• Co-hosts, producers, and production team members who need access to prepare, record, edit, or promote your episode.​

• Sponsors and advertising partners, who may receive aggregated or de-identified data about episode performance, or, with your explicit consent, may be provided with your contact information for partnership opportunities.​

• The public, as your name, likeness, voice, biographical information, and recorded content will be published and distributed widely as part of the Show.​

5. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the following rights:​

Access and Correction

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you and ask us to correct inaccuracies (for example, updating your bio or contact details).​

Deletion or Restriction

You may request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal and contractual limitations. Please note that once an episode is published, we may not be able to remove all copies from third-party platforms, archives, or audience devices.​

Withdrawal of Consent

If you withdraw consent before recording, we will not proceed with your appearance. If you attempt to withdraw consent after signing a guest release and after recording, your ability to do so may be limited or unavailable under the terms of the signed release.​

Opt-Out of Promotional Use

You may request that we limit use of your appearance in future promotional campaigns, though this may not apply to content already distributed.​

Confidentiality Requests

If sensitive or confidential information is discussed, we will handle it according to any separate confidentiality agreement or documented understanding established before or during the recording.​

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information provided at the end of this policy.​

6. Data Security and Retention

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect guest information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.​

Retention Period

We retain guest information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including indefinite archival of published episodes and associated promotional materials. Administrative and booking data may be retained for a shorter period unless needed for legal or operational purposes.​

7. Recording Consent and Release

By participating as a guest, you confirm that:​

• You understand that the recording session will be audio and/or video recorded.​

• You grant us permission to use, edit, reproduce, distribute, and publicly display your voice, name, image, likeness, biographical information, and statements made during the recording in any format and on any platform, now or in the future, without further compensation or approval.​

• You waive any right to inspect or approve the final edited content before publication, unless otherwise agreed in writing.​

• You acknowledge that you have no ownership rights in the recorded episode or derivative works, and that copyright and all intellectual property rights belong to Rebel Nation Media and Broadcasting, except for any pre-existing materials you provide (such as your headshot or bio).​

These terms are typically formalized in a separate Guest Release Form that you sign as part of the booking process.​

8. AI and Technology Use

Rebel Nation Media and Broadcasting may use AI tools and automated technologies to assist with:​

• Transcription and closed captioning of your recorded interview.​

• Summarization and generation of show notes, social media posts, or promotional copy.​

• Editing, enhancement, or cleanup of audio and video (for example, noise reduction, color correction).​

We do not use AI to create deepfakes, manipulate your words to change their meaning, or clone your voice for unauthorized purposes.​

If you have concerns about specific AI uses, please raise them during the booking process.​

9. Third-Party Platforms and Distribution

Your episode will be distributed on third-party platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and social media networks. Each platform has its own privacy policy and terms of service governing how they handle content and user data. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties.​

Once an episode is published, it may be downloaded, shared, and redistributed by listeners and viewers, and we cannot control further use of publicly available content.​

10. Minors and Parental Consent

Guests under the age of 18 must have written consent from a parent or legal guardian before participating. The parent or guardian will be required to sign the guest release form on behalf of the minor and acknowledge this Privacy Policy.​
