Privacy Policy

We believe privacy is important and any data collection required by the services we offer should be need-only, and transparent.

This privacy statement outlines all the data that the Amaeya L.L.C. (“Amaeya Media”, the “Company” or the “Network”) touches & the ways in which this data is stored and may be used.

Amaeya Media does not personally identify or track users who interact with its websites, and does not authorise the collection of personally identifiable information from users on any Amaeya Network site, sub-site or third parties through advertising technologies. Any collection of data is only through explicit user authorisation, such as during suveys, or user sign-ups to our mailing list.

Currently, we collect information from users through the following touch points:

We collect data in the following ways:

Your data may be used for the following purposes:

In any event where Amaeya discloses your personal information to its agents, sub-contractors or partners, the party in question will be obligated to use that personal information in accordance with the terms of this policy. This does not apply to third-party vendors that collect your data directly from you, for example when you sign up at a payment gateway to pay. Amaeya has no need to share any personal information with third-parties and does not do so.

Amaeya may disclose your privacy information to the extent that it is required by law, in connection with any current or prospective legal proceedings and in order to establish, exercise or defend its legal rights.

Services we use

Amaeya Media uses a few third-party services to deliver our media and services.

Transistor

We use Transistor to host all of our shows, which includes our audio and video files, related show content and analytics, as well as any advertising inventory.

When you listen to an episode in a podcast app such as Apple Podcasts, baseline information about your device (your IP address and user-agent), and what episode you’ve heard is shared with Transistor by the platforms and also recorded by the individual platforms. Transistor’s privacy policy is available here.

When you watch an episode on YouTube, the platform collects information related to your consumption. You can find out more about YouTube’s policies here.

Megaphone

Previously, our shows were hosted on Megaphone. As of 15 July 2026, Megaphone no longer delivers our episodes and therefore does not collect any data, although a copy of our archive is still currently hosted on Megaphone.

Plausible

Amaeya Media is happy to review these services at any time should a better privacy-focused alternative be available that continues to allow us to see valuable data required for our business such as traffic, hits & referrers. Please feel free to reach out should you wish to recommend such services to us.
