RewindBook ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information about you when you use our mobile application, Apna Radio (the "App").

**1. Information We Collect**
We do not collect any personally identifiable information from you directly, such as your name, email address, or phone number. The information we collect is primarily technical and is used to improve the App's functionality and to serve advertisements.
The types of information collected include:
* **Device Information:** We may collect non-personal information about your device, such as device model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers.
* **Advertising ID:** We use Google's Advertising ID to serve personalized ads through our advertising partner, Google AdMob. This is a unique, user-resettable ID for advertising.
* **Usage Data:** We may collect information about how you use the App, such as the stations you listen to, features you use, and session duration. This data is aggregated and anonymous and helps us understand user behavior to improve the App.

* **To Improve the App:** To understand how our users interact with the App so we can fix bugs and enhance features.
* **To Serve Advertisements:** We partner with Google AdMob to display ads within the App. AdMob uses the Advertising ID to show you more relevant ads. This helps us keep the App free for everyone.

**3. Sharing Your Information**
We do not share your personal information with third parties, except as described below:

* **POST_NOTIFICATIONS (on Android 13+):** Required to show the media playback controls in the notification area, allowing you to control the radio without opening the App.
**5. Data Security**
We value your trust in providing us your information. We use commercially acceptable means of protecting it, but remember that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable.
