MVP beta privacy

Private personalized audio should stay private.

Chroncast is in MVP beta. This page summarizes the product’s current data posture so early listeners know what the app collects, why it is used, and how to delete it.

What we collect

• Account basics such as name, email, password hash, and mobile bearer tokens.
• Podcast preferences from onboarding: topics, tone, length, delivery time, timezone, voice, delivery channel, and optional delivery destination.
• Trusted source preferences such as topic-search prompts and public RSS/site URLs you provide.
• Generated episode data: plans, scripts, private audio files, delivery attempts, in-app notifications, and listener feedback.
• Beta signup email, optional name, and optional topic hints when you request access from the landing page.

What we do not collect in the MVP

Chroncast does not connect to your email, calendar, health data, social accounts, or other personal connectors in the current MVP. Source collection is limited to your selected topics and public trusted RSS/site sources.

How the data is used

We use your preferences and feedback to generate, render, deliver, and improve your private daily podcast. When configured, Chroncast sends episode plans, source snippets, scripts, and voice-rendering requests to OpenAI so it can draft scripts and generate speech audio. Admin exports and dashboards are protected by the MVP admin access gate and are intended for beta operations and debugging.

Deletion and retention

The mobile app includes a delete-account action. When confirmed, Chroncast deletes the account, listener profile, source preferences, generated episodes, delivery attempts, feedback, notifications, API tokens, rendered audio artifacts, and any beta signup row matching the account email.

Production providers

OpenAI is the current configurable provider for production-style script drafting and speech audio. SMS, native push notification, and external source-search providers have not been finalized. Before launch, this page should be updated with any additional provider-specific processing details and legal terms required for public beta.
