FeedCast explains how information is handled so listeners can make informed choices. Last updated July 16, 2026.

The FeedCast app

FeedCast stores your saved library, queue, progress, preferences, listening state, and recommendation signals with the app on your device. Recommendation ranking uses Subscribe, Follow, progress, and completion signals.

The app does connect to external services when a feature needs them. Examples include searching Apple's podcast directory, fetching podcast feeds and artwork, streaming or downloading audio, and loading publisher-provided chapters or transcripts. Those services receive the network information required to answer the request and apply their own privacy practices.

On supported iOS 26+ iPhones, the on-device Transcript Beta path analyzes only the downloaded episode a listener explicitly chooses; it does not upload the audio. A publisher's transcript remains the preferred source when available.

Private feeds

Private-feed locations can contain credentials or access tokens. FeedCast treats them as capability-bearing information. Complete private-feed URLs and credentials are not intended to appear in sharing, logs, diagnostics, analytics, accessibility text, screenshots, or committed fixtures.

Private feed access is stored locally using iOS data-protection Keychain storage. It is resolved only for the feed transport or an explicit listener-requested OPML export.
