Privacy Policy
Last updated 4 July 2026
Broda is an early beta prototype. This policy describes how the current version handles your information. As the product grows we will update this page and, where the law requires it, tell you about material changes.
The short version
We collect only what we need to run your account and remember what you save. We don't run ads, and we don't sell or rent your personal data to anyone. You can ask us for a copy of your data or to delete your account at any time.
Who we are
Broda (“Broda”, “we”, “us”) provides a web app that turns medical and church podcasts into scannable, source-linked summaries. If you have any question about your data or this policy, contact us at hello@broda.app.
What we collect
- Account details. Your email address and, if you provide one, a display name. These are needed to create and sign you in to your account.
- Your activity in the app. The items you like, save, react to (including “Amen”), follow, and the comments or questions you post. Comments and reactions are linked to your account.
- Listening progress. Where you left off in an episode is stored locally in your browser (localStorage) on your own device, not on our servers.
- Basic technical data. Like most websites, our hosting and infrastructure providers may process standard technical information (such as IP address and browser type) to deliver and secure the service.
We do not ask for or intentionally collect special-category data such as your health conditions. Please don't share personal medical details about yourself or others in comments or questions.
How we use it
We use your information to run your account, show you what you've saved and followed, display your comments, keep the service secure, and improve how Broda works. We do not use your personal data for advertising, and we do not sell it.
Who processes your data
We use Supabase as our backend provider to host our database and manage authentication. Supabase processes account and activity data on our behalf as a data processor. We use reputable hosting providers to serve the app. We only share data with providers who help us operate Broda, and only for that purpose.
Cookies and local storage
Broda uses browser local storage to keep you signed in and to remember your listening progress. We don't use third-party advertising or tracking cookies. Some pages load fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser contacts Google's servers to fetch them; we plan to self-host fonts to avoid this.
Your rights
Depending on where you live — including under the EU/UK GDPR and Nigeria's NDPR — you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@broda.app and we'll help you. We aim to respond within a reasonable time and free of charge.
Data retention
We keep your account data for as long as your account is active. When you ask us to delete your account, we remove your personal data, though we may keep limited records where the law requires it. Listening progress stored on your device is cleared when you clear your browser storage.
Children
Broda is not directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
International use
Broda is available worldwide, and your data may be processed in countries other than your own. Wherever it's processed, we take reasonable steps to protect it in line with this policy.
Changes
We may update this policy as Broda evolves. When we do, we'll change the “last updated” date above, and we'll flag significant changes where we reasonably can.
