CarveCast app privacy
Last updated: 2 November 2026. This policy describes the native CarveCast iPhone and iPad app, operated by Adam Matthews. Contact: adam@thehouse.tv.
No app account or cross-app tracking
The app does not require an account and includes no third-party advertising or analytics SDK. It does not request your location, contacts, microphone, camera or health information, and does not access an advertising identifier.
What stays on your device
Saved items, visited places, listening positions, trip dates, packing choices and journal notes are stored in the app’s protected local files. They are not uploaded to CarveCast. Standard Apple device backup settings may include those files. Downloaded podcast audio is excluded from backups.
Network connections
The app fetches its catalogue, photographs, podcast audio and films from CarveCast’s own QNAP hosting. An IP address is needed to deliver each file. The HTTP media and catalogue service is configured without request-access logging, and the app sends no separate analytics events. Operational or security records may be generated when investigating faults or protecting the network. The app does not attach an account identifier or advertising identifier to media requests.
Links and social media
Instagram posts, official resort information and website pages open externally. Those services have their own privacy policies, cookies and sign-in choices. Opening a link is optional.
Downloads and storage
Podcast downloads happen when you request them. They use your connection and device storage. You can remove them from the episode page. The app also keeps a local catalogue so reading and planning can work without internet access.
Deleting local information
My trip includes a control to clear plans, journal entries, saved items, visited places and listening positions. Downloaded audio can be removed separately. Removing the app removes its local container from the device; manage any Apple backups through your device’s backup settings.
Support messages
If you email for help, the information you choose to send is used to respond and troubleshoot. Do not send passwords or sensitive personal records. You can contact Adam to ask about information held in support correspondence.
