## Do We Share The Information We Collect With Third Parties?

We may share the information that we collect, both personal and non-personal, with third parties such as advertisers, contest sponsors, promotional and marketing partners, affiliate partners, and others who provide our content or whose products or services we think may interest you.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, **phone numbers collected for SMS communications and any associated SMS consent are not shared, sold, rented, or disclosed to third parties for their own marketing, advertising, or independent use under any circumstances.**

We may also share information with our current and future affiliated companies and business partners, and if we are involved in a merger, asset sale, or other business reorganization, we may share or transfer your personal and non-personal information to our successors-in-interest.

Any third-party service providers that assist with SMS delivery do so solely on our behalf and are contractually prohibited from using your phone number or SMS consent for their own purposes.

We may share portions of our log file data, including IP addresses, for analytics purposes with third parties such as web analytics partners and ad networks. We may also disclose personal and non-personal information to government or law enforcement officials where required by law.

## Affiliate Links and Disclosures

thepodcastjunkie.com participates in affiliate marketing programs, meaning some of the links on our website, in our emails, and in our content are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the merchant — at no additional cost to you.

We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe will provide value to our audience. The receipt of any commission does not influence our editorial views or the recommendations we make.

When you click an affiliate link, a tracking cookie may be set by the merchant or affiliate network to attribute the referral. We do not control these third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy policies of the merchants and networks involved.

## SMS Communications and Consent

If you provide your phone number and consent to receive SMS or text messages from thepodcastjunkie.com, that consent applies only to communications sent directly by thepodcastjunkie.com for purposes such as content updates, account notifications, customer support, or transactional messaging.

SMS consent is not shared, sold, rented, or disclosed to third parties for their own marketing or independent use under any circumstances.

We may use third-party service providers solely to facilitate the delivery of SMS messages on our behalf. Such providers act only as service providers and are prohibited from using your phone number or SMS consent for any purpose other than delivering messages for thepodcastjunkie.com.

## How Do We Use Your Email Address?

By submitting your email address on this website, you agree to receive emails from us. This may include educational content, newsletters, promotions for our own products, recommendations of partner products, and notifications related to anything you have purchased or subscribed to.

You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the opt-out link included in every marketing email.

We do not send unsolicited commercial emails. Email addresses submitted only through the order processing page will be used for purposes related to your order unless you have separately opted in to our marketing list.

Similar to email communications, SMS consent is limited to thepodcastjunkie.com communications only and is not shared with third parties for their own marketing or messaging purposes.

## How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

We keep your information only so long as we need it to provide our Service to you and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. When we no longer need to use your information, we will remove it from our systems or depersonalize it.

We implement a variety of security measures including SSL encryption and restricted access controls. However, no system is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
