a. Your Content
You own what you create. When you post content on Taout, you keep full ownership. That said, to make the platform work, you grant us and other users certain rights to use your content as part of the Service.

This license allows us to show your podcasts, replay them, and make them available in features like archives, feeds, and highlights.
You also allow other users to view and interact with your content through Taout. This includes the right to play, share, and engage with your content through features like comments, embeds, or playback. This license applies only within the bounds of the Service and does not allow users to use your content elsewhere.
