This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected, how it is used, and your choices when using iRadio.

2) Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the App and which services are enabled, we may collect:

• Streaming/Network Data: basic technical data needed to connect to radio streams (for example, IP address, device/network request metadata, and app session timing).
• App Settings Data (Local): preferences stored on your device (for example, playback or UI settings).
• Purchase-Related Data: purchase token, order status/details, and entitlement state needed to validate or restore the one-time non-consumable product remove_ads.
• Advertising/Diagnostics Data: ad-related identifiers and app performance/crash diagnostics from platform or third-party SDKs, if enabled.
• Device/App Metadata: device model, OS version, app version, language/locale, and similar technical fields for compatibility, troubleshooting, and analytics.

iRadio does not require account sign-up for core streaming use.

3) How We Use Information

• Provide and operate radio streaming features.
• Save your app preferences and improve app usability.
• Verify, restore, and enforce ad-removal purchases (remove_ads).
• Show ads (for non-purchasers) and manage ad frequency/relevance where supported.
• Monitor reliability, diagnose crashes, and improve performance/security.
• Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

4) Legal Bases (Global Users)

Where applicable (such as EEA/UK), we rely on one or more legal bases:

• Performance of a contract: to provide app functionality you request (streaming, purchase restore).
• Legitimate interests: app security, fraud prevention, debugging, and service improvement.
• Consent: where required for personalized ads, analytics, or identifier-based tracking.
• Legal obligation: when processing is necessary to comply with law.

5) Ads and Analytics

iRadio includes advertising unless you purchase ad removal.

• Ad and service partners in this app may include: Google Play Billing (com.android.billingclient:billing-ktx), Google Play In-App Review (com.google.android.play:review-ktx), Google Play In-App Update (com.google.android.play:app-update-ktx), InMobi Ads (com.inmobi.monetization:inmobi-ads-kotlin), ExoPlayer (com.google.android.exoplayer:*), Hilt DI (com.google.dagger:hilt-android), Room DB (androidx.room:*), WorkManager (androidx.work:work-runtime-ktx), Glide (com.github.bumptech.glide:glide), Coil (io.coil-kt:coil), Retrofit (com.squareup.retrofit2:*), OkHttp (com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp), AndroidX Media (androidx.media:media), Cast Framework (com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast-framework), Storage helper (com.anggrayudi:storage), and Startup (androidx.startup:startup-runtime).
• You can limit ad personalization through your Google/Android ad settings.
• If consent tools are shown in your region, your choices will apply to supported ad/analytics processing.
• We may use platform and SDK diagnostics/performance signals to detect errors and improve stability.

6) In-App Purchases and Payments (Google Play Billing)

iRadio offers a one-time, non-consumable in-app product: remove_ads.

• Payments are processed by Google Play Billing.
• We do not directly collect or store your full payment card details.
• We may process purchase token/order information and transaction status to validate purchase, unlock ad-free access, prevent abuse, and support restore purchase on reinstall/device change.
• Purchase records may also be retained by Google under Google Play terms.

7) Data Sharing and Third Parties

We may share limited data with:

• Service providers/SDK partners (for ads, analytics, crash reporting, infrastructure).
• Google Play services for billing, purchase verification, and app distribution.
• Legal/regulatory authorities when required by law or valid legal process.

We do not sell personal information for money. If "sale"/"sharing" is broadly defined under some laws, ad-tech processing may be treated as such in certain contexts.

8) Data Retention

We retain data only as long as needed for the purposes described above.

• Local settings remain on your device until you clear app data or uninstall.
• Purchase entitlement/verification data may be retained as needed for restore, fraud prevention, accounting, and legal compliance.
• Crash/analytics/ads data handled by SDK providers is retained according to each provider's policy and applicable law.
• Support emails are kept until your request is resolved, then archived for a reasonable legal/business period (typically 12 to 24 months), unless a longer period is required by law.

9) Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect data.

• Data in transit typically relies on platform/network protections and provider security controls.
• No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

10) Children’s Privacy

iRadio targets a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 (or higher age where required by local law).

• We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.
• If you believe a child provided personal data, contact us to request review/deletion.

11) International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including where service providers operate.

• Data protection laws may differ by jurisdiction.
• Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards or lawful transfer mechanisms.

12) Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Access personal information.
• Request correction or deletion.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Withdraw consent where processing is consent-based.
• Request data portability (where applicable).
• Appeal or lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

For California users, you may have rights to know, delete, correct, and limit certain uses of personal information, subject to legal exceptions.

To make a request, contact: samkrishusa007@gmail.com.

13) Mobile Identifiers and Tracking Technologies

Mobile apps do not usually use browser cookies in the same way websites do, but may use similar technologies such as:

• Android Advertising ID and device/app identifiers.
• SDK-based tags, local storage, and event logs for app functionality, ads, and analytics.

You can manage certain tracking and ad personalization controls in Android/Google settings and, where available, in consent prompts.

14) Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

• We will post updates in this policy and revise the "Last Updated" date.
• Material changes may also be communicated through the App or store listing where appropriate.
