Podcasters collect listener data through hosting platforms, email newsletters, and sponsor tracking links. If you use dynamic ad insertion, your hosting platform may collect granular listener location and device data to serve targeted ads. Podcast websites often embed players from third-party platforms (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Buzzsprout) that set their own cookies and collect their own data. Canada's federal private sector privacy law, PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act), applies to commercial activities across Canada.

Canada's federal private sector privacy law, PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act), applies to commercial activities across Canada. Quebec's Law 25 (Bill 64) has introduced GDPR-like requirements for Quebec residents. Canada's Privacy Commissioner can investigate complaints, and courts can award damages for serious privacy breaches.

Under PIPEDA, consumer protection laws may require you to disclose your refund terms clearly before purchase. Even where not strictly required, a transparent Refund Policy reduces chargebacks, builds customer trust, and protects you from disputes.
A Refund Policy for Podcast should specify: the refund window, eligible and non-eligible items, the process for requesting a refund, how refunds are processed, and any restocking fees. For digital products, be explicit about access-based non-refundability.
Under PIPEDA, digital products can be non-refundable once they have been accessed or downloaded, provided users were clearly informed of this before purchase. You must obtain explicit consent acknowledging the non-refundability of digital goods.
