The data controller responsible for processing personal data in connection with this app is: aurarum, H. Klindtworth, Gorch-Fock-Ring 26, 23683 Scharbeutz, Germany
2) Overview
“My Radio” is an internet radio app. The app only processes data required to provide its features. No account registration is required.
3) What data is processed
a) Data stored locally on your device
- Favorite radio stations (including station metadata)
- App settings (e.g., artwork search options)
- Optional user-selected/saved station images
- Widget status data (e.g., current station, playback status), if widget features are used
This data is stored locally on the device and/or app group storage.
b) Data processed when using online features
When using station search, streaming, and optional artwork search, requests are sent to external services. This may technically involve:
- IP address
- Request timestamp
- Requested content (e.g., search terms, station name, stream URL, metadata such as title/artist when online artwork search is enabled)
- Technical connection data (e.g., HTTP headers, user agent)
4) External recipients / third-party services
Depending on usage, data may be transmitted to:
- Radio Browser API (station directory and search): https://www.radio-browser.info/
- Wikimedia/Wikipedia (optional station artwork search): https://www.wikimedia.org/
- Apple iTunes Search API (optional artwork lookup): https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AudioVideo/Conceptual/iTuneSearchAPI/
- The selected radio station's streaming provider (audio stream delivery)
Processing by these third parties is governed by their own privacy policies.
5) Purpose and legal basis
Processing is carried out to provide app functionality (playback, station management, search, optional artwork features).
Where GDPR applies, legal bases may include:
- Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract / pre-contractual steps)
- Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests in reliable app operation)
- Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent / user-enabled optional features, where required)
6) No advertising profiling by the app
Based on current functionality, the app does not include an in-app account system or proprietary ad-tracking profiling.
7) Data retention
Locally stored data remains until you delete it in the app or uninstall the app.
Retention periods at third-party services are defined by their own policies.
8) Your rights
Where applicable, you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, and objection.
You may also withdraw consent at any time for future processing (e.g., by disabling optional features in app settings).
9) Data security
Appropriate technical and organizational measures are used to protect data against loss and unauthorized access.
10) Changes
This privacy policy may be updated, for example due to new features or legal changes. The current version published by the provider/app applies.
