What the server does
Podkin’s server reads public podcast episodes so that listeners’ phones can follow along.
When a listener’s phone cannot transcribe an episode itself, the server downloads that episode
once, identified as PodkinServer/1 (+https://podkin.ai/transcripts), transcribes it with
an AI model, and keeps only the text and an acoustic fingerprint for up to 30 days, never the audio.
It makes one download per episode, only of episodes listed publicly in the podcast catalog, and never of a listener’s private feed. Listeners still download and play your episode from your host as they always do, with the ads your host inserts.
Opting out
If you publish a podcast and would rather Podkin’s server did not download your episodes, email support@atelieradvani.com with your feed address. We will stop within a day.
