Vocalia Podcast is a podcast player by Archetipi Digitali s.r.l. This notice explains how the app works and supplements the company and apps website privacy policy.
Controller and contact
Archetipi Digitali s.r.l., VAT number 05374590262, Via Alcide de Gasperi 61/A, 31020 San Vendemiano (TV), Italy. Privacy enquiries: info@archetipi-digitali.it. App support: app@archetipi-digitali.it.
Information stored on your device
No Vocalia account is required. The app stores subscriptions, podcast and episode metadata, the queue, playback history and positions, played/read status, preferences, language and timer settings on your device. Audio files are stored when you request a download or file sharing, or enable automatic downloads.
The widget uses a local App Group to read the language and a playback snapshot: show and episode title, chapter when available, artwork, position, duration and player state. This is not a cloud sync service.
Vocalia has no developer-operated server collecting or syncing your library and includes no advertising or analytics SDKs. It does not access your contacts, request your geographic location or record microphone audio. Local data may be included in system backups according to your Apple device settings. The app’s downloaded audio is excluded from backup.
Connections to Apple and publishers
Search sends the search terms and selected national catalog to Apple. To display and play podcasts, the app requests RSS/Atom feeds, metadata, chapters, artwork and audio directly from the respective providers. Refreshes and automatic downloads, when enabled, also make these requests.
As with any Internet connection, the receiving service may receive your IP address, technical request information, request time and requested resource. User-provided feeds may have their own access parameters or advertising services. Publishers and their providers may include sponsorships, audience measurement or dynamic advertising in their episodes. Vocalia does not control the retention or purposes of publishers’ server logs; their privacy notices apply, including any processing outside the European Economic Area.
Siri, Shortcuts, CarPlay, widgets and system services are also subject to your settings and Apple’s privacy policy. Vocalia receives commands and parameters from the system and does not directly record your voice.
Import, export and sharing
OPML import reads the file you choose and contacts the feeds it contains. Export creates a subscriptions file. Recipients can learn which podcasts you follow and their feed addresses. The export does not contain audio files or playback history.
The iOS share sheet lets you send a link or, when available, the original audio file. Your selected app or recipient receives that content under its own rules. Sharing must respect the publishers’ rights.
Retention and control
App data stays on your device until you change it or remove the app and its data. You can unfollow shows, delete downloads and enable automatic file deletion after completing an episode. Exported or shared copies and backups depend on the destinations and settings you choose.
If you contact us, we process your address and message to provide support or respond, on the basis of steps requested by you and, where applicable, our legitimate interest in managing communications. Do not send passwords, keys or private feed URLs unless necessary. Details about retention, your rights, supervisory authority complaints and controller contacts are in the company privacy policy. To exercise your rights, email info@archetipi-digitali.it.
