Editorial Notice & Fair Use Statement

Egleze Limited · Effective 4 June 2026 · Last updated 13 June 2026
Summary: Egleze operates as a registered digital news agency. We report on, summarise and provide editorial commentary on publicly available podcast content. Our use of short excerpts constitutes fair use under US law and the journalistic exemption under EU/Irish law.

1. Who We Are

Egleze Limited is a digital news agency and information service provider, incorporated in Dublin, Ireland (registered under NACE code 6391 — News Agency Activities). We operate egleze.com, which surfaces the most important moments from independent podcasts — a platform dedicated to news reporting, commentary and synthesis of long-form public discourse across 100+ shows.

We provide a newsroom service for the creator economy: identifying, contextualising and reporting on the most important revelations, announcements and moments from the world's leading podcasts.

2. Journalistic Purpose

Content published on egleze.com is produced for journalistic and editorial purposes. Publication and framing are subject to editorial approval, with review intended to add context and transformative value to the material we report on. We do not republish content in full — we report on it, as a news organisation would report on a press conference, interview or public statement.

Under GDPR Article 85 and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018 (Section 43), Irish law provides specific exemptions for the processing of personal data for journalistic purposes in the public interest. Our analysis of transcripts featuring public figures who have voluntarily made public statements falls within this exemption.

3. Fair Use Compliance (US Copyright Law)

Egleze operates in compliance with Section 107 of the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 107), which provides for fair use of copyrighted material for the purposes of criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Our Fair Use Position

Egleze is designed to drive traffic to original creators, not to replace them. We respect the intellectual property of the creators we report on. Published pages are designed to include:

We actively send traffic to the creators whose content we report on. This is central to our editorial mission and our legal position.

5. DMCA Takedown Policy

Egleze respects intellectual property rights. We have registered a DMCA agent with the United States Copyright Office in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2), providing Egleze with Safe Harbor protection under US law.

If you are a copyright owner and believe your content has been used in a manner that does not constitute fair use, please contact our registered agent with the following information:

6. Guest Disclaimer

Egleze reports what was said and who said it. Our editorial standard is to preserve provenance — who made a statement, in which source context, and how it was represented — not to certify the truth of the underlying claim, which we leave to the reader to weigh. New YouTube approvals are subject to strengthened attribution controls while the historical archive continues to be reviewed. The views, opinions and statements expressed by podcast hosts and guests summarised on this platform are their own and do not represent the editorial stance, opinions or positions of Egleze Limited, its directors, employees or affiliates.

7. Editorial Standards

To report an editorial concern or request a correction, .

8. AI-Assisted Editorial Process

Egleze uses artificial intelligence as a tool in our editorial process, in the same way any modern newsroom uses software tools — to accelerate non-essential work, never to replace editorial judgement. Specifically:

What is published, what is omitted, how a story is framed and which category it belongs to are human editorial decisions. AI assists; editors decide. AI-assisted copy must not invent quotes or facts, and readers can request a correction or additional source context. We believe transparency about AI use is essential for trust in modern journalism.

Global Privacy Policy

GDPR & CCPA · Egleze Limited · Updated 11 October 2026
Plain English Summary: We use account information to sign you in, save your stories and preferences, and deliver the alerts you choose. You can delete your account from Profile or Account. Newsletter subscriptions are optional. The website uses aggregate measurement and optional Google Analytics after consent. The iOS app from version 1.0.1 (build 5) does not load Google Analytics. We do not sell your data or fingerprint your device.

1. Data Controller

Egleze Limited
Registered in Ireland under the Companies Act 2014
Registered Office: Venture Hub, 136 Capel Street, Dublin 1, Ireland
Contact: hello@egleze.com

2. What Data We Collect

Data you provide directly

Mobile app and notifications

If you enable notifications, we store a push token, device platform, registration timestamps and your selected shows or categories with your account. We use these to send relevant story alerts through Apple Push Notification service on iOS. You can turn off alerts in the app or in your device settings. The app stores playback progress and watch history locally on your device. Searches are sent to our service to return results; the app does not create a saved search-history list.

For Sign in with Apple, we securely store an encrypted Apple authorization credential so we can revoke the connection when you delete your account. This credential is restricted to our account service and is not exposed to other users.

