Gloss (gloss.audio) · Void Labs, Sweden · last updated 2026-07-31

Gloss is made by one person in Sweden, runs on its own servers in the EU (Germany), and uses no advertising, no tracking pixels, no third-party analytics, and no cookies for visitors.

If you just visit

We count page views (which page, when, and the referring site) with no cookies and no identifiers. That's the whole story.

If you join the waitlist

We store the email address you give us, and use it for exactly one thing: writing to you about your access to Gloss. No newsletter, no sharing, no selling — ever. Write to gloss@thatvoid.com and it's deleted.

If you use the app (invite-only)

• Listening data — which episodes you play, your position in them, and which people/places/ideas you encounter. This exists to give you cross-device resume and your personal knowledge graph — it's the product.
• Playlists, folders, subscriptions — stored so they follow you across devices.
• Error reports — if the app breaks in your browser, it tells us what broke (the error and your browser version; never page contents).

All of it lives on our own EU server, tied to your invite (a name you chose or were given — we don't require an email to use the app). It is never shared with anyone, and never used for advertising.

Third parties the app talks to

Your browser fetches article summaries and images from Wikipedia/Wikimedia, and podcast audio from each show's own hosting. Those requests go directly from your device and are subject to those services' policies. Episode transcription and analysis happen server-side via processing providers (currently Groq and DeepSeek) — they see podcast audio/text, never anything about you.

Your data, your call

Ask and we'll show you everything tied to your invite, hand it over, or delete it — gloss@thatvoid.com.
