Privacy
In short: Podiana sets no cookies, uses no third-party analytics services and stores no listener data. Audio files, fonts and scripts are delivered from this domain; only the request form for businesses comes from formdialog.com, our own form service.
Visitor count
An exception to what this page otherwise says about outside services: every page loads a small counting script from analytics.axaix.app, the network's own statistics server. It is hosted in a data centre in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and the data is not passed on to third parties.
The script sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. It records the page viewed, the page the visit came from, screen width and language, the broad device type, browser and operating system, and clicks on downloads and on links to other websites. Your IP address is used only briefly to determine country and city and to form a daily hash, then discarded and never stored. The hash changes every day, so a visitor cannot be recognised from one day to the next. Raw data is deleted after twelve months. If your browser sends “Do Not Track”, the visit is not counted.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in measuring the reach of these pages with as little data as possible (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
Advertising
Through the counting script, every page also loads the advertising script ad.member.show/axaix.js. On the network’s magazines it shows labelled ads from members of the member.show network, and banner.member.show serves the banner images. Both addresses belong to the network itself and are hosted by the provider Hostinger. No data is passed on to advertisers or any other third parties.
The advertising script sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser and builds no user profiles. Which ad appears depends only on the page viewed and its language. Impressions and clicks are counted solely as totals per ad, page and day, and your IP address is not stored for this. A click on an ad passes briefly through ad.member.show and then on to the advertiser.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in funding the magazines through advertising and showing advertisers the reach of their ads (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Visiting the website
When you visit, technically necessary data (IP address, time, page requested, browser type) is processed by the hosting provider in server log files and deleted after a short period. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) f GDPR, the legitimate interest in secure operation. No third-party content is loaded when a page opens.
Audio playback
Episodes are audio files on this domain. When you press play, your browser fetches the file from our server; this transfer is technically necessary for playback (Art. 6 (1) b GDPR). No playback data is stored on the server.
Storage in your browser
Playback position, volume and playback speed are stored only in the local storage of your browser (localStorage). This data never leaves your device and can be deleted through your browser settings at any time. No cookies are set.
Widget on other websites
The Podiana player can be embedded on other websites. The widget is loaded from this domain and sets no cookies. The operator of the respective website is responsible for the embedding. The audio file is fetched only after a click on play.
Contact form
The request form on the page for businesses comes from formdialog.com, the form service of NexTao GmbH. It runs on its own server at Hostinger in Frankfurt am Main, sets no cookies and loads nothing from third parties. With the form it learns on which page of this site it is shown. If you send a request through it, the details you enter are used solely to process your request (Art. 6 (1) b GDPR). The request is delivered to the editorial team by e-mail, stored in the form service and deleted once it has been dealt with, unless statutory retention periods apply. To fend off abuse, the IP address of every submission is kept for 14 days (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR). You can also write to info@nextao.de directly.
Feed and podcast apps
If you subscribe to Podiana through a podcast app, that app fetches the feed and the audio files from this domain. The provider of the app is responsible for the data processing within the app.
Your rights
You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection (Art. 15 to 21 GDPR), and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Write to info@nextao.de with any question.
