Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 2, 2026 (Supersedes the previous policy dated February 16, 2026)

Welcome to Radyo PH ("we," "our," or "us"), operated at [radyoph.com](https://radyoph.com) and available as the Radyo PH Android application on Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.radyoph).

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information — both through our website and through the Android app.

By using Radyo PH (website or app), you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Email address - Account identification, login, notifications

Submitter name and email - Contacting you about your request

Security, fraud, and abuse prevention

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

When you are signed in to a Radyo PH account, your favorited stations are synced to our servers so they are available across devices and app reinstalls. This sync:

- Is triggered automatically each time you open the app (if you are logged in)

- Sends only your **user ID** and **station identifiers** — not audio content

- Can be stopped at any time by logging out of your account

If you were using the app before the account/sync feature existed and had locally-saved favorites, those favorites are migrated to the updated local database schema and remain on your device. They are pushed to the server only when you sign in.

The Radyo PH Android app and website do not display advertisements as of press time.

When you connect your Android device to a vehicle's Android Auto system:

- The app provides **station names, artwork, and now-playing metadata** to the car's infotainment display.

- The app may acquire a **Wi-Fi lock** and monitor **Bluetooth/Wi-Fi connectivity** to maintain a stable connection during your session.

- No additional personal data is transmitted to the vehicle or stored by the infotainment system beyond what is needed for playback display.

- Audio content is streamed directly from third-party radio servers; we do not record or store the audio.

Radyo PH connects to third-party radio stream servers to play live audio. During playback:

- Stream servers may log your **IP address** in their access logs. We do not control those servers.

- If a stream broadcasts **ICY/Shoutcast metadata** (song title, artist), the app reads and displays that text. This metadata is not stored or transmitted to our servers.

On the website (radyoph.com): We use cookies and similar technologies for analytics (e.g., Google Analytics) and to remember your preferences. You may disable cookies in your browser settings; some site features may not function properly without them.

In the Android app: The app does not use browser cookies. 

The app and website contain links to and streams from third-party radio stations and external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites or stream servers.

Account data (email, name, etc.) - Until you delete your account

Favorited stations (server) - Until you remove them or delete your account

Station submission / error report data - Until processed; then up to 1 year for audit purposes

Local on-device data (Room database, Shared Preferences) is retained until you uninstall the app or clear app data.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your data, including:

- Passwords stored using one-way hashing

- HTTPS encryption for all API communications

- Access controls on our servers

- Google Play Integrity API to verify that the app has not been tampered with

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Radyo PH is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at the address below and we will promptly delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, new features, or legal requirements. When we do, we will:

- Post the updated policy at [https://radyoph.com/privacy-policy](https://radyoph.com/privacy-policy)

- Update the **Effective Date** at the top of this document

- Where the changes are material, provide in-app notice

Your continued use of Radyo PH after the effective date of a revised policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
