• Detect and prevent abuse or fraudulent activity

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

3. Favourites and Local Storage

Stations and podcasts you mark as favourites are stored locally on your device using your device's local storage. This data is not transmitted to our servers and is not accessible to us. If you uninstall the app, this data will be deleted.

4. Third-Party APIs and Content

Radio Central integrates with the following external services to provide content:

• Radio Browser API (radio-browser.info) — provides the directory of radio stations. Subject to their own privacy policy.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party services.

5. Children's Privacy

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold about you. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
