Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile application "World Radio: Online Live Tuner" (the "App"), developed and published by TCA01. We are strictly committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a transparent, secure user experience. This policy explains what information is collected, how it is handled, and your privacy rights.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

World Radio: Online Live Tuner does not require user accounts, logins, or registration. We do NOT collect, store, or share any personally identifiable information (PII) such as:

• Your real name, physical address, or phone number
• Your email address or contact list
• Precise GPS location data

3. Third-Party Services and Analytics

To provide continuous online radio streaming and support free access through advertising, the App integrates reputable third-party SDKs:

A. Google AdMob (Advertising)
The App serves advertisements through Google AdMob. Google AdMob may collect and process pseudonymous identifiers and diagnostic data in compliance with Google's policies, including:

• Google Advertising ID (AAID)
• Approximate general location (country or city level derived from IP)
• Device model, operating system version, and performance diagnostics
• Ad interaction metrics to measure ad delivery and prevent invalid traffic

For more details on how Google manages advertising data, please review Google's Privacy & Terms.

B. Community Radio Directory (Radio Browser API)
The App retrieves open-source, public radio station listings and audio stream URLs from community directory mirrors. No personal identification data is transmitted to radio station servers during tuning or playback.

4. Permissions and Audio Streaming

The App requests standard Android permissions strictly necessary for its core functionality:

• INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Required to establish audio stream connections with worldwide internet radio stations.
• FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK: Required by Android to maintain continuous, uninterrupted background playback when the screen is turned off or while switching between apps.

5. Children's Privacy

The App does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age.

6. Data Security

Because we do not operate backend servers that store personal user profiles or credentials, your personal identity is inherently protected from unauthorized data breaches.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically. Any updates will be posted directly to this URL with a revised effective date.
