Privacy Policy — Radio

Package com.hitec.radio · Last updated: 17 August 2026

Stored on your device

The following is stored locally on your phone only, never leaves it, and is fully removed when you uninstall the app:

• Your favourite and blocked station lists
• The last frequency you listened to and your recently played stations
• Your interface language and equalizer settings
• Recordings you made yourself and your scheduled recording times

Network connections

In Internet mode the app contacts only two parties:

1. radio-browser.info — a free, open radio station database, used to fetch the station list and logos.
2. The stream server of the station you pick — to play the audio directly.

These servers are not owned by the developer and may log your IP address and device type, as any internet service does. The app sends them no personal identifier or additional information about you.

In Hardware FM mode the app makes no network connection at all.

Permissions

Permission	Reason
INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE	Play station streams and fetch the station list
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK, WAKE_LOCK	Keep playing with the screen off
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC	Record a stream to a file on your device
POST_NOTIFICATIONS	Show the playback control notification. Denying it does not stop playback
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED	Restore scheduled recordings after a restart

The app does not request location, contacts, microphone, camera, or file access.

Crash reports

When a crash happens the app writes the details to a file on your device only. Nothing is sent automatically. You can view it in Settings and share it yourself if you choose to.

Children

The app collects no data from any user, including children under 13. Station content, however, comes from independent broadcasters that the developer neither controls nor reviews.

Third-party content

The app is only an audio player. All stations belong to independent broadcasters who are solely responsible for their content. The app hosts no audio content, does not rebroadcast it, and does not store it on any server.

Changes

Any change to this policy will be published on this page with an updated date.
