Privacy Policy – Radio Finder

Overview

Radio Finder is designed to help users discover radio stations worldwide and to give broadcasters tools for managing listings, ownership claims, station information, and embeddable player features.

By using the site, you understand that certain information may be collected for functionality, security, account access, platform administration, and improvement of the service. This policy is intended to provide a clear summary of what may be collected and how it may be used.

Important

This page is a strong working policy structure for the live website, but you should still review it before final launch to make sure it matches your exact data collection, hosting setup, analytics tools, and legal requirements.

Information we collect

Depending on how the platform is used, Radio Finder may collect information such as:

Name, email address, country, and account details submitted during registration.
Broadcaster-submitted station information, including station names, descriptions, logos, stream links, website links, and listing metadata.
Usage information such as visited pages, interactions with listings, favorites activity, and general browsing behavior.
Technical information such as browser type, device type, IP address, operating system, and approximate diagnostic data used for security or performance monitoring.
Information submitted through contact, support, or station claim forms.

How we use information

Information may be used to operate, improve, and protect the platform. This may include:

Creating and managing user or broadcaster accounts.
Displaying station listings and station-related content publicly on the website.
Allowing broadcasters to manage, edit, or claim station records.
Supporting features such as favorites, follows, embedded players, and analytics-related tools.
Detecting misuse, abuse, suspicious behavior, spam, or unauthorized access attempts.
Responding to support requests, moderation needs, or administrative actions.
Improving usability, design, performance, and feature development.

Accounts and station listings

Broadcasters may submit and manage station information through their dashboard. Station details entered by broadcasters may appear publicly on the platform, including public station pages and station listing areas.

If a claim system is used, additional information may be reviewed in order to associate a station securely with a broadcaster account. Radio Finder may retain claim-related information for verification, fraud prevention, and dispute handling.

Users who register for listener-related features may have different account functionality compared with broadcaster accounts. Account roles and permissions may be updated as the system evolves.

Cookies and analytics

Radio Finder may use cookies, sessions, and similar technologies to maintain login state, improve user experience, remember preferences, support favorites or dashboard tools, and understand general site activity.

The platform may also use analytics or diagnostic tools to understand usage trends, improve the interface, monitor technical performance, and identify operational issues.

Information sharing

Radio Finder does not sell personal information as part of the normal operation of the platform. Information may be shared only when reasonably necessary, such as:

With service providers involved in hosting, storage, email delivery, analytics, or technical infrastructure.
When required by law, regulation, court order, or legal process.
To protect the platform, users, broadcasters, or the public from fraud, abuse, or security threats.
As part of a platform transfer, restructuring, or business transaction, subject to applicable legal obligations.

Data security

Reasonable technical and administrative measures may be used to protect stored information, account access, and platform operations. However, no online platform or transmission method can be guaranteed to be fully secure in all circumstances.

Users and broadcasters are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials and for using strong passwords where account access is provided.

Data retention

Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain records, support claims or disputes, comply with legal obligations, prevent abuse, and operate the platform effectively.

Some station-related or administrative records may remain stored for platform integrity, moderation history, technical logs, or legal compliance, even after certain user actions or account changes.

Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction and the way the platform is operated, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, or restriction of your personal data. You may also have the right to request information about how your data is being used.

Requests may be reviewed and responded to in line with technical limitations, account security requirements, platform obligations, and applicable legal duties.

Contact

If you have questions regarding this Privacy Policy, data handling practices, or account-related privacy concerns, you may contact the site administrator through the website’s support channels.

This policy may be revised from time to time. Continued use of the website after updates may indicate acceptance of the revised version.
