learn.fm makes podcast episodes on whatever you want to learn. To do that, it needs a few things from you, and it sends some of them to the services that write and voice your episodes. This page says what, why, and to whom.
Two permissions
Before your first conversation with your host, the app asks for two permissions. You can change both on the You tab at any time.
Use what I write to make my episodes. Required to make episodes.
What you write to your host goes to third-party AI services, listed below, to plan, write and voice your episodes. Without it, you can still listen to the episodes already on air.
Use how I use learn.fm to improve it. Optional, off unless you turn it on.
We look at how the app is used (which screens, which episodes are played and finished) and may read conversations and episodes to improve the host and the writer. Refusing changes nothing in the app.
What we collect
- Your account. An account id made by the app. When you sign in with Apple, Apple's user id for you. We ask Apple for no email and no name.
- What you tell your host. Your first name, the topics you ask about, your answers, and the outlines your host proposes.
- What your host remembers. Up to three short facts about you per conversation, never about health, money, politics, religion or your private life. You can see and delete each one in the app.
- Your episodes. Their scripts and audio, and what each one cost to make.
- Your choices. Your host, and the two permissions above.
We don't collect your email, location, contacts or microphone. There are no ads, and we don't sell your data.
Who it goes to
| Service | What it gets | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Anthropic (Claude) United States | What you write to your host, your first name, and what your host remembers | To play your host and write your episode |
| ElevenLabs United States | The episode script (it never includes your name) | To voice the episode |
| Cloudflare | Everything above, stored | Hosts the app's server, its database and the audio |
Nothing goes to Anthropic or ElevenLabs before you give the first permission. Anthropic and ElevenLabs are in the United States. Anthropic relies on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses, in its data processing addendum. ElevenLabs is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
How long we keep it
Until you delete it. Deleting a memory or an episode removes it at once, audio included. Delete my accounton the You tab removes everything: your account, conversations, episodes and their audio, memories and name, and ends learn.fm's access to your Apple ID.
Your rights
You can access, correct, delete or take a copy of your data, withdraw either permission, and object to how it's used. Write to [email protected]. You can also complain to the CNIL (cnil.fr).
Children
learn.fm isn't meant for children under 15.
