Effective Date: January 02, 2026

Welcome to dotpaw podcast ("stuff about stuff"), hosted by B. The podcast is hosted on Buzzsprout at https://dotpawpodcast.buzzsprout.com/.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information when you visit our podcast website or listen to our episodes.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal personal information. Specifically:

• Listener Data via Hosting Platform: When you listen to or download episodes directly from Buzzsprout servers, Buzzsprout collects limited technical data such as IP addresses, user agent (device/browser information), and general location for the purpose of delivering content and providing anonymized statistics. This data is handled in accordance with Buzzsprout's Privacy Policy (available at https://www.buzzsprout.com/privacy).
• Third-Party Platforms: When you access episodes through directory services (e.g., Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts), those platforms collect data according to their own privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for their practices.
• No Direct Collection: We do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or other identifiers directly on our Buzzsprout-hosted site, as there are no forms, newsletters, or accounts.

2. How We Use Information

Any data accessed through Buzzsprout is used solely for:

• Delivering podcast episodes.
• Generating anonymized statistics (e.g., download counts and general geographic trends) to improve the podcast.
• Complying with legal requirements.

We do not sell, share, or use listener data for advertising targeting, profiling, or any other purpose beyond podcast operations.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Buzzsprout-hosted site uses minimal cookies or tracking technologies necessary for basic functionality. Buzzsprout does not employ invasive tracking. Third-party platforms may use cookies—please review their policies.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not share personal information with third parties except:

• As required by our hosting provider (Buzzsprout) for service delivery.
• To comply with laws or protect rights.

5. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights under laws like GDPR (EU) or CCPA (California) to access, correct, or delete data. Since we collect minimal data through our host, contact Buzzsprout for listener statistics requests, or reach out to us (see contact below) for assistance.

6. Children's Privacy

Our podcast is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
