Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DD Month YYYY]

This Privacy Policy explains how [Your Company / Developer Name] (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information in the TickRadio app (“App”). TickRadio is a radio streaming application designed to provide a simple, distraction-free listening experience.

1. Information We Collect

TickRadio is designed to collect minimal data. We do not require you to create an account and we do not collect personal identifiers such as your name or email inside the App.

• Usage & Diagnostics (non-personal): Anonymous analytics and crash logs may be collected to improve stability and performance (e.g., app version, device model, OS version, session events). These do not identify you personally.
• IP Address: When streaming a station, your IP address may be visible to our hosting provider or the third-party radio station’s server to enable content delivery over the internet. We do not use IP addresses to identify you.
• Device Information: Basic device/OS information may be processed for compatibility, performance, and fraud prevention.

2. Third-Party Services

The App plays live radio streams hosted by third-party providers. When you play a station, your device connects directly to that station’s streaming server. These third parties may process your IP address and apply their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of the radio stations you choose to stream.

We may also use reputable analytics and crash reporting services that process anonymous usage data to help us improve the App.

3. Cookies & Tracking

TickRadio itself does not set cookies in the App. However, third-party websites you visit from within the App (e.g., station websites opened in your browser) may use cookies according to their own policies.

4. Permissions

The App may request limited permissions required for core features (e.g., background audio, notifications for playback). We do not access contacts, photos, or precise location.

5. How We Use Information

• To operate and deliver radio streaming functionality
• To monitor performance, fix bugs, and improve user experience
• To protect against misuse, fraud, or security issues

6. Data Retention

We retain diagnostic and analytics data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined above and delete or anonymize it thereafter. We do not store playable audio content; streams come directly from third-party stations.

7. Children’s Privacy

TickRadio is not directed to children under the age required by local law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

9. International Transfers

Because streaming and analytics infrastructure may be distributed globally, your information (such as IP address and diagnostics) may be processed in countries other than your own. We apply safeguards consistent with applicable laws.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your region, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your information. To make a request, please contact us using the details below.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date will reflect the latest version. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the revised Policy.
