Privacy Policy

Effective August 4, 2026

The Daily FM ("we") operates thedaily.fm and the Page to Pod with The Daily FM browser extension. This policy covers both.

What we collect

• Account information: your email address and a hashed password (or your identity from the sign-in provider you choose). Payment status for paid plans is handled by our payment processor; we never see or store card numbers.
• Content you submit: the sources you configure for your pods, and, when you use the browser extension, the page you choose to send (its URL, title, and article text).
• Usage data: privacy-friendly, aggregate site analytics and standard server logs (IP address, browser type) kept for security and debugging.

The browser extension, specifically

• It reads a page only when you click "Send as episode." It does not run in the background, track your browsing, or read any page you don't explicitly send.
• What it sends to our servers is the page's URL, title, and text, which we use to generate your podcast episode.
• It authenticates with your existing thedaily.fm sign-in session and stores only your last-used pod and summary length, locally in your browser.

How we use it

To provide the service: generating your episodes (submitted content is processed by the AI text and speech providers that produce the audio), operating your account, billing, and support. We do not sell your data, share it for advertising, or use it to train models.

Retention and deletion

You can delete episodes and pods at any time from the site. Deleting your account from the account page removes your data. Server logs and backups age out on a rolling basis.
