Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Radioage. This Privacy Policy explains how Adyantic Studio ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our mobile application ("Radioage" or "the App").

Radioage does not require you to create an account and does not intentionally collect information that directly identifies you, such as your name, email address, or phone number.

2. Information We Collect and How We Use It

A. Precise Location Data (GPS)

If you choose to enable the "Stations Near You" feature, Radioage will ask for your permission to access your device's precise location (GPS coordinates).

• How it is used: Your coordinates are processed on your device to calculate the distance between you and available radio stations using mathematical (Haversine) formulas. This allows the app to filter stations within your chosen radius.
• How it is protected: Your precise location is not uploaded to Radioage's servers, and Radioage does not send your GPS coordinates to Radio Browser or radio station services. When "Stations Near You" is used, the coordinates may be provided to the platform's geocoding service (Apple on iOS or the system geocoder, normally Google, on Android) to obtain geographic information needed for the feature. The coordinates are not saved by Radioage.

B. Approximate Location Data (IP Address)

When you launch Radioage, or return to the app after it has been in the background, Radioage uses third-party services (GeoJS and, if necessary, Cloudflare) to determine your approximate country based on your public IP address.

This country information is used to set or maintain your country selection and, where applicable, to apply geographic restrictions required for licensing of radio stations. Radioage does not receive or store your precise physical location from this process.

• How it is used: For a new installation, the detected country may be used to automatically select the initial radio station country. For existing users, Radioage respects their selected country except when geographic restrictions require the country to be restricted.
• What is transmitted: The request to the IP geolocation service necessarily includes your public IP address and other network information required to make the request. GeoJS and Cloudflare process this request to provide IP-based geographic information according to their respective services and policies.

C. Local App Data

Radioage stores certain app preferences locally on your device. This includes:

• Your saved favorite stations.
• Your selected theme (Light/Dark).
• Your chosen language filters and radius settings.
• Your selected default country.
• Regional availability state, such as the detected country and whether a regional restriction applies.
• The last station and radio band used, so the app can restore the radio dial state.
• Certain app and interface preferences, such as whether "Stations Near You" is enabled and when an upgrade prompt was last shown.
• Your last-known Radioage PRO status.

How it is protected: This information is stored locally on your device using the app's local storage. Radioage does not maintain a server-side database containing these preferences or app state.

Diagnostic reports: The Sentry SDK may temporarily store diagnostic reports on your device until they can be sent, for example when your device is offline. It may also create a random installation identifier for its own operation; Radioage applies safeguards intended to remove this identifier from diagnostic events.

D. Subscription and Purchase Information

If you purchase a Radioage PRO subscription, the transaction is processed by the applicable app store (Apple App Store or Google Play Store) and subscription information is managed through RevenueCat.

• How it is used: RevenueCat processes purchase and subscription information to validate transactions, maintain subscription status, and enable or disable Radioage PRO features.
• Anonymous identifier: Because Radioage does not require an account or provide RevenueCat with a custom user identifier, RevenueCat generates an anonymous App User ID for the installation. This identifier is used by RevenueCat to associate purchase and subscription information with that anonymous customer record.
• Payment information: Radioage does not collect or store your credit card number, bank account number, or other direct payment credentials. Payment processing is handled by Apple or Google.

E. Crash Reporting and Diagnostic Information

Radioage uses Sentry, a third-party crash reporting and error monitoring service provided by Functional Software, Inc., to help us identify, diagnose, and fix crashes and technical errors. Diagnostic information is sent automatically when the app encounters a reportable crash or error.

What may be collected: Diagnostic events may include error messages and stack traces; app version and build information; device and operating-system information such as device model and manufacturer, OS version, language or locale, time zone, memory and storage status, screen information, and whether the device appears to be rooted or jailbroken; and breadcrumbs, which are short records of activity before an error. Breadcrumbs may include screen and app lifecycle changes, touch interactions (which on-screen element was tapped, not text you enter), network details such as connection type, connectivity status and whether a VPN is active, and system events such as low battery. The information included depends on the event and platform.

What is not intended to be included: Radioage is configured not to attach your name, email address, account or purchase identifiers, RevenueCat identifiers, radio station or stream URLs, or search text to Sentry diagnostic events. Sentry Replay is not enabled, and Radioage does not intentionally collect screenshots, screen recordings, or audio through Sentry.

Privacy safeguards: Radioage applies safeguards intended to remove certain user and device identifiers from diagnostic events. We configure Sentry not to store IP addresses and to remove approximate geographic fields from incoming events. An IP address may still be processed during network communication. Identifier removal in the app has been verified for JavaScript errors; native crash reports have not yet been fully tested. Diagnostic events are used for troubleshooting and app stability, not advertising or cross-app advertising tracking.

