5. How Your Content Is Processed

When you upload content to generate a podcast episode, that content is processed by third-party AI services to produce your script and audio output:

• Script generation: Your uploaded content is transmitted to a third-party AI language model service to generate a podcast script.
• Audio generation: Your generated script is transmitted to a third-party AI voice synthesis service to produce audio.

The specific services we use are listed in Section 6. By using FairwayCast, you acknowledge and consent to your content being processed by these third-party AI services for the purpose of generating your podcast episode.

We do not share your content with any other third parties for AI processing, advertising, or any other purpose.

6. Third-Party Service Categories

To operate FairwayCast, we work with third-party providers in the following categories. Each has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data transmitted to them.

7. Google User Data

Our application offers Google OAuth (“Google Sign-In”) as an authentication option, provided through our authentication partner Clerk. When you choose to sign in with Google, we strictly access your Google user profile — specifically your name, email address, and profile picture — to create and personalize your account workspace.

We do not sell, share, or use your Google profile information for advertising or marketing purposes. We do not request access to your Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, or any other Google service beyond your basic profile.

FairwayCast's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

8. Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to:

• Keep you logged in to your account

• Analyze how the Service is used (via analytics tools)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of the Service.
