Privacy Policy

Data collected

• Problem reports you choose to send (optional)
• Feedback messages you choose to send (optional, iPhone)

Permissions

• Internet / network state — Streams station audio and detects when you are offline so playback fails gracefully.
• Foreground service (media playback) — Keeps a station playing when you switch to another app or lock the screen.
• Wake lock — Prevents the device sleeping from cutting off audio during playback.
• Notifications — Shows the playback controls for the station you are listening to. Declining this does not stop playback.
• Background audio (iPhone) — Keeps a station playing when you switch to another app or lock the screen. The iPhone app asks for no other permissions.

Additional notes

• All Nigeria Radio has no user accounts, no analytics and no advertising SDKs, and nothing is collected in the background. The one exception is the problem report you can send about a station, described below.
• If you report a problem with a station, the app sends us what you chose: the station, the problem you picked, and any note you typed. It also sends the app version, the station-list version, your device model and language, and a random identifier created by the app on first run - not your Android ID, your Apple advertising identifier, your phone number, or anything that identifies you. Our server also records the country your connection comes from (derived from your IP address, which itself is not stored), so we can tell a station that is blocked in Nigeria from one that is down everywhere. Reports are queued on your device and sent when you have a connection. If you never tap Report, nothing is ever sent.
• On iPhone you can also send general feedback from the About screen. It sends the message you typed and the category you picked, with the same app version, device model, language and random identifier as a problem report, but not your country. Because the message is free text, please do not type personal details into it. We read every message but cannot reply in the app.
• Problem reports and feedback are stored on our server only, and are deleted automatically within 75 days. Because they carry no name, email or account, we cannot look up "your" reports by identity. To have a report deleted sooner, email [email protected] with the station, the approximate time you sent it and your phone model, and we will find and delete it. Sending a report is your consent to it being processed as described here; if you do not want to send data, simply do not use Report or Send Feedback.
• Your favourite stations, your recently played stations, and your last-played station are stored only on your device, in the app's own storage. They are never transmitted anywhere. You can clear the recently played list from the Recent tab at any time, and clearing the app data or uninstalling the app removes all of them.
• When you play a station, your device connects directly to that broadcaster's streaming server. Those third-party servers may log connection information such as your IP address, in line with their own privacy policies. Ibotyle Services neither controls nor receives that data.
• The app periodically checks whether station streams are reachable so it can mark stations that are off air. These checks contact the same broadcaster servers and send no information about you.
• No data is sold, and none is transferred for purposes unrelated to the app.
• Radio station names, frequencies, and trademarks belong to their respective broadcasters. All Nigeria Radio links to publicly available streams and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any station.
