A UrsaWorx LLC application
Effective Date: May 4, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how PodShocker (“the app,” “PodShocker”) handles your information. PodShocker is developed and published by UrsaWorx LLC (“UrsaWorx,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Tennessee limited liability company.
This policy applies only to PodShocker. Other products and services offered by UrsaWorx are governed by their own separate privacy policies.
The short version: PodShocker does not collect, store, sell, share, or transmit any personal information about you. The app runs on your device and, when you choose to use them, connects directly to third-party services. UrsaWorx operates no servers that receive your data.
1. Information PodShocker Collects
None.
PodShocker does not send any user data to UrsaWorx. UrsaWorx operates no backend service that receives, processes, or stores information about PodShocker users. We do not collect:
• Names, email addresses, or contact information
• Account credentials or passwords
• Device identifiers, advertising IDs, or IP addresses
• Location data
• Usage analytics, telemetry, or crash reports
• Podcast subscriptions, listening history, or content preferences
• Any other personal or behavioral information
PodShocker does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.
2. How PodShocker Stores Your Data
All data created or used by PodShocker is stored locally on your device. This includes:
• Podcast subscriptions: The list of podcasts you subscribe to and their associated feed URLs, stored on your device.
• Episode metadata and RSS feed data: Fetched directly from podcast publishers and cached on your device.
• Downloaded episodes: Audio files stored in the app’s local storage on your device.
• Listening history, bookmarks, and playback positions: Stored on your device.
• Queue and playlist data: Stored on your device.
• Settings and preferences: Stored on your device.
This data does not leave your device unless you explicitly choose to back it up to a cloud service you connect (see Section 3).
3. Third-Party Cloud Storage (Optional)
PodShocker offers optional integrations with third-party cloud storage services so you can browse audio files you already have stored there, or back up your downloaded episodes to your own cloud account. These integrations are entirely optional and only activate when you sign in to a provider from within PodShocker. Supported providers are:
• Microsoft OneDrive
• Dropbox
• Apple iCloud Drive
When you choose to connect one of these services:
• Authentication happens directly between your device and the provider. PodShocker uses the provider’s official OAuth flow. Your username and password are entered into the provider’s own sign-in screen and never pass through PodShocker or UrsaWorx.
• Access tokens are stored only on your device. Once you authorize the app, the provider issues an access token to PodShocker. This token is stored securely in your device’s Keychain and is never transmitted to UrsaWorx.
• Direct requests to the provider. When PodShocker plays, downloads, or uploads a file, the request travels from your device straight to the cloud provider. UrsaWorx is not involved in these requests and has no visibility into your files or activity.
• You can disconnect at any time. Sign out within PodShocker to remove the access token from your device. For a complete disconnection, revoke PodShocker’s access from within the provider’s account settings.
Your use of these third-party services is governed by their own privacy policies and terms. We recommend you review them:
• Microsoft: https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement
• Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/privacy
• Apple: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
4. Podcast Content and RSS Feeds
PodShocker fetches podcast RSS feeds, show artwork, and audio files directly from the servers that host them — typically the podcast’s publisher or their hosting provider. When you subscribe to a podcast, browse episodes, or stream or download an episode, that request is made from your device to the publisher’s server.
Podcast publishers and their hosting providers may log these requests (including your IP address and user agent) in accordance with their own policies. UrsaWorx does not operate any server that proxies, logs, or inspects these requests, and receives no data from them.
5. Purchases and Subscriptions
Any in-app purchases or subscriptions offered by PodShocker are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. UrsaWorx does not receive, store, or process your payment information. Apple provides us only with aggregate, anonymized sales data. Apple’s handling of your payment data is governed by Apple’s privacy policy.
6. Children’s Privacy
PodShocker is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children, because we do not collect information at all. Parents and guardians should be aware that podcast content accessed through the app is provided by third-party publishers and is not curated or filtered by UrsaWorx.