Data collected automatically

AI connectors and MCP access

When an AI client calls Egleze's public Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, Egleze records data-minimised operational metadata: time, a random request identifier, the client label or user-agent supplied by the client, requested route or tool, response status, latency, result count, and the Egleze story or episode identifiers and canonical URLs returned. We do not record the user's prompt or search terms, authorization headers, API keys, account identity, or full conversation transcripts in these logs. We use this information to operate, secure, measure and improve the public connector.

Cookies and device storage

Egleze uses local storage for your sign-in session, local app playback history and website analytics preference. Cookie-free aggregate measurement remains active because it does not place an analytics identifier on your device. Optional Google Analytics and a random per-tab analytics session identifier are activated only after you accept. For details and controls, see our .

Data we do NOT collect

3. Legal Basis for Processing

Accounts and requested app features (GDPR Article 6(1)(b))

We process the information needed to provide the account, saved stories and personalised features you request. Notification delivery is optional and depends on your device permission and alert choices. You can withdraw those choices at any time.

Newsletter subscribers (GDPR Article 6(1)(a))

We process your email address on the basis of your explicit consent, given when you subscribe to the Egleze Digest. You may withdraw this consent at any time by clicking "Unsubscribe" in any email we send you.

News aggregation (GDPR Article 6(1)(f) + Section 43 DPA 2018)

For our core news service — analysing publicly available podcast transcripts — we rely on Legitimate Interest and the Journalistic Exemption under the Irish Data Protection Act 2018 (Section 43). We process publicly available audio and visual data to inform the public on matters of politics, health, finance, science and general interest.

Cookie-free aggregate analytics (GDPR Article 6(1)(f))

We use data-minimised aggregate analytics to count page loads, understand acquisition and operate and improve egleze.com. This processing is based on our legitimate interest. The collector validates same-origin requests, filters known automated traffic, removes query strings from page paths, records referral hostnames rather than full referral URLs, and does not store raw IP addresses, full user-agent strings, email addresses or cross-site identifiers.

Public MCP connector operations (GDPR Article 6(1)(f))

We use data-minimised service logs to operate, secure, troubleshoot and measure adoption of the public Egleze MCP connector. These logs exclude prompt and search text, authentication secrets and account identities.

Optional Google Analytics (GDPR Article 6(1)(a))

Google Analytics runs only after you select “Accept analytics”. You can reject it without losing access to the site and can change your choice at any time below.

4. How We Use Your Data

We do not use your account information for advertising or sell or rent your personal data. We share the data needed to operate Egleze with the service providers described below, and where required by law.

Aggregated and anonymised data

We may aggregate analytics and engagement data into anonymised statistical reports that contain no personally identifiable information — for example, "55% of readers in the AI & Tech category clicked through to the original source." Such aggregated and anonymised data may be shared with research partners or used in editorial reporting. By definition, aggregated and anonymised data cannot identify any individual. If you object to your activity being included in such aggregate calculations, contact hello@egleze.com.

5. Data Storage & Security

Data may be stored in the European Union and/or the United States. Where data is transferred outside the EU, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place including Standard Contractual Clauses.

6. Third-Party Services & the YouTube API

Egleze uses the YouTube API Services to retrieve and display publicly available information about podcasts, shows and channels published on YouTube. By using Egleze, you are agreeing to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service.

Google, as a provider of the YouTube API Services, may collect and process data in accordance with its own privacy policy. Your use of any YouTube-derived features on Egleze is therefore also governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

You can review and revoke Egleze's access to data via the YouTube API Services at any time through the Google security settings page. Our YouTube editorial integration processes publicly available content. Separately, if you choose Google sign-in for an Egleze account, we store the basic account information described in section 2.

7. Your Rights (EU/EEA Residents — GDPR)

To exercise any of these rights, contact hello@egleze.com. We will respond within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission at dataprotection.ie.

8. US Resident Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

Egleze does not sell personal information to third parties. To exercise your CCPA rights, contact hello@egleze.com.

9. Data Retention

10. Children's Privacy

Egleze is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a child, please contact us immediately at hello@egleze.com.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify newsletter subscribers of any material changes by email. The date of the most recent update is shown at the top of this page.
