## Information We Collect

### Website Visitors

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics and Plausible Analytics, which collect anonymous, aggregated usage data (page views, referrers, country). Neither service uses cookies, tracks individual users, or collects personal information. Plausible is self-hosted on our own infrastructure.

When you download or stream an episode, standard server logs may record your IP address and user agent. We use this data only for aggregate download statistics. We do not sell or share this data with third parties.

### Phone Callers

If you call in to the show at 208-439-LUKE, your voice may be recorded and included in a published episode. By calling in, you consent to being recorded and broadcast. We do not collect or store your phone number beyond what is necessary for call routing.

We maintain a presence on platforms including Facebook, YouTube, Spotify, and Discord. When you interact with us on these platforms, their respective privacy policies apply. We may use third-party tools to schedule and manage social media posts.
