1. Information We Collect
We strive to collect as little personal information as possible. Here’s what we do collect:

We do not collect or process sensitive information, and we do not require account creation, login credentials, or subscription information directly through this Website.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information collected in the following ways:
- Podcast Content: To review and select submitted topics for discussion on the podcast.
- Site Optimization: To analyze website performance and improve the user experience.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

We implement industry-standard measures to protect your data, including:
