BYTESTREAM LABS is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the Christian Malayalam Radios mobile application . Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the App.
We may collect the following types of information when you use the App:
User Preferences: The App stores your preferences, such as favorite radio stations and recently played stations, locally on your device using SharedPreferences. This data is not transmitted to our servers unless explicitly required for specific features (e.g., syncing with a user account, if implemented).
Authentication Data (if applicable): If you sign in using Firebase Authentication (e.g., for premium features), we may collect your email address or other authentication-related data provided by the authentication provider.
Usage Data: We may collect anonymized data about how you interact with the App, such as which radio stations you listen to, playback duration, and feature usage (e.g., sleep timer, shuffle). This data is collected to improve the App's functionality and user experience.
Device Information: We may collect information about your device, including the device type, operating system version, and unique device identifiers (e.g., for connectivity checks or app updates).
Network Information: The App uses the connectivity_plus package to check your network status (e.g., Wi-Fi, mobile data, or offline) to optimize data fetching and playback.
Firebase Firestore: The App retrieves radio station data (e.g., station name, audio URL, image URL) from Firebase Firestore. We do not store personal information in Firestore, but usage metrics may be collected by Firebase for analytics purposes.
In-App Updates: The in_app_update package may collect anonymized data to check for app updates, as per Google Play's policies.
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
To Provide and Maintain the App: To stream radio stations, save your preferences (e.g., favorites, recent stations), and ensure smooth playback using just_audio and audio_service.
To Improve the App: To analyze usage patterns and optimize features, such as caching station data for offline use or enhancing the user interface.
To Manage Updates: To notify you of available app updates via the in_app_update package and ensure you have access to the latest features.
To Ensure Functionality: To check network connectivity and fetch station data from Firebase Firestore only when necessary.
To Support Premium Features (if applicable): If in-app purchases or subscriptions are implemented, we may use authentication data to verify your premium status.
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information as follows:
Service Providers: We use third-party services (e.g., Firebase by Google) to host station data and provide analytics. These providers may have access to non-personal data as part of their services, subject to their own privacy policies.
Firebase Firestore: Stores radio station data and may collect usage metrics.
Firebase Authentication (if implemented): Manages user sign-in and premium access.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, court order, or other legal process.
Business Transfers: If BYTESTREAM LABS is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, but we will notify you before any such transfer occurs.
Local Storage: Your preferences (e.g., favorite stations, recent stations) are stored locally on your device using SharedPreferences and are not transmitted to our servers unless explicitly required for syncing (if implemented).
Cloud Storage: Radio station data is stored in Firebase Firestore, hosted on Google's secure servers. We do not store personal information in Firestore.
Security Measures: We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data, such as encryption for Firebase communications and secure authentication protocols. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention: Locally stored preferences remain on your device until you uninstall the App or clear its data. Cloud-based data (e.g., Firebase analytics) is retained as per Google's data retention policies.
Access and Control: You can manage your preferences (e.g., favorites, recent stations) directly within the App. To clear this data, you can uninstall the App or clear its storage via your device settings.
Opt-Out of Analytics: You can opt out of Firebase Analytics by disabling analytics collection in your device settings or through Firebase's privacy controls.
Do Not Track: The App does not respond to "Do Not Track" signals, as it does not engage in behavioral tracking for advertising purposes.
The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at the email address below.
The App uses Firebase, which may store and process data on servers located outside your country, including in the United States. By using the App, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries that may have different data protection laws than your country of residence. We ensure that such transfers comply with applicable laws and that appropriate safeguards are in place.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy in the App or by other means (e.g., a notification). The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy indicates when it was last revised. Your continued use of the App after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
