This Privacy Policy explains how Imteaz Ahamed (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects information in connection with the Applied Intelligence podcast (also published as Reimagine with AI), the associated pages on imteaz.com, and any related newsletters, forms, and communications (together, the “Podcast Services”). By listening to the podcast, subscribing, or contacting us, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Who we are
The Applied Intelligence podcast is produced and hosted by Imteaz Ahamed. For privacy questions you can reach us at im@imteaz.com.
2. Information we collect
- Information you give us directly — your name, email address, and any message content when you subscribe to updates, complete a contact or sign-up form, submit a question, or apply to appear as a guest.
- Guest information — if you appear on the podcast, the biographical details, recordings, and materials you provide for the episode.
- Listening and usage data — when you stream or download episodes through third-party platforms (such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and our podcast host), those platforms and we may receive aggregated or device-level data such as plays, downloads, approximate location, device type, and listening duration.
- Website and analytics data — when you visit imteaz.com, we may automatically collect your IP address, browser and device information, pages viewed, and referring source through cookies and similar technologies.
3. How we use information
- To produce, distribute, and improve the podcast and related content.
- To send newsletters, episode updates, and information you have requested.
- To respond to your enquiries and coordinate guest appearances.
- To understand audience engagement through aggregated analytics.
- To maintain the security of, and comply with legal obligations relating to, the Podcast Services.
4. How information is shared
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with:
- Service providers who help us operate the Podcast Services — for example our podcast hosting platform, email/newsletter provider, website host, and analytics providers — who process data on our behalf.
- Distribution platforms (such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube), which operate under their own privacy policies once you listen there.
- Legal and safety recipients, where disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, or property.
5. Third-party platforms
When you listen on a third-party app or click a link to an external site, your information is handled under that provider’s privacy policy, not this one. We encourage you to review the policies of the platforms you use.
6. Cookies and analytics
imteaz.com uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the site and understand how it is used. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; some features may not function correctly if cookies are disabled.
7. Data retention
We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the Podcast Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, email im@imteaz.com. You can unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link in any message.
9. Children’s privacy
The Podcast Services are intended for a general, adult audience and are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
10. Data security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. International transfers
Our service providers and distribution platforms may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision, and material changes will be posted on this page.