7. Your Rights and Choices
Because PodShocker does not transmit personal information to UrsaWorx, there is nothing on our servers for us to access, modify, export, or delete on your behalf. All of your app data lives on your device and remains under your control. You can:
• Delete PodShocker to remove all locally stored app data, including subscriptions, downloads, and cached cloud tokens
• Sign out of any connected cloud services from within the app at any time
• Revoke PodShocker’s access to cloud services from within those providers’ account settings
• Delete individual downloaded episodes or clear all downloads from within the app
8. Security
Sensitive information stored on your device, specifically cloud service access tokens, is stored in the iOS Keychain, which provides encrypted, OS-managed secure storage. Because no user data is transmitted to UrsaWorx, there is no server-side PodShocker data that could be exposed in a breach on our end.
No system is entirely immune to risk. Keeping your device’s operating system current, using a device passcode, and being cautious about which apps you grant cloud service access to are the most effective steps you can take to protect the data on your device.
9. Changes to This Policy
If we change our approach — for example, if a future PodShocker feature would involve collecting any information — we will update this policy and clearly disclose what changed before the change takes effect. The “Effective Date” above will be updated when changes are made. Continued use of PodShocker after the effective date of a revised policy constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

An UrsaWorx LLC application
Effective Date: April 18, 2026
Welcome to PodShocker. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you and UrsaWorx LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company (“UrsaWorx,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your use of the PodShocker mobile application and any related services we provide (collectively, the “App”).
By downloading, installing, or using PodShocker, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
These Terms apply only to PodShocker. Other products offered by UrsaWorx are governed by their own separate terms.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use PodShocker. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the App only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
By using the App, you represent that you meet these requirements and that you have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.
2. License to Use the App
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, UrsaWorx grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download and use PodShocker on Apple devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.
This license is granted under the terms of Apple’s standard End User License Agreement (EULA) for apps distributed through the App Store, except where these Terms expressly modify it.
3. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the App, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law
Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App
Remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices, labels, or marks in the App
Use the App to violate any law, regulation, or third-party right, including copyright and other intellectual property rights
Use the App to access, subscribe to, download, or distribute content you do not have the legal right to access
Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the App, its features, or any connected third-party services
Use the App’s cloud storage integrations in a way that violates the terms of the connected cloud provider
Use the App to transmit malware, viruses, or other harmful code
4. Podcast Content
PodShocker is a podcast client that lets you discover, subscribe to, and play audio content published by third parties. UrsaWorx does not host, produce, curate, edit, or endorse any podcast content accessed through the App. All podcast feeds, episodes, show notes, artwork, and related content are provided by their respective publishers.
UrsaWorx makes no representations or warranties about the accuracy, completeness, legality, quality, appropriateness, or availability of any podcast content accessed through the App. You access podcast content at your own discretion and risk.
Copyright and content concerns: If you believe a podcast accessible through PodShocker infringes your copyright or violates your rights, please contact the publisher of that podcast directly or the hosting provider that serves the RSS feed. UrsaWorx does not host podcast content and is not able to remove it.
5. Third-Party Cloud Services
PodShocker offers optional integrations with Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, and Apple iCloud Drive so you can browse your own audio files or back up your downloaded episodes to your own cloud account.
These integrations are provided as a convenience. Your use of any third-party service is governed by that service’s own terms and privacy policies, which you accept when you connect your account. UrsaWorx is not responsible for:
The availability, performance, or continuity of third-party cloud services
Changes to third-party service terms, pricing, or features
Data loss, corruption, or unauthorized access occurring on third-party services
Charges or storage quotas imposed by third-party providers
You are solely responsible for maintaining your own backups of any data you consider important.
6. In-App Purchases
PodShocker may offer optional one-time in-app purchases that unlock additional features (“Premium Features”). All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store and are governed by Apple’s Terms of Service and your existing agreement with Apple.
One-time purchases. Premium Features are sold as one-time purchases, not subscriptions. Once purchased, they remain available to you on devices signed in to the same Apple ID, subject to Apple’s App Store policies regarding purchase restoration.
Refunds. Apple handles all refund requests for App Store purchases. If you wish to request a refund, you must do so through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. UrsaWorx does not process refunds directly.
