In accordance with Cal. Lab. Code §§ 2750.3 and 3351 (AB 5), the Producer acknowledges that data collected from editors, sound engineers, and show note writers is handled in compliance with California's ABC test. Personal data for individuals engaged in production is processed solely for the purpose of managing the professional relationship and ensuring compliance with California tax and insurance obligations.
Consistent with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Guidelines on endorsements, the Producer discloses that listener data may be used to verify ad impressions and sponsorship conversions. If a listener utilizes a proprietary 'show code' or affiliate link provided in the episode or show notes, the Producer and the respective sponsor may share anonymized transaction data. The Producer maintains strict editorial control over episodes to prevent deceptive advertising and ensures all sponsored content is marked in accordance with 16 CFR Part 255.
The Producer maintains a separate Guest Release for the use of voice, likeness, and intellectual property. However, for the purposes of this Privacy Policy and Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) compliance, any personal information submitted during a DMCA 'takedown' request or a copyright dispute regarding episode music or clips will be stored specifically for legal dispute resolution and will not be shared for marketing purposes.
[sponsorship disclosure method]
In the California digital landscape, podcast producers must navigate more than just audio quality; they must adhere to rigorous data transparency under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Whether you are collecting listener emails for show notes, managing guest release forms, or tracking RSS feed analytics, you are handling personal data. A specialized privacy policy ensures you mitigate risks related to sponsor disclosures under FTC guidelines and data handling for independent contractors per AB 5, while protecting your production from copyright and defamation liabilities.
Beyond the standard privacy policy sections, this template adds fields specific to Podcast Producer:
The core legal purpose of a Privacy Policy is to inform users about how their personal information is collected, used, stored, and shared by a business or service, ensuring compliance with privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and potentially the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for businesses that handle European data. It seeks to build trust with users by promoting transparency and accountability in personal data management.
Guest Release Issues
Use comprehensive guest release forms that outline consent for recording and distributing the episode.
If you are a California-based producer, the CCPA grants listeners the right to know what data you collect via your website or RSS feed analytics. You must provide a clear 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link if you monetize listener demographics through third-party ad networks or sponsorships.
Yes. FTC Guidelines require clear disclosure of how you track brand conversions. Your privacy policy should explicitly state if you use unique 'promo code' parameters or tracking pixels to report sponsor ROI, ensuring listeners are aware of how their interaction with sponsors is monitored.
While guest releases cover the usage of their voice and likeness for the episode, your Privacy Policy must address how you store their contact information, social security numbers for 1099 reporting, and any sensitive personal data categorized under Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100.
