Data We Collect
We do not collect any personal data. ListenUp operates entirely on your device.
- No analytics or telemetry
- No advertising or ad tracking
- No account creation required
- No data sent to our servers
Data Stored on Your Device
ListenUp stores the following data locally on your device to provide its features:
- Podcast subscriptions — feed URLs, episode metadata, and artwork
- Audiobook library — titles, chapters, and cover art from LibriVox (public domain)
- Imported audio files — metadata extracted from files you import
- Playback state — your listening position, played/unplayed status, and playback preferences
- Downloaded episodes and chapters — audio files stored for offline listening
- App preferences — settings like playback speed, download behavior, and display options
This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to any server.
Third-Party Services
ListenUp communicates with the following external services to provide its features:
- Apple iTunes Search API — to search for podcasts. Queries are sent directly to Apple. See Apple’s Privacy Policy.
- Podcast RSS feeds — to fetch episode listings and metadata from podcast publishers. These are standard web requests to the feed URLs you subscribe to.
- LibriVox API — to search and browse free public domain audiobooks. See LibriVox.
No personal information is included in these requests.
iCloud
If you enable iCloud settings backup, your app preferences (not your subscriptions or listening data) may be synced via Apple’s iCloud Key-Value Storage. This is governed by Apple’s iCloud Terms.
Children’s Privacy
ListenUp does not knowingly collect data from children. The app does not collect data from anyone.
