Privacy Policy

Information we collect

We collect information you choose to submit through this website: contact forms, guest applications, guest recommendations, referral forms, sponsorship inquiries and email newsletter subscriptions. Depending on the form, this may include your name, email address, phone number, organization, professional background, links you provide and files you upload.

We also collect limited technical information automatically through cookies and analytics, described below.

How we use your information

We use submitted information to respond to inquiries, evaluate guest recommendations and applications, prepare sponsorship proposals, send the email newsletter to subscribers who opted in, and operate and improve the website. We do not sell personal information.

Consent

Every form on this site includes a consent checkbox. By checking it, you agree to the collection and use described in this policy for that submission. You may withdraw newsletter consent at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email.

Cookies and analytics

This site may use cookies and analytics services (such as Google Analytics and, if enabled, the Meta Pixel) to understand how visitors use the site. Analytics data is aggregated and used to improve content and performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

Uploaded files

Files uploaded through guest applications and recommendations (headshots, biographies, media kits, supporting material) are used solely to evaluate and prepare episodes. Do not upload confidential, privileged or classified material.

Third-party services

We use third-party services to operate the site and its forms, which may include email delivery, form processing, newsletter management, file storage, video hosting (YouTube), audio platforms (Spotify, Apple Podcasts) and analytics providers. These services process data under their own privacy policies.

Data retention

We retain form submissions for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose they were submitted for, and newsletter data for as long as you remain subscribed. You may request deletion of your submitted information by contacting us.

Your California privacy rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) gives you the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used, to request access to or deletion of your personal information, to correct inaccurate information, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law. To exercise any of these rights, contact us through the Contact page and we will respond within the time required by law.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we handle. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security; you submit information at your own discretion.

Children's privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the top reflects the most recent revision, and continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
