Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to Best Online Radio. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our free online radio streaming service at this website (the “Service”).

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information We Collect

Favorites (Local Storage)

When you mark radio stations as favorites, that information is stored locally on your device using your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

Usage Analytics

We collect anonymous usage data through Google Analytics and Firebase Analytics to understand how users interact with the Service. This may include pages visited, stations played, session duration, and general device and browser information. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally.

Log Data

Like most web services, our hosting provider may automatically collect standard log data such as your IP address, browser type, and referring URL. This information is used for security and performance monitoring only.

Crash Reporting

Our mobile applications use Firebase Crashlytics to detect and diagnose crashes. When a crash occurs, anonymous diagnostic data — including device model, OS version, app version, and a stack trace — is sent to Google so we can fix bugs. No personally identifiable information is included in these reports.

Push Notifications

Our mobile applications may use Firebase Cloud Messaging to deliver optional push notifications. Receiving these notifications requires a device-specific FCM token, which is generated by Google and stored on your device. You can disable notifications at any time through your device's system settings; this stops delivery and the token becomes inactive.

No Account Required

We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number to use the Service. We do not collect or store any personally identifiable information.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Service. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. For more information about how Google uses data, please visit How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.

Cookies

We use cookies primarily through Google AdSense and Google Analytics. These cookies help us understand how the Service is used and allow Google to show you relevant advertisements. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of parts of the Service.

Third-Party Radio Streams

The radio streams provided through the Service are hosted by third-party broadcasters. When you play a radio stream, your device connects directly to the broadcaster's server. We are not responsible for the data practices of these third-party broadcasters. Please refer to their respective privacy policies.

Data Retention

Since we do not collect personal data, there is no personal data to retain or delete. Your favorites data is stored solely on your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

In-App Purchases & Subscriptions

Our mobile applications may offer optional premium subscriptions and one-time purchases. All payment processing is performed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play); we do not see or store your payment information. The transaction receipt is validated locally on your device and, where applicable, with Apple's or Google's servers to verify your subscription status. Subscription management (cancellation, refund requests) is handled by Apple or Google directly through their account settings.

Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or California, you have certain rights regarding personal data — including the right to access, correct, or delete data we hold about you, and the right to object to certain processing activities. Because we do not collect personally identifiable information and do not maintain user accounts, we typically have no individual records to act on. If you have specific concerns or requests, please contact us using the email below and we will respond within applicable statutory timelines.

Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Privacy Policy.
