<h3>Integrations</h3>
<h4>Podcast Player</h4>
<p><strong>Selfhost Podcasting</strong> now comes with built-in integration for the popular <strong><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/podcast-player/" rel="ugc">Podcast Player</a></strong> plugin. With this feature enabled, every new podcast episode you publish will automatically include a clean, responsive audio player powered by Podcast Player — right inside your episode post content. This means your listeners can play the episode directly from the page without any extra setup on your part. To use this feature, you must have the <strong>Podcast Player</strong> plugin installed and activated on your WordPress site.</p>
<p>For users who prefer not to add an embedded player automatically, this feature can be easily disabled from the <strong>Selfhost Podcasting</strong> settings. This gives you full control over how your episodes are displayed while still allowing you to take advantage of the seamless integration when you want it. By combining Selfhost Podcasting’s feed creation power with Podcast Player’s playback experience, you can offer your audience a smooth, professional, and mobile-friendly way to enjoy your content.</p>
<h4>Thrid Party Analytics Prefix</h4>
<p><strong>Selfhost Podcasting</strong> now supports adding prefix URLs for third-party podcast analytics services. This feature allows you to easily integrate with services like <strong>Podtrac</strong>, <strong>Blubrry</strong>, and <strong>OP3</strong> by simply entering the prefix URL in the plugin settings. Once added, the prefix will automatically be applied to all your podcast episode media URLs, enabling these services to track and report analytics without requiring any manual edits to your feed.</p>
<p>Currently supported services include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Podtrac</strong> – <a href="https://podtrac.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/48001184827-how-to-manually-add-the-podtrac-prefix-to-your-rss-feed" rel="nofollow ugc">How to manually add the Podtrac prefix to your RSS feed</a></li>
<li><strong>Blubrry</strong> – <a href="https://blubrry.com/support/statistics-documentation/" rel="nofollow ugc">Statistics Documentation</a></li>
<li><strong>OP3</strong> – <a href="https://op3.dev/setup" rel="nofollow ugc">Setup Guide</a></li>
</ul>
<p>This gives you full flexibility to choose the analytics provider you prefer, while keeping your workflow simple and efficient.</p>
<h4>Cloudflare R2 Bucket</h4>
<p><strong>Selfhost Podcasting</strong> now supports seamless integration with Cloudflare R2, allowing you to automatically upload and manage your podcast media files in a Cloudflare-powered S3-compatible storage bucket. Once you enter the required Cloudflare credentials — including your Access Key, Secret Key, Bucket name, and domain — the plugin takes care of the rest.</p>
<p>With this integration enabled:</p>
<p>New podcast episodes will have their media files automatically uploaded to your Cloudflare R2 bucket.</p>
<p>If you delete an episode, its associated media file will be removed from the bucket, keeping your storage clean and in sync with your content.</p>
<p>The process is fully automated — no additional steps are required after setup.</p>
<p>Cloudflare R2 offers a fast, scalable, and cost-effective storage solution, making it easier than ever to host your podcast audio and video files while retaining full control over your data. This integration empowers you to focus on creating content while the plugin handles the technical details.</p>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>Selfhost Podcasting stores podcast and episode data in your WordPress site. Optional integrations can send data to external services only when you enable and configure them.</p>
<h4>Analytics Prefix Integrations</h4>
<p>If you enable a third-party analytics prefix, the plugin rewrites episode media URLs in your feed so listener requests pass through the selected provider before reaching your media host. This can allow the provider to receive request and delivery data associated with podcast downloads, such as the requested URL, time of request, IP-derived or network information, user agent, referrer, range headers, and similar HTTP request metadata, subject to the provider’s own implementation and policies.</p>
<p>Review the privacy terms of any analytics provider you enable:</p>
<ul>
<li>Podtrac Product Privacy Statement: https://analytics.podtrac.com/product-privacy-statement</li>
<li>Blubrry Privacy Policy: https://blubrry.com/about/privacy-policy/</li>
<li>OP3 Privacy Policy: https://op3.dev/privacy</li>
</ul>
<p>You should only enable an analytics prefix if you want that provider involved in delivery measurement for your podcast.</p>
<h4>S3-Compatible Cloud Storage</h4>
<p>If you enable S3-compatible storage, the plugin can upload your media files from your WordPress site to the storage provider you configure. Depending on your setup, the provider may process uploaded objects, object names, file metadata, account identifiers, access credentials, request logs, and related operational or security data under its own terms.</p>
<p>Supported providers may include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cloudflare R2: https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/ and https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/</li>
<li>Amazon S3 / AWS: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/UsingEncryption.html and https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/app/</li>
<li>Wasabi: https://wasabi.com/legal/privacy-policy and https://docs.wasabi.com/v1/docs/data-access-restrictions-in-the-usa-for-wasabi-users</li>
</ul>
<p>Make sure your privacy policy explains which storage provider you use for podcast media and what data is transferred there.</p>
<h4>Private Podcasting</h4>
<p>If the private podcasting extension is enabled in your site build, the plugin may store subscriber names, email addresses, hashed email references, access tokens, token status, expiration dates, and usage records for private feed delivery inside your WordPress database. Private podcasts can be configured to send subscribers private RSS feed links for podcast apps or website-only listening links that require a WordPress login.</p>
<p>Depending on your private podcast settings, guest purchases without an existing WordPress account may be skipped for automatic website-only access or may create a WordPress user account and send the listener a password setup email. The plugin may also send email notifications containing private feed links, website listening links, or token-status updates using your site’s WordPress mail configuration.</p>
<p>Site owners are responsible for deciding how long that data should be retained and for responding to privacy, export, and erasure requests as required in their jurisdiction.</p>
