# Besta podcast appið fyrir friðhelgi einkalífsins

# A privacy-focused podcast app with clear data boundaries

Last updated: July 2026

Core listening can start without an account. Optional sign-in, sync, purchases, AI features, first-party product measurement, and diagnostics process limited data as described in the privacy policy.

## Privacy and listening controls

### Core listening without an account

Search and play public podcast feeds before sign-in. Accounts are used when you choose sync, purchases, saved history, protected AI limits, or Premium workflows.

### Clear collection boundaries

First-party product measurement is default-disabled and can be enabled only after the server policy returns allowed. Gated, unknown, offline, malformed, or failed policy checks leave collection disabled. The app does not sell personal data or use it for third-party advertising.

## Privacy with explicit boundaries

Core listening can start without an account. Optional sign-in, sync, purchases, AI features, first-party product measurement, and diagnostics process limited data as described in the privacy policy.

First-party product measurement is default-disabled and can be enabled only after the server policy returns allowed. Gated, unknown, offline, malformed, or failed policy checks leave collection disabled.

Crash reports are used for app functionality, are not linked to an account, and remain local at first. The app sends eligible queued reports only after a later allowed session; otherwise it deletes them.

We do not sell personal data, use it for advertising or ad measurement, or track people across other companies' apps or websites. Read the [privacy policy](https://thepodcastapp.dev/privacy) for collected data types, purposes, providers, and retention details.
