Last updated: August 8, 2026. This page explains what 1st Episode collects, how we use it, and the controls you have across recording, AI production, publishing, talent bookings, and studio spaces.
To authenticate you; run recordings and productions; generate transcripts, edits, clips, captions, thumbnails, descriptions, and social posts; store and stream your media; meter credits and storage; process payments, payouts, and space bookings; coordinate guests, talent, and reminders; deliver transactional and scheduled email and SMS; provide support; prevent fraud and trial abuse; keep the platform secure and reliable; and measure our marketing. We do not sell personal information.
Content belongs to the brand or agency account, not to an individual seat. People invited to an account can see that account’s shows, episodes, media, and settings. Talent and space hosts see only the bookings and details shared with them for an engagement.
Recording sessions capture the audio and video of everyone who joins. The person running the session is responsible for telling participants they are being recorded and obtaining any consent required by law. Guest emails are used to send invites, reminders, show notes, and rescheduling links for that specific booking.
We send audio, video frames, transcripts, and text you provide to AI providers to produce transcripts, edits, clips, captions, titles, descriptions, thumbnails, show notes, and social copy. Outputs are suggestions and remain under your control until you approve them. We do not use your private content to train public foundation models.
Tokens for connected social and video accounts are stored securely and used only to perform the uploads, posts, and lookups you request. You can disconnect an account at any time in the app, which stops future publishing and revokes our stored access.
We share data with service providers acting on our behalf: cloud hosting and database, media storage and rendering, AI and transcription providers, our payment processor, email and SMS delivery, merchandise fulfillment, analytics and advertising, and error monitoring. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the platform. In a merger or acquisition, data may transfer as part of the business.
We use cookies for sign-in sessions and preferences, and Google analytics and advertising tags on our public marketing pages to measure traffic and campaign performance. You can control cookies through your browser and ad personalization through Google’s settings.
We keep your account and content while your account is active. When you delete content in the app it is removed from your workspace and purged from storage on our normal deletion cycle. After an account is closed or a subscription lapses, we retain media for a limited wind-down window before deletion, and keep billing and transaction records for as long as the law requires. [Operator: confirm the exact wind-down window to state here.]
Access is protected by authenticated sessions and row-level database policies so accounts can only reach their own data. Data is encrypted in transit, and media is stored with access-controlled, signed URLs. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password.
Our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for those transfers.
The Service is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from any child under 13. We ask every registrant for a date of birth and refuse the account if it indicates the person is under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has created an account, we will delete it and the associated data promptly.
Users aged 13–17. Minors participate only through an approved organization’s youth program under adult supervision. A minor’s profile is not listed in the talent or spaces marketplaces, minors cannot be booked or make bookings, cannot withdraw funds, and cannot exchange private messages with adults outside their program. We keep a minor’s personal details visible only to their organization’s administrators, and content featuring a minor cannot be published until an administrator confirms the required permissions. Organizations and participants may request deletion of a minor’s content at any time by using the in-app controls or emailing privacy@dagenmedia.com.
We will update this page as the product changes and revise the date above. Material changes will be communicated in the app or by email.
