Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 21, 2026

1. Who this applies to

This policy covers ThreadCast's Chrome extension, Android app, iOS app (when launched), and this website at threadcast.app. ThreadCast is operated by Pixel Labs.

2. What we do not collect

  • The content of Reddit posts or comments you listen to.
  • Your Reddit account, username, or login credentials.
  • Which threads you open, queue, skip, or finish.
  • Audio data — speech synthesis runs in your browser via the Web Speech API.
  • Your browsing history outside of reddit.com.

3. What we do collect

Chrome extension

Nothing is transmitted to us. Your voice preferences and queue state are stored in your browser's local extension storage only and never leave your device.

Android app (currently in internal testing)

Nothing is transmitted to us directly. If you're enrolled in internal testing, Google Play collects testing-participation data per Google's own policies.

This website

Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) keeps standard server logs — IP address, browser user agent, timestamp — for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention. We do not access or analyze these logs for marketing.

When you email us

Your email address and the contents of your message. We retain these until your request is resolved, plus up to two years for our records.

When you join a waitlist

If you join the iOS waitlist or ask to be notified when Pro launches, we keep your email address until either you unsubscribe or we send the launch notification you signed up for.

4. Third parties we use

  • Cloudflare — website hosting, DNS, and DDoS protection.
  • Google (Chrome Web Store, Google Play Store) — distribution of our apps. Your interaction with these stores is governed by Google's policies.
  • Our email provider — handling support correspondence.

We currently do not use any analytics, tracking, or advertising services on this website. If that changes — for example, if we add cookieless aggregate analytics — we will update this policy before the change goes live.

5. Cookies and local storage

We do not set tracking cookies. Your browser may use localStorage to save site preferences (like your theme choice); this data stays on your device. See our Cookie Policy for details.

6. Your rights

If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or California, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Request deletion of your data.
  • Object to our processing.
  • Receive your data in a portable format.
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

California residents additionally have the right to know what categories of personal information we collect and to opt out of any "sale" of personal data. We do not sell personal data.

To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@threadcast.app. We respond within 30 days.

7. Data retention

  • Support correspondence: up to 2 years after the issue is resolved.
  • Server logs: up to 30 days, then automatically purged by Cloudflare.
  • Waitlist emails: until you unsubscribe or we send the launch notification you requested.

8. International transfers

Our providers may process data outside your country. Where applicable (for example, for users in the EEA), we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards provided by our vendors.

9. Children

ThreadCast is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have, please contact us and we will delete it.

10. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited personal data we collect. No system is fully secure — our approach is to minimize what we collect so there's less to protect in the first place.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced on this website, and the "Last updated" date above will be revised. Continued use of ThreadCast after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

12. Contact

For privacy questions, data requests, or complaints:

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data-protection authority. For EU residents, you can find your local authority at edpb.europa.eu.
