In the web player: favorites and settings, in your browser
Favorites, filters, and similar preferences are saved in your browser’s local storage so they’re still there next time. They never leave your device, and clearing site data removes them.
What WorldTune stores, and how to get it deleted.
This policy covers the WorldTune Android app, the web player, and the services behind them. It’s short on purpose: we don’t ask you to create an account, and the little we do keep is described below, along with the third parties involved and how to ask us to delete something.
Web player
Browser storage, app favorites, ads, third-party services, and deletion requests, in that order.
What we keep
In the Android app: a device identifier and your favorites
So that favorites can be restored, the app stores an identifier for your device, the device type, and the list of stations you’ve saved under it. That record has no name, email, or phone number attached.
No account, ever
You can browse and play any station in the app or the web player without signing up for anything.
Streams and services run by other people
WorldTune doesn’t host radio streams. Each one is published and controlled by its broadcaster, who decides whether it’s online, where it can be heard, and what information it carries.
When you press play, your device or browser connects to that broadcaster’s server, sometimes through our proxy so that older plain-HTTP streams still work on a secure page. Either way, the broadcaster sees a connection and handles it under its own rules.
Behind the scenes we rely on a few outside services: a community radio directory for catalog updates, music databases for cover art and artist info, lyrics sources, Google Analytics, Google Play for distribution, and advertising when it’s switched on. Each of those runs under its own privacy terms.
When ads are active, the ad partner may set cookies or read signals from the app SDK to deliver, measure, and sometimes personalize them. Your device and browser settings control a good part of that.
Privacy questions and data requests go to [email protected]. Anything else, [email protected].
How to have your app data deleted
Email [email protected] and we’ll remove the record linked to your device. A few details make it quick:
- Put something like App data deletion request in the subject line.
- Mention that it’s about the WorldTune Android app.
- Include the device identifier shown in the app if you can find it. That’s the fastest way for us to locate the record.
- If you don’t have the identifier, tell us roughly when you used the app and name a few stations you saved. That’s often enough to find it.
Since there’s no account, the identifier is the only thing that ties a record to you. If we can’t match your request to a record with confidence, we’ll write back and ask for a bit more before deleting anything.
Your options, and changes to this page
Web player data
It’s all in your browser. Clear the site’s storage and it’s gone. No request needed.
Uninstalling the app
Uninstalling removes the app from your phone, but the favorites record tied to your device identifier stays on our side until it ages out or you ask us to delete it.
When this policy changes
We’ll update this page if what we store or who we work with changes, for example if ads are turned on or off. Questions about any of it: [email protected].
