WaveTune Radio

Last Updated: July 25, 2026

1. Overview

avih6 built WaveTune Radio as a Free app. This SERVICE is provided at no cost and is intended for use as is. This page informs visitors regarding policies with the handling, use, and disclosure of personal information when using this service.

By using the Service, there is an agreement to the policies described herein. WaveTune Radio is designed with a privacy-first approach; we do not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data.

2. Data Handling & Storage

The application is designed to function primarily offline and locally for user-specific data:

Local User Preferences

To enhance your experience, the app stores your preferences—such as favorite stations, listening history, custom settings, and radio alarms—locally on your device using Android's SharedPreferences or equivalent local storage mechanisms. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted anywhere.

Stream Recordings

If you use the built-in recording feature, the audio files are stored exclusively on your device's local storage. These recordings are private and are never uploaded to any server or shared with third parties.

3. Technical Data & Analytics

To ensure technical stability and optimize performance, the App utilizes third-party providers that process anonymous or pseudonymous information:

Anonymized Analytics

We use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the app is used and analyze user behavior on an aggregated level. This data is anonymized and does not include personal identifiers such as email addresses or device identifiers.

Crash Reporting & Performance

We use Firebase Crashlytics and Performance Monitoring to collect technical logs, stack traces, and performance metrics. This information is used solely to identify and fix bugs and optimize the app's performance. No personal data is included in these reports.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

The app interacts with several external services to function:

• Radio-Browser API: Used to fetch the directory of radio stations.
• Google Analytics for Firebase: Used for anonymized usage analysis.
• Firebase Crashlytics: Used for technical stability monitoring.
• Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): Station logos and flags are fetched from external sources (e.g., flagcdn.com).

Interacting with these services involve standard HTTP requests that include your IP address, which is necessary for data transmission. For more information, please review the privacy policies of these services:
