Gertrude AM Privacy Policy
Last updated: 5/4/2026
Gertrude AM is a podcast app managed by parents or accountability partners restricting access to a select set of podcasts. It does not require a Gertrude account, and we do not collect names, email addresses, contact information, location, contacts, or advertising identifiers.
Information the App Sends to Gertrude
The app sends a small amount of anonymous app data to help us understand usage patterns, keep subscriptions working, and fix bugs. This can include:
- Basic app and device details, such as app version, iOS version, device model, and an iOS-provided identifier for Gertrude apps.
- App events, such as first launch, onboarding completion, subscription status changes, review prompt choices, and error reports.
- Short details needed to understand a problem, such as a podcast feed URL entered in the app or the result of a subscription purchase attempt.
We use this information only to operate and improve Gertrude AM. It is not tied to a Gertrude account, and we do not use it for advertising.
Podcast and Purchase Data
Gertrude AM downloads podcast feeds, artwork, and audio from Apple podcast search and from the podcast providers you choose. Those providers may receive ordinary network information when the app fetches their content.
Subscriptions are handled by Apple. The app records limited StoreKit purchase status details so it can tell whether your free trial, subscription, or complimentary access is active.
Support Actions
The app includes support-only actions that can upload or download the app's local database when troubleshooting requires it. These actions are not automatic; they require a special command entered into the app.
No Selling or Marketing Sharing
We never sell Gertrude AM data. We do not provide it to third-party services, customers, advertisers, or marketing platforms.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
