Privacy

Last updated: 14 November 2026

RSS Podcast Player has no account, no ads, no analytics and no server of ours. The developer receives none of your data.

RSS Podcast Player is an iPhone app made by Konstantin Virolainen, an independent developer in Toronto, Canada. This page says what the app keeps, and who it talks to when you use it.

What stays on your iPhone

• The shows you add, including their feed links. A private or member feed link stays on your phone.
• Your place in each show and how far into an episode you are.
• Your playback speed.

This lives in the app's own storage on your iPhone. If your iPhone backs up to iCloud or a computer, it is part of that backup, like other app data. Removing a show removes its data; deleting the app removes all of it.

Who the app talks to

• Podcast hosts. Feeds, cover art and episodes are downloaded straight from the servers listed in each show's feed. Like any website, those servers see your IP address and the request, and many count downloads. Their own privacy policies apply.
• Apple's podcast search. When you search for a show, the words you type go to Apple's public iTunes Search service, which returns matching shows. Apple's privacy policy applies to that request.

Nothing else is sent anywhere. The app has no third-party code, no tracking and no advertising identifiers.

Clipboard and sharing

• When you open Add a show, the app checks whether the clipboard holds a link, so it can offer to paste it. It reads what's on the clipboard only when you tap to paste.
• Sharing a show or an episode happens only when you tap Share, through the iPhone's share sheet, to the app or person you pick. Private feed links are left out of Share.

Children

The app isn't aimed at children and collects nothing from anyone.

Changes

If the app ever starts handling data differently, this page changes first, with a new date at the top.
