Privacy Policy for Radio OnAir
# Privacy Policy for Radio OnAir
**Effective Date: October 05, 2025**
ByteStream Labs ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Radio OnAir mobile application (the "App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our App.
By using the App, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
## 1. Information We Collect
We minimize data collection to provide a seamless listening experience. The App does not require user registration or accounts, so we do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, or phone number.
### a. Automatically Collected Information
- **Device and Usage Data**: When you use the App, we may collect non-personal information such as your device type, operating system version, IP address (anonymized), app version, and usage statistics (e.g., stations played, playback duration). This helps us improve app performance and debug issues.
- **Advertising Data**: We integrate Google Mobile Ads to display banner and interstitial ads. Google may collect anonymized data like device identifiers, ad interactions, and approximate location (derived from IP) for ad personalization. We do not access this data directly.
- **Connectivity and Performance Logs**: We check your network connectivity to handle offline mode and cache stations locally. No location data is collected beyond what's needed for ad serving.
### b. Local Storage
- We use SharedPreferences to store your favorites and recent played stations locally on your device. This data is not transmitted to our servers and is only used to personalize your experience within the App.
### c. No Sensitive Data
We do not collect sensitive information such as health data, financial details, or precise geolocation.
## 2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information to:
- Provide core functionality, such as streaming radio stations and managing playback queues.
- Enable offline caching of station lists for better user experience.
- Display relevant ads through third-party services like Google Ads.
- Analyze app usage to improve features, fix bugs, and ensure compatibility.
- Handle in-app updates and error reporting.
We do not use your information for marketing purposes or sell it to third parties.
## 3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties. Limited sharing occurs only as follows:
- **Service Providers**: We share anonymized data with trusted third-party services (e.g., Google for ads and Firebase for fetching public station metadata). These providers are contractually obligated to use data only for the services they provide to us and to protect it.
- **Legal Requirements**: We may disclose information if required by law, such as in response to a subpoena or government request.
- **Business Transfers**: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
## 4. Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include:
- Encryption for data in transit (e.g., HTTPS for Firebase fetches).
- Local storage encryption where supported by the device.
- Regular security audits.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
## 5. Children's Privacy
The App is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at the address below.
## 6. Third-Party Links and Services
The App may contain links to third-party websites or services (e.g., ad networks). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
## 7. Your Rights and Choices
- **Opt-Out of Ads**: You can manage personalized ads through your device settings (e.g., Google Ad Settings on Android).
- **Local Data**: You can clear app data via device settings, which will reset favorites and recent plays.
- **Access and Deletion**: Since we collect minimal data, contact us to request access or deletion of any stored information.
Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under laws like GDPR (EU) or CCPA (California). To exercise these, email us.
## 8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of changes by posting the new policy in the App or via an in-app notice. Changes are effective immediately upon posting. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
