Someday, Skip and your own stacks).
• People you follow: the names of the hosts, guests or subjects you follow.
• Listening: playback position, played status and your player settings.
• Downloads: episode audio you download for offline listening.
• Transcripts, summaries and clips: transcripts from a show's own transcript file or made on your device, the summaries and clips you create, and a search index over them.
• A random install ID: a random code made when you first open the app. It isn't linked to your name, Apple Account or device, and is used only for search rate limiting (see below).

None of this is sent to us. Deleting the app deletes everything it saved on that device.

iCloud sync (optional)

If you turn on iCloud sync, Voicepage stores your subscriptions, followed people, stacks and episode states in your own private iCloud database, so your devices stay in step. That data is stored by Apple in your iCloud account under Apple's privacy policy; we can't see it. Sync is off unless you turn it on, and you can turn it off at any time.

On-device AI

Transcripts the app makes itself use Apple's on-device speech recognition, and summaries use Apple Intelligence running on your device. Audio, transcripts and summaries are not sent to us or to any cloud AI service. On devices without these features, the related options are hidden or unavailable.

Where the app connects

• Podcast publishers. Like any podcast app, Voicepage downloads feeds, episode audio, artwork, chapters and transcript files straight from the servers each show uses. Those servers receive what any website receives: your IP address and the file requested. Their own privacy policies apply.
• Our search server. When you search for a show or a person, the app asks our small search server, which forwards the search to Podcast Index, an open podcast directory. Our server receives your search words, your IP address, the random install ID above and a key that is the same for every copy of the app. It uses a one-way scrambled form of your IP address and install ID only to stop any one device from sending too many searches, and it keeps no log of searches. Podcast Index receives the search words from our server, not your IP address or install ID. Search results may be cached briefly, without anything that identifies you.
• Apple, for subscriptions and, if you turn it on, iCloud sync.

The app contains no analytics, advertising or crash-reporting code, and no third-party SDKs.

If you tap a link (for example a show's website or this page), it opens in your browser, and that website's own privacy policy applies.

Subscriptions

Voicepage+ is a monthly or yearly subscription sold through Apple's App Store, each with a 1-week free trial for new subscribers. It renews automatically until you cancel it in your App Store account settings.

Apple handles the payment. We never see your name, card number or Apple Account. The app only checks with Apple whether your subscription is active, so it can unlock Voicepage+ features. Apple's privacy policy covers your purchase: apple.com/legal/privacy.

No account, no tracking, no ads

• There is no sign-up or login.
• We don't track you across apps or websites, and we don't use advertising identifiers.
• We don't show ads.
• We don't sell, rent or share personal data, because we don't collect it.

Children

Voicepage is a general-audience podcast player and isn't aimed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children, because the app doesn't collect personal information at all.

Your choices

Because your data lives on your device (and optionally your own iCloud), you're in control: unsubscribe from shows, unfollow people, delete downloads, turn iCloud sync off, or delete the app to remove everything on that device. If you have a question about your data, email us and we'll answer.

Changes to this policy

If the app ever starts handling data differently, we'll update this page and the date at the top before that version of the app is released.
