Privacy policy
Effective November 14, 2026
The short version
- We will never sell your data. Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone.
- We only use it to run Every Last Word, to turn your episodes into content, sign you in and handle your plan.
- When you close your account, we delete it. Your episodes, transcripts, content, images and show settings are removed.
What we collect
- Your account: your email address and your password, which we store only in scrambled (hashed) form, so we can't read it.
- Your show settings: show name, voice, topics, audience details, brand colors, and any cover art or headshot you upload.
- Your episodes: the links, audio, video or transcripts you add, the transcript we make from them, and the content we create for you (newsletters, posts, quote cards, memes, pitch briefs, summaries and photos you pick for memes).
- Your plan: which plan you're on and the reference numbers Stripe gives us. We never see or store your card number. Stripe handles payment details.
- Basic account activity: when you signed up and last signed in, and how many episodes you've used this month, so plan limits work.
- Waitlist: if you asked to hear about paid plans, your email and show name.
How we use it
Only to provide Every Last Word: making your content kits, signing you in, running your plan and billing, answering you when you contact us, and keeping the service secure. We don't run ads, we don't use advertising or tracking cookies, and we don't share your data for anyone else's marketing.
Services that help us run the app
A few trusted companies do specific jobs for us. Each one only gets what it needs for that job:
- Render hosts the app and its database.
- Cloudflare runs our domain and protects the site from attacks.
- AssemblyAI turns audio and video into a transcript. As soon as the transcript is ready, we ask AssemblyAI to delete it and the audio from their systems, and we delete the audio file from ours.
- Anthropic (Claude) writes your content from your transcript and show settings. Anthropic's commercial terms say it doesn't train its AI models on this data.
- Stripe processes payments and manages subscriptions.
- Pixabay supplies stock photos for memes. Only the search words are sent to Pixabay, never your name, email or episode.
We'd only share data beyond this if the law required it, and we'd tell you unless we were legally not allowed to.
Cookies
We use one cookie to keep you signed in. Cloudflare may add a security cookie that helps block bots. That's all: no advertising or tracking cookies.
Deleting your data
- You can delete any episode or summary at any time from the app.
- You can close your account in Show settings → Delete my account. That removes your account, episodes, transcripts, content, images, show settings and waitlist entry from our database right away. It also cancels any subscription and deletes your customer record at Stripe.
- Stripe keeps records of past payments that it's required to keep by law. Copies of deleted data can stay in our hosting provider's encrypted backups for a short time until those backups expire.
Keeping it safe
The site only works over a secure (https) connection, passwords are stored hashed, and only your account can see your episodes and content.
Children
Every Last Word is for podcasters and businesses and isn't meant for children under 13. We don't knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If the change is important, we'll tell you in the app before it takes effect.
Questions
Email [email protected] and you'll hear back from a real person.
