Radio Go — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 26 October 2026

Radio Go (“the app”) is a free radio player for Android phones, Android head units and Android Auto. This policy explains what data the app handles, why, and the choices you have. It is written to meet the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR.

The short version

No account, no sign-in, no advertising identifiers, no analytics SDK, no crash-reporting service.
Your favorites, listening history and settings are stored only on your device.
To show and play radio, the app connects to station directories and streaming servers, which see your IP address.
Anonymous station play counts ({id, country} after 15 seconds of playback) are sent to rank popular stations. You can turn this off at any time in Settings → Privacy → Help rank stations.
“Delete all my data” in Settings erases everything the app stored on your device.

1. Data stored on your device

Data	Purpose	Where
Favorite stations	Lets you find stations again	App storage on your device
Listening history (last 30 stations)	Continue listening, recently played, resuming playback	App storage on your device
Stream health cache	Hides broken stream URLs from discovery charts after repeated failures	App storage on your device
Settings (country, autoplay, FM preference, statistics choice)	Remembering your choices	App storage on your device
Cached station logos and cover art	Faster display, less data use	App cache on your device
Diagnostic log	Troubleshooting on car head units. Never uploaded by the app	App-specific storage on your device

We cannot access your on-device files. If Android’s backup is enabled on your device, Android may copy favorites, history and settings to your own Google account backup. That is controlled by your Google account settings, not by us.

Country and nearby stations. To show local charts, the app reads the country code of your SIM card or mobile network, or failing that your language settings. Any nearby station distance is computed on your device from the station’s broadcast coordinates. Listener GPS coordinates are never uploaded.

2. Connections to our directory and third parties

Like any app that loads content from the internet, each connection reveals your IP address and basic technical information (app name and version in the User-Agent) to the server you connect to.

Recipient	When	What it receives
Radio Browser (radio-browser.info)	Browsing, searching, charts	IP address, your search text, the country of the charts you view
Radio Go Directory (cuberadio.fr)	When Help rank stations is on and a station plays for 15 seconds	IP address, station identifier (id), and two-letter country code. No device or user identifier
Radio Browser click counter	When Help rank stations is on and a station plays for 15 seconds	IP address and the station identifier
Radio stations’ streaming servers	When you play a station, or during a stream health check of your favorites and local chart	IP address, needed to send audio or verify the stream answers
Websites hosting station logos and cover art	When a logo or song cover is displayed	IP address
Only Hits (onlyhitsradio.net)	When viewing or playing its sponsored stations	IP address

Legal basis: connections needed to provide the radio service you request are based on the performance of the service (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and legitimate interest in keeping station rankings and stream health accurate (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). You can opt out of anonymous station ranking pings at any time in Settings → Privacy → Help rank stations.

3. Sponsored stations

Some stations are labelled Sponsored. Sponsors pay for these placements. Sponsored placement is chosen from your chart country and app language on the device. No profile is built, nothing is sent to sponsors about you, and no advertising network is used. Sponsored placements are not shown on Android Auto.

4. Android Auto and car head units

When used with Android Auto, the app runs on your phone and provides the same station lists. Android Auto (Google) displays them. Google’s own privacy policy applies to Android Auto. On head units with an FM tuner, FM reception is local and involves no internet connection.

5. Retention

Data on your device stays until you delete it, clear the app’s data, or uninstall the app. The history keeps at most the last 30 stations. Anonymous station play counts on cuberadio.fr are aggregated into station popularity scores and do not store personal profiles.

6. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict and object to processing, and the right to data portability.

Erase on-device data: Settings → Privacy → Delete all my data (or uninstall the app).
Opt out of play-count ranking: Settings → Privacy → turn off Help rank stations.
Clear history only: Settings → Privacy → Clear history.

For requests concerning data held by third-party stations or Radio Browser, contact them directly. You may also lodge a complaint with your data protection authority (in France: CNIL, www.cnil.fr).

7. Children

The app does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, including children under 16.

8. Security

On-device data is stored in the app’s private storage, which other apps cannot read. Connections use HTTPS wherever the station or directory supports it. Some radio streams are only available over unencrypted HTTP.

9. Changes

We will update this page if the app’s data handling changes, and update the date above. Significant changes will be announced in the app.
