Volo Terms of Use

Last updated: 20 October 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Fatih Ay, who runs Volo ("we", "us"). They apply to the Volo app and its service. By creating an account or signing in, you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use Volo. How we handle personal data is explained in our privacy policy.

1. Who can use Volo

• You must be at least 16 years old.
• Give true details for your account and keep your password safe. You are responsible for what happens in your account.
• Do not use someone else's account, and do not create a new account to get around a block or a removal.

2. Your content

You keep the rights to the recordings, episodes, images, comments and messages you create. So that we can run Volo, you give us a free, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to store, copy and process your content (for example to transcribe it or edit it in Studio) and to show it to the people you share it with, for as long as it is on Volo. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, apart from backup copies, which are overwritten within 14 days.

A public show has a feed link (RSS). If you add it to podcast apps such as Apple Podcasts or Spotify, they read your public episodes from it and may keep their own copies. Removing an episode or making it private takes it out of the feed; the apps follow their own schedules and rules for removing it.

Upload only what you have the rights to, including music and images.

3. Recording with other people

• Tell everyone in a session that it is recorded, and record only people who agree to it.
• Do not publish a recording of someone who asked you not to.

4. No tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users

We do not tolerate objectionable content or abusive behaviour on Volo. You must not post, upload, send or record anything that:

• harasses, bullies, threatens or intimidates anyone;
• attacks people for their race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or a similar trait;
• is sexually explicit, or sexualises children in any way;
• promotes or shows violence, terrorism, self-harm or other illegal acts;
• is spam or a scam, or misleads people about who you are;
• shares someone's private information without their consent;
• breaks someone else's copyright, trademark or other rights;
• contains malware, or tries to break, overload or get around the security of Volo.

5. Reporting, blocking and moderation

• In the app you can report a comment, an episode or a person, and block a person. A blocked person can no longer message you or comment on your episodes. You no longer see their comments, and their episodes no longer appear in your feed or search.
• We aim to review every report within 72 hours. You can also write to support@yourvolo.com.
• If content breaks these terms, we remove it. We may also suspend or close the account of the person who posted it, without warning when the breach is serious or repeated.
• We may report illegal content to the authorities.

6. AI features

Studio can transcribe your recordings and suggest edits, titles and summaries with automated tools. These suggestions can be wrong. Check them before you publish: you are responsible for what you publish.

7. Ending your use of Volo

You can stop using Volo and delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete account. We may suspend or close your account if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or if we stop offering Volo. Where we can, we tell you first.

8. Our service

We work to keep Volo available and your recordings safe, but we cannot promise that it always works without interruptions or errors. Keep your own copy of recordings that matter to you. We may change or remove features.

9. Liability

We are liable without limit for damage caused on purpose or by gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and wherever the law makes us liable regardless of fault. For slight negligence we are liable only when we break a duty that is essential for Volo to work at all, and then only for the typical damage that could be foreseen. Otherwise we are not liable for slight negligence.

10. App stores

If you got Volo from the Apple App Store or Google Play, these terms are between you and us, not Apple or Google. Apple and Google are not responsible for Volo or its content. The store's own terms also apply; on the App Store that includes Apple's standard licence agreement for apps.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example when we add features or the law changes. We will update the date above and tell you about important changes in the app or by email before they apply. If you do not agree with them, you can delete your account at any time.

12. Law and contact

German law applies. If you are a consumer living in another country, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of that country. Contact: Fatih Ay, Rostocker Str. 52, 70376 Stuttgart, Germany, support@yourvolo.com.
