Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 29, 2026
The short version: the app has no accounts, no sign-in, no ads, and never sells your data. It stores your downloads and listening positions on your device, and it sends anonymous usage statistics and crash reports to Google Firebase so the developer can fix bugs and improve the app. That's it.
This policy describes what information the Armstrong & Getty Podcast App ("the app") — an unofficial, independently developed companion app for The Armstrong & Getty Show — handles when you use it on iOS or Android, and this website when you visit it.
Information you give us
None. The app has no user accounts and no forms. It never asks for your name, email address, contacts, photos, or precise location, and it has no access to them. If you email the developer, your email is used only to reply to you.
Information collected automatically
Usage analytics (Google Firebase Analytics)
To understand which features are used and where the app misbehaves, the app sends anonymous usage events to Google Firebase Analytics. These include things like:
- playback events (play, pause, seek, playback-speed changes, segment skips);
- download events (started, completed, failed, cancelled);
- which screens are viewed and which outbound links are opened;
- general device information: device model, operating system version, app version, language, and country-level approximate location derived from your IP address;
- a random app-instance identifier generated by Firebase. This identifier is not your name and is not linked to any account; it resets if you reinstall the app.
Crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics)
If the app crashes or hits an internal error, a crash report is sent to Firebase Crashlytics. Crash reports contain technical information about the failure (stack trace, device model, OS version, app state at the time) and are used solely to diagnose and fix bugs.
Audio streaming and downloads
Show audio is streamed and downloaded directly from the show's public podcast feed and its content delivery network (Omny Studio, an iHeartMedia service). When the app fetches audio or feed data, those servers see your IP address and standard request metadata, as with any podcast app. Their handling of that data is governed by their own privacy policies.
Google Cast
If you cast an episode to a Chromecast device, the app hands the episode's public streaming URL to your Cast device, which then streams the audio directly. Casting uses Google's Cast framework on your local network; the app does not send any personal information to the Cast device.
Information stored on your device
These stay on your phone and are never uploaded anywhere:
- downloaded episode audio files;
- your listening positions and episode history;
- app preferences and locally hidden/deleted episodes.
Deleting the app deletes all of it.
What we don't do
- We do not sell, rent, or trade your data — to anyone, ever.
- We do not show ads or use advertising SDKs.
- We do not track you across other companies' apps or websites, and the app does not use the advertising identifier (IDFA/AAID).
- We do not collect precise location, contacts, photos, microphone, or camera data.
Service providers
The analytics and crash data described above is processed by Google LLC (Firebase) on the developer's behalf, under Firebase's privacy and security terms. Analytics data is retained for a limited period and then deleted or aggregated.
Children
The app is a general-audience talk-radio companion and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
This website
This website is a static site. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and collects no personal information.
Your choices
- You can delete all local data at any time by deleting the app.
- On iOS, you can review the app's network activity in the App Privacy Report (Settings → Privacy & Security).
- To ask about, or request deletion of, analytics data associated with your app instance, email brett@nomnomsom.com.
Changes to this policy
If the app's data practices change, this page will be updated and the effective date above revised. Material changes will be called out in the app's release notes.
