Privacy Policy

At MyRapidRadio, your privacy matters. Here's what you need to know:

Information We Collect

Our App is designed to provide streaming radio without requiring user registration, login, or direct collection of personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name or email. However, we do collect certain information to provide the service and display advertisements. We may collect basic data like your IP address to show nearby radio stations. This data is not stored or linked to any personal identity.

A. Data Collected on Your Device (Location)

We access your approximate Location Data (e.g., country code or regional area) in real-time, on your device, only for the purpose of:

1. Localizing Content: Filtering and displaying radio stations relevant to your current country or region.

Crucially: This location data is not stored long-term by us and is not associated with a user profile on our servers. It is processed ephemerally to fulfill your request.

Information Collected by Third-Party Services (AdMob & Analytics)

We utilize third-party services, primarily for monetization (advertising) and analytics. These services collect data directly, which is governed by their respective privacy policies.

The following third-party services collect data through our App:

• Google AdMob & Adsense (Advertising): AdMob/Adsense collects data like your device's Advertising ID, IP address, and information about your interaction with the App and ads. This is used to serve personalized and non-personalized advertisements, limit ad frequency, and prevent fraud.
• Google Play Services: This essential library collects Device and App Identifiers and Usage Data (e.g., system activity, hardware settings, app version, time of use) for core app functionality and analytics.

Data collected by these third parties may include (but is not limited to):

• Device Identifiers (Advertising ID, device type, OS version)
• IP Address
• Usage Data (crash logs)
• Approximate Geolocation (used by AdMob for targeted advertising)

• Google Ads Opt-Out Information: Users can manage their ad preferences and opt-out of personalized ads by visiting the Google Ad Settings (search for "Google Ad Settings" or use the link provided in the Google policy).

How We Use Your Information

The information collected is used for the following purposes:

• To Provide the Service: Using approximate location to deliver relevant, localized radio content.
• To Serve Ads: Allowing AdMob to display relevant advertisements to monetize the App.
• To Analyze Usage: Understanding how the App is used (via third-party analytics) to improve performance and stability.

Security of Data

We value your trust in providing your information, thus we strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. However, remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Our App is not directed to anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect PII from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with PII, please contact us so we can take necessary actions.