Future changes. UrsaWorx may modify, add, or discontinue Premium Features over time. If we discontinue a Premium Feature you have purchased in a way that materially reduces its functionality, we will provide reasonable notice through the App.
Pricing. Prices for Premium Features are displayed at the point of purchase and may change. Price changes do not affect Premium Features you have already purchased.
7. Your Data and Privacy
Our handling of your information is described in the PodShocker Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. In summary: PodShocker does not collect or transmit personal information to UrsaWorx. All app data lives on your device, and any cloud service integrations connect your device directly to the providers you choose.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and the credentials you use for any third-party services you connect to PodShocker.
8. Intellectual Property
PodShocker, including its name, logo, design, code, graphics, and all associated intellectual property, is owned by UrsaWorx LLC and protected by United States and international intellectual property laws. These Terms grant you a license to use the App, not ownership of it.
“PodShocker” and “UrsaWorx” are trademarks of UrsaWorx LLC. You may not use these marks without our prior written permission.
Podcast titles, artwork, descriptions, and audio content displayed in the App are the property of their respective owners.
9. Feedback
If you send us feedback, suggestions, bug reports, or feature requests regarding PodShocker, you grant UrsaWorx a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that feedback for any purpose without obligation to you. You are not required to submit feedback, and submitting feedback does not entitle you to any compensation.
10. Updates and Changes to the App
UrsaWorx may release updates, modifications, or new versions of PodShocker from time to time. Updates may add, change, or remove features. Some updates may be required for continued use of the App or for continued access to certain features.
We may also modify, suspend, or discontinue the App or any part of it at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of material changes when practical.
11. Disclaimers
THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. To the fullest extent permitted by law, UrsaWorx disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.
UrsaWorx does not warrant that the App will meet your requirements, that it will be compatible with any particular podcast, RSS feed, or third-party service, or that any defects will be corrected. You use the App at your own risk.
12. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, URSAWORX LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, loss of podcast subscriptions, inability to access cloud-stored files, or interruption of service, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the App.
UrsaWorx’s total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to the App or these Terms shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you have paid to UrsaWorx for PodShocker in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) five U.S. dollars ($10.00).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, UrsaWorx’s liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless UrsaWorx LLC and its members, officers, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your violation of these Terms; (b) your misuse of the App; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual property rights; or (d) your violation of any applicable law.
14. Termination
You may stop using PodShocker at any time by deleting the App from your device.
UrsaWorx may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or if we discontinue the App.
The following provisions survive termination of these Terms: Sections 7 (Your Data and Privacy), 8 (Intellectual Property), 9 (Feedback), 11 (Disclaimers), 12 (Limitation of Liability), 13 (Indemnification), 15 (Governing Law), and 17 (Miscellaneous).
15. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. You and UrsaWorx agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of PodShocker shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Davidson County, Tennessee, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from pursuing a claim in small claims court where jurisdiction and venue are otherwise appropriate.
16. Apple App Store Additional Terms
You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and UrsaWorx, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). Apple is not responsible for PodShocker or its content. The following additional terms apply to your use of PodShocker on Apple devices:
Scope of license: The license granted in these Terms is limited to use of PodShocker on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Apple App Store Terms of Service.
Maintenance and support: UrsaWorx, not Apple, is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for PodShocker.
Warranty: In the event of any failure of PodShocker to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price of the App (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App.
Product claims: UrsaWorx, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims you or any third party may have relating to PodShocker, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.
Intellectual property claims: In the event of any third-party claim that PodShocker or your use of it infringes that party’s intellectual property rights, UrsaWorx, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
Third-party beneficiary: You acknowledge that Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance, Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
17. Miscellaneous
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the PodShocker Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and UrsaWorx regarding PodShocker and supersede any prior agreements.
Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Effective Date” above and provide reasonable notice, such as through the App. Your continued use of PodShocker after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce it later.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. UrsaWorx may assign these Terms without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
No agency. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created by these Terms.
