Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 12, 2026

My Radio (radio.sdwares.com) is operated by SD Wares ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information we collect, why, who receives it, and the choices you have. Questions: support@sdwares.com.

The short version. You can listen without an account, and then we store nothing about you. If you sign in with Google, we store your basic profile and what you save in the app, so it syncs across your devices. We don't sell your information, show ads, or use analytics or tracking cookies.

Information we collect

When you use My Radio without signing in: we don't create a profile or store anything about you. Our hosting provider processes technical data that every website receives (such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested) to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.

When you sign in with Google:

From Google: your Google account ID, name, email address, profile picture and whether Google has verified your email. We never see your Google password and we don't access any other Google data.
When you last signed in.
What you save in the app: your station list (names and stream links, including ones you add yourself) and liked songs (song title, station and when you liked it).
If notifications are available to you and you turn them on: your device's push notification address and the artists you choose to be notified about.

Stored only on your device, never sent to us: your listening history, sound settings, a copy of your account details and liked songs for offline use, and anything you save for offline listening. You can remove it by clearing this site's data in your browser.

Cookies

We use two cookies, both strictly necessary: one keeps you signed in (30 days, removed when you sign out) and one protects the Google sign-in step (10 minutes). We don't use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.

How we use information

To provide the features you use: your stations, likes and notifications, on every device where you sign in.
To keep the service secure and working: limiting excessive requests and blocking accounts that misuse it.
To answer you when you contact us.

We don't sell or rent your information, use it for advertising, or build profiles about you.

Who receives information

Service providers that run My Radio for us: Netlify (hosting) and MongoDB Atlas (database).
Google, when you sign in. In browsers other than Safari, the page also loads Google's casting software (for playing on speakers and TVs) from Google's servers, which gives Google your IP address.
Radio stations. Your browser connects directly to the station you play to receive its audio, so the station sees your IP address. Stations are independent and have their own privacy practices.
Artwork providers (such as Apple) whose servers your browser loads album covers from, which gives them your IP address.
Push notification services of your browser's maker (Google, Mozilla, Microsoft or Apple), only if you turn on notifications.
Authorities, if the law requires it.

To show what's playing, our server looks up song and station information from public sources (such as Radio Browser and Apple's iTunes Search). Those lookups contain song titles and station links, not information about you.

Tracking and "Do Not Track"

We don't track you across other websites, and we don't let third parties collect information about your activity over time and across websites through My Radio for advertising. Because we don't do that kind of tracking, we treat all visitors the same whether or not their browser sends a "Do Not Track" signal. The services listed above receive your IP address when your browser contacts them.

How long we keep it

Account information stays until you delete your account or ask us to delete it. We keep up to your 500 most recent liked songs and up to 5 devices for notifications. Our providers keep technical logs for limited periods under their own policies.

Your choices and rights

Review and change: edit your stations in Settings and your likes in the Library at any time.
Delete your account: in Settings, choose Delete my account. Your account and everything saved with it are removed from our database right away, and you're signed out; the copy of your account on that device is removed too.
Copy or correct, or delete if you can't sign in: email support@sdwares.com from the address you sign in with. We'll respond within 30 days.
Opt out of sale: we don't sell personal information, but you can still send us an opt-out request at the address above.
Notifications: turn them off in the app or in your browser settings at any time.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom: we process your information to provide the service you ask for and, for security, on the basis of our legitimate interests. You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your information, to receive a copy of it, and to complain to your local data protection authority.

Children

My Radio is not directed to children under 13, and signing in requires a Google account, which needs the user to be at least 13 in most countries. If we learn that we stored information from a child under 13, we will delete it.

Security and where data is processed

All connections use HTTPS, access to stored data is restricted, and we keep only what the features need. No system is perfectly secure. Your information is processed in the United States and in other countries where our service providers operate.

Changes to this policy

We'll post any changes on this page and update the effective date. If a change is significant, we'll also tell you in the app.
