Groong Podcast (“we”, “us”) is a volunteer-run project. This policy describes what information is collected when you visit podcasts.groong.org, how it is used, and what choices you have.
We use Google Analytics (ID: G-Q6HJ52LZ77) to understand how visitors use the site — which episodes are popular, how people find us, and how the site performs. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser and sends data (including your IP address, browser type, and pages visited) to Google. This data is processed under Google’s Privacy Policy.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by enabling “Do Not Track” in your browser.
Episode pages include comments powered by Disqus. Disqus sets its own cookies and collects data about comment activity. If you do not use the comment section, Disqus may still load and set cookies on pages where it is embedded. Disqus data is processed under Disqus’s Privacy Policy.
If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, you will be directed to our Substack page at substack.groong.org. Email address collection and newsletter delivery are handled by Substack under Substack’s Privacy Policy. We do not collect or store your email address ourselves. Every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link.
Audio is hosted by Buzzsprout, which may collect listener analytics (approximate location, device type, listening app) when you stream or download episodes. This is processed under Buzzsprout’s Privacy Policy.
This site uses cookies set by Google Analytics and Disqus as described above. We do not set any first-party cookies ourselves.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking cookies may affect how Google Analytics and Disqus function but will not affect your ability to read or listen to content on this site.
We do not collect your name, email address, or any personal information directly on this site. We do not sell data to third parties.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding personal data held by our third-party processors (Google Analytics, Disqus, Substack, Buzzsprout). Contact each provider directly to exercise those rights. Links to their privacy policies are above.
