Doze · Privacy

Privacy policy

The short version: Doze stores everything on your device. Two exceptions below, both obvious ones.

What we collect

Nothing. Doze doesn’t require an account, doesn’t track your listening, and doesn’t send your data anywhere. Your podcasts, your playback position, your comfort episode — all of it lives on your device and nowhere else.

When you search for a podcast, that search term is sent to Apple’s iTunes Search API to find results. Apple handles that request under their own privacy policy. We don’t see it and don’t log it.

Episode fetching

When Doze retrieves episodes, it contacts the RSS feed for that podcast directly. The feed’s host server will see a request from your device, as it would from any podcast app. We have no involvement in that exchange and no visibility into it.

What stays on your device

Everything else. Your podcast library, playback position, sleep timer preference, comfort episode selection, and scene preference are stored locally using your device’s standard storage. None of it leaves your phone.

App store data

When you download Doze from the App Store or Google Play, the store collects information as part of its own processes. That falls under Apple’s privacy policy or Google’s privacy policy, not ours. We don’t see any of it.

Purchase data

If you buy Doze directly from us via Lemon Squeezy, the checkout collects your email and payment details. That’s handled by Lemon Squeezy, who acts as the merchant of record. We see your email and purchase, nothing more.

Third parties

Doze contains no trackers, analytics, ad networks, or fingerprinting. It makes exactly two types of outbound request: iTunes Search when you search, and RSS feeds when you add or refresh a podcast. Both are described above.

Questions that aren’t answered above: [email protected].

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version replaces this page.
