This notice describes how PodNick handles information when you visit or use the network. It is a draft for operator review; the legal operator and dedicated privacy contact still need to be confirmed. Reading this notice does not automatically publish your profile or authorize optional marketing.
1. Information you provide
PodNick stores account and sign-in information, profile details, location, professional interests, social links, podcast details, photos, banners and videos you submit. It also handles applications, invitations, availability, event drafts, community memberships, follows, reviews, forum posts, private messages, quiz answers and waitlist submissions when you use those features.
2. How information is used
We use this information to operate accounts, show the information you choose to publish, connect hosts and guests, manage applications and collaboration, deliver expected account notifications, process membership records, and investigate abuse or technical problems. We do not describe member-provided social links, accolades or guest names as independently verified proof.
3. Public and private information
Published profiles and public content may be viewed by others and indexed by search engines. Public event forums are visible to visitors. Joining a community does not itself publish a profile. Private messages are intended for the conversation participants; private availability and event drafts are restricted to their authorized owners. Authorized administration and service providers may process information to operate the service and respond to safety issues.
Profile and banner images use private storage and access-controlled image links. An image shown on a published profile can still be viewed or copied by its audience. No online service can guarantee that public information will not be copied.
4. Nick and AI suggestions
When you request AI assistance, relevant profile information, prompts and permitted content may be processed through Lovable's AI service and its model providers to generate replies or suggestions. Matching compares relevant published member information and content. AI suggestions can be inaccurate and are not identity verification. Avoid entering sensitive information that is unnecessary for your request.
5. Service providers and payments
Lovable Cloud provides account authentication, application data and file storage. Stripe processes membership checkout and billing information; PodNick stores payment identifiers and subscription status rather than full card details. Email providers process recipient addresses and notification content when sending is configured. Google or other enabled sign-in providers process sign-in information when you choose their sign-in options. These providers handle data under their own policies as well as the services they provide to us.
6. Browser storage and external content
Sign-in uses browser storage to maintain your session. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which receives a request from your browser. Embedded media from providers such as YouTube, Spotify, Apple, Instagram or TikTok can receive your IP address, browser information and page context when loaded, and may use their own cookies or storage. External links take you to sites with their own privacy practices. The current site does not present a cookie-consent banner that controls these embeds.
7. Visitor analytics
On the published site, clicks on buttons and links are recorded for every visitor, without a consent banner currently holding them back. Clicks are identified by their position on the page, not their text. Page visits, time on page, page speed and errors are also recorded for every visitor, without cookies and without identifying anyone.
Lovable's analytics records pages visited, where visitors came from, country, browser, operating system, device type, time spent, page-load speed, errors and clicks. It stores nothing on the visitor's device, does not keep IP addresses and cannot recognize returning visitors. Detailed data is kept for 90 days and daily summaries for a year. The editor preview is not counted.
Lovable collects this data for us. Lovable's privacy policy explains how it handles it.
8. Retention, security and international processing
Account and service records are retained as needed to provide the service, resolve disputes, prevent abuse and meet applicable obligations. Exact retention periods for member records are not yet specified. Information may be processed in countries other than yours by our service providers. Access controls and private storage reduce risk but do not guarantee absolute security.
9. Your choices and privacy requests
You can edit your profile, choose public or private visibility, remove supported content and manage available notification preferences. Depending on the rules where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability or restrictions on processing. Deletion may be limited by legal obligations or records needed for safety and disputes. A dedicated privacy contact and the legal operator's details will be added after the operator confirms them; this draft is not a substitute for a working privacy-request contact.
10. Changes to this notice
We may update this notice as the service changes and revise the date above. Material changes should be communicated where required. Privacy requirements vary by country; the operator should have this notice reviewed for the places where PodNick's members live before treating it as a final legal agreement.
