We only collect data that is necessary for the app to function. Here is exactly what we collect depending on how you use the app:
If you use the app as a guest (no account):
- Your favourite stations — stored locally on your device only, never sent to our servers
- Your listening history for the past 7 days — stored locally on your device only
- The app version and device type — for crash reporting only
If you create an account:
- Email address — used to identify your account and for password resets
- Display name — the name you choose to show in the app
- Favourite stations — synced to our cloud so you can access them on any device
- Listening history — the last 7 days of stations you have listened to, synced to cloud
- Hours listened — a weekly total used to show your profile stats
