Privacy Policy of the "Radyo Türk" Android App

This page is a courtesy translation; the legally binding version is the German text. This policy describes what data the Android app "Radyo Türk – Canlı Radyo Dinle" (package idu.com.radio.radyoturk) processes. A separate privacy policy applies to this website.

The essentials first: the app requires no account and no registration. Favourites, alarms, settings and recordings stay on your device. Ads are only personalised with your consent, and crash reporting is disabled by default.

2. Radio streams (third parties)

When you play a station, your device connects directly to the streaming server of that radio station. The broadcaster therefore technically receives your IP address and the usual connection data; its own privacy policy applies. We do not operate the streams and receive no data from them. Some streams also transmit track information (ICY metadata), which the app displays locally (legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR — providing the requested feature).

3. Communication with our servers

The app loads the station list, genres/regions, configuration values and the popularity charts from our servers (radyo-turk.net). This generates the usual server log data (IP address, time, requested resource, user agent), which is stored briefly for delivery and security and then deleted automatically (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Anonymous listening statistics: To calculate the "Popular stations" charts, the app reports completed listening sessions (station, duration, time) together with a randomly generated, pseudonymous installation identifier used for de-duplication. This identifier contains no personal or device data and is not linked to other data by us; evaluation is aggregate-only (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR — providing and improving the service).

Stream failure reports: If a station ultimately fails to play, the app reports the station ID and an error class so that broken streams can be detected and fixed — likewise with a pseudonymous identifier, without content or location data (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

4. Album artwork (Apple iTunes Search)

When a station shows track information, the app queries matching album artwork from Apple Inc.'s public iTunes Search API. The artist/track text and, technically, your IP address are transmitted; the app uses an anonymised user agent for these requests. Apple's privacy policy applies (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

5. Advertising (Google AdMob) and consent

The free version shows ads via Google AdMob (Google Ireland Ltd. / Google LLC). On first launch the app asks for your choice via Google's UMP consent platform:

You can change your choice at any time in the app settings under "Data usage". With the optional Premium subscription the app is completely ad-free. Details: Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses data.

6. Push notifications (Firebase Cloud Messaging)

For optional messages (e.g. important app notices), the app uses Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging. A pseudonymous device token is generated and transmitted to Google (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). You can disable notifications in the system settings at any time.

7. Crash reports and usage statistics (OFF by default)

Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Analytics are disabled by default in the app. Only if you enable them in the settings under "Data usage" (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) will technical crash reports (device model, Android version, stack trace, pseudonymous identifiers) or aggregated usage events be transmitted to Google. You can withdraw this consent there at any time.

8. Purchases (Google Play Billing)

The Premium subscription is handled entirely by Google Play. Payment data is processed exclusively by Google; the app only receives the information whether a valid subscription exists (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR).

9. Local data and permissions

10. Recipients and third-country transfers

Recipients within the scope above are Google (AdMob, Firebase, Play Billing), Apple (iTunes Search) and the respective radio broadcasters (streams). Where data is transferred to the USA, Google and Apple rely on the adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or on EU standard contractual clauses.

11. Retention

Server logs are deleted automatically after a short period. Aggregated listening statistics contain no personal data and are carried forward for the charts. You delete local data yourself at any time by removing content in the app or uninstalling the app.

12. Your rights

You have the rights under Art. 15–21 GDPR (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, objection) and the right to withdraw any consent at any time (Art. 7 (3) GDPR). You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), for example the LDI North Rhine-Westphalia.

13. Children

The app is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

14. Content and liability (stations, logos, trademarks)

Radyo Türk is a directory of publicly available radio streams. The streams, programme content, station names and station logos belong to the respective broadcasters and rights holders; the app merely links to the stream addresses made publicly available by the stations and does not transmit the content itself. The stations alone are responsible for the content of their streams.

Rights holders who do not wish their station, name or logo to be included can reach us at info@radyo-turk.net — we act on justified requests promptly (removal or correction).

15. Changes

We will adapt this policy whenever the app changes technically or legally. The version published here applies.