Processing and retention: Sentry processes diagnostic information on our behalf. Our Sentry organisation is configured to store data in the United States. Error events are retained for up to 90 days (30 days if our account is on Sentry's free plan). Radioage currently does not store Sentry crash-report attachments. Retention and service features may change if our Sentry plan changes. For more information, see Sentry's Privacy Policy and Sentry's data retention documentation.

3. Third-Party Services

Radioage uses the following third-party services to provide app functionality. Depending on how a service is accessed, these services or other third-party servers may receive information such as your IP address as part of normal network requests.

• Radio Browser API (api.radio-browser.info): A community-maintained directory used to retrieve radio station information and stream information.
• GeoJS (geojs.io): An IP geolocation service used to determine the user's approximate country based on their public IP address.
• Cloudflare: Used as a fallback IP geolocation service to determine the user's approximate country when the primary geolocation service is unavailable.
• Google connectivity check (clients3.google.com/generate_204): Used by the app's network-status functionality to check whether an internet connection is available. Google receives standard network information required for the request, including your IP address.
• RevenueCat: A subscription management service used to validate purchases, maintain subscription status, and manage access to Radioage PRO features. RevenueCat generates and stores an anonymous App User ID for the installation and associates subscription information with that anonymous customer record.
• Apple / Google geocoding services: When you use "Stations Near You", Radioage uses the device's location with the platform's geocoding service to determine geographic information needed for the feature. On iOS this uses Apple's geocoding service; on Android this uses the device's system geocoder, normally provided by Google. Radioage does not store your location coordinates.
• Sentry (sentry.io/privacy): A crash reporting and error monitoring service used to diagnose technical errors and improve app stability. Diagnostic events may contain technical device and app information and a short record of recent app activity, as described in Section 2.E. Radioage removes certain identifiers before sending events and configures Sentry not to store IP addresses or approximate geographic fields.
• Radio station and content servers: When you listen to a station, your device connects directly to third-party servers operated by the station, broadcaster, or their service providers to receive the live audio stream, programme information, or station artwork. These servers may receive standard network information, including your IP address.

These third-party services have their own privacy policies describing how they handle information received through their services. Radioage does not control the privacy practices of third-party station, broadcaster, geocoding, network, or content-hosting services.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Radioage does not sell or rent your personal information.

Radioage does not require an account and does not intentionally collect information that directly identifies you, such as your name, email address, or phone number.

Limited information may nevertheless be transmitted to third-party service providers when necessary to provide app functionality. This includes:

• Network information, including your IP address, when communicating with services such as Radio Browser, GeoJS, Cloudflare, Google's connectivity-check service, radio station servers, and other third-party services required to deliver app content.
• Your device's location coordinates when you choose to use "Stations Near You", which are sent to the platform's geocoding service to determine geographic information for that feature. Radioage does not save those coordinates.
• Purchase and subscription information processed by RevenueCat to validate transactions, maintain subscription status, and provide Radioage PRO features.
• An anonymous RevenueCat App User ID used to associate purchase information with an anonymous customer record.
• Diagnostic events and technical app/device information sent to Sentry when the app encounters a reportable crash or error, as described in Section 2.E. These events are processed for app stability and troubleshooting.

Radioage does not use this information for third-party advertising or cross-app advertising tracking.

5. Data Retention

Radioage does not maintain a server-side database of your app preferences, favorites, themes, language settings, regional app state, or playback state.

Information stored locally by Radioage remains on your device until you delete it by removing the app or clearing its local data. This includes preferences, favorites, regional app state, last-used station information, and certain interface state. RevenueCat's anonymous App User ID and cached subscription information are stored separately by RevenueCat's SDK and are handled according to RevenueCat's applicable privacy practices.

Subscription and purchase information processed by RevenueCat is retained and managed by RevenueCat according to its applicable privacy policy and service terms.

Sentry diagnostic event retention is described in Section 2.E. Radioage currently does not store Sentry crash-report attachments.

6. Your Choices, Requests, and International Transfers

Your choices

• Location permission: You can revoke Radioage's location permission at any time through your device settings. "Stations Near You" will not work without the required location permission.
• Local app data: You can remove locally stored app data by uninstalling Radioage or clearing its app data through your device settings.
• Diagnostic reporting: Diagnostic reporting is automatic when a reportable crash or error occurs, and the app currently does not provide an in-app opt-out. Diagnostic events are configured not to include direct identity details, but we cannot reliably locate or delete a particular person's event based on identity when the event is not linked to that identity.

Requests and contact

If you have questions or requests about information processed by our service providers, including RevenueCat subscription records associated with an anonymous App User ID, contact us at hello@adyantic.studio. We will assess and respond to requests as appropriate under applicable law and the capabilities of the relevant service provider.

International transfers

Our third-party service providers may process information outside your country. Sentry is configured to store data in the United States; RevenueCat and other providers may also process information in countries where they or their service providers operate. Radio Browser and radio station or content servers may be located in various countries.

7. Children's Privacy

Radioage does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, provide additional notice within the App.
