Where will my content be hosted?

Your podcast's media files (audio, video and images) are stored with Cloudflare and delivered to listeners through Cloudflare's global network, so your episodes load quickly wherever your listeners are.

Our web application and database, which hold your account and podcast data, run on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the United States.

Can I choose where my content is hosted?

We aren't able to restrict your podcast hosting to a particular country or region. Your data is stored in the United States, including for customers in the EU and UK.

We use a global network so that your audio and video are delivered efficiently to your listeners, wherever they are in the world.

How is my data protected?

• All communication between the Transistor app and our servers is encrypted with TLS.
• Your account and podcast data is stored in a database on AWS that's encrypted at rest.
• Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text.
• Payment cards are handled by Stripe. Card details are never stored on or passed through our servers.

Data protection and GDPR

Transistor is based in the United States. Our Data Processing Agreement (DPA) covers GDPR, UK GDPR and CCPA, and includes the Standard Contractual Clauses for data transferred from the EEA, the UK and Switzerland. No signature is required: it takes effect when you accept our Terms of Service.

• Sub-processors: every third-party provider that may process data on your behalf, what each one does and where it's located.
• Privacy Policy: how we collect and use personal data, and how to contact our representative in the EU and UK.

When you publish your podcast, directories and apps like Apple Podcasts and Spotify fetch your RSS feed and media. They aren't our sub-processors, and they handle that data under their own privacy policies.
