1. Overview
Radio App ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our application operates and confirms that we do not collect, store, or share your personal data. We comply with applicable data protection regulations, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
2. Applicability & Content
All Ages: Radio App is designed for users of all age groups.
Free & Unlimited: The App is completely free to use, contains no in-app purchases, and has no usage limitations.
Ad-Free: The App does not contain third-party advertising SDKs or tracking cookies.
3. Information We Collect
Personal Data:
We do not collect, process, or store any personal information (such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, or location data) on our servers.
Local Device Data (Preferences):
To function correctly, the App stores small amounts of data locally on your device using "Local Storage." This includes:
Preferences: Your volume settings (volume, previousVolume).
Favorites: The list of radio stations you have marked as favorites (favorites).
State: The last station you played to allow for quick resumption (lastPlayedStation).
Scope: This data resides strictly on your device. We do not have access to this data, and it is never uploaded to our servers.
4. Use of Information
App Functionality: Local data is used solely to remember your settings (volume, favorites) and to resume playback when you reopen the App.
Direct Streaming: When you play a radio station, your device connects directly to the radio station's public stream URL. The App acts only as a player; we do not intercept or record the audio stream.
5. Third-Party Services
Radio Station Streams:
When you click to play a station, your device establishes a direct connection to that third-party radio station's server to fetch the audio. Technically, the radio station provider may see your IP address as part of the standard connection process required to deliver the audio stream. We do not control these third-party providers.
Station Directory:
The App fetches the list of available radio stations from a public repository or configuration file. This fetch request does not transmit any user-identifiable data.
6. Data Security
We implement robust technical controls to protect the integrity of the App:
Local Storage: User preferences are sandbox-protected within your device's storage.
Secure Connections: Where supported by the radio stations, streams are played via secure protocols (HTTPS).
No Server Database: Since we do not maintain a user database, there is no risk of a data breach involving your personal account information.
7. Data Retention
On Our Servers: We retain zero user data.
On Your Device: Your favorites and preferences remain on your device until you manually clear your browser/app cache or uninstall the App.
8. Children’s Privacy
Radio App welcomes users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personal data from minors. Since the App does not collect data at all, it is safe for use by children. However, please note that we do not control the audio content broadcast by the third-party radio stations.
9. Your Rights
Under GDPR and applicable laws, you have rights regarding your data. Since we do not hold your data, many of these (like "Right to Erasure" from our servers) are automatically fulfilled by the fact that we possess no data to begin with.
Control: You have full control over your local data. You can delete your preferences and favorites at any time by clearing your App data or uninstalling the App.
10. Policy Updates
We may revise this Privacy Policy at any time. The "Last Updated" date will indicate when changes were made. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
By downloading, installing, or using Radio App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Privacy Policy.
