If you choose to sign in using Google, we may receive information that Google makes available to us through the authentication process, such as your name, email address, and profile information associated with your Google account.

We use this information to authenticate your account, maintain your profile, and provide the features associated with your Radio 254 or PlayKE account.

We do not receive your Google password.

Content submitted for public distribution, music discovery, broadcasting, or other public features may be displayed or made available to other users of the Service.

You should not upload information that you do not have permission to share.

We may use information we collect to:

  • Create and maintain user accounts
  • Authenticate users
  • Provide the Radio 254 and PlayKE services
  • Distinguish between listener and creative accounts
  • Provide music, audio, streaming, and broadcasting features

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information when necessary to operate and maintain the Service, including with technology and service providers that help us provide services such as hosting, authentication, database services, content delivery, payment processing, analytics, security, or other technical functions.

We may also disclose information when we believe disclosure is reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with applicable law or legal process
  • Protect our rights or property
  • Protect the safety of users or others
  • Investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents
  • Enforce our terms, policies, or agreements

If you choose to make creative content publicly available through the Service, information associated with that public content may be visible to other users.

4. Publicly Available Information

Certain information and content may be publicly displayed when you choose to use features designed for public participation.

For example, creative users may have publicly visible artist profiles, music submissions, artwork, audio content, or other information associated with their public submissions.

Please consider carefully what information you include in publicly available content.

5. Payments

Certain Radio 254 services or products may involve payments.

When you make a payment, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment provider. Radio 254 does not need to receive or store your complete payment-card information in order to provide payment-related services.

Payment providers may have their own privacy policies governing how payment information is handled.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Service may use cookies, local storage, session technologies, or similar technologies to provide functionality, maintain sessions, remember preferences, improve security, and support the operation of the website or application.

You may be able to control certain cookie or browser-storage settings through your device or browser.

Disabling certain technologies may affect the functionality of portions of the Service.

7. Device and Technical Information

When you access the Service, certain technical information may be processed automatically by the systems used to operate the website or application.

This may include information such as IP address, browser or device type, operating system, network information, application information, and technical logs.

This information may be used for security, troubleshooting, performance, and operation of the Service.

8. Microphone and Broadcasting Features

PlayKE may provide features that allow creative users to participate in live audio or broadcasting.

If you choose to use a feature that requires microphone access, the application may request permission to access your device microphone.

Microphone access is used to provide the broadcasting or audio feature you have requested.

You can control microphone permissions through your device settings. If microphone access is denied, certain broadcasting features may not function.

You should only broadcast content that you have the right to transmit.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Service is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information to us in a manner that violates applicable law, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable measures designed to protect information processed through the Service against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no website, application, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, maintain accounts, fulfill legitimate business and operational purposes, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

12. Account and Data Deletion

If you have an account and would like to request deletion of your account or personal information, you may contact Radio 254 using the contact information provided below.

When legally and operationally appropriate, we will process requests to delete personal information associated with an account.

Some information may need to be retained when required by law, necessary to protect our legitimate interests, or reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or other lawful purposes.

13. Third-Party Services

The Service may use third-party services to provide authentication, hosting, databases, payments, streaming, communications, security, analytics, or other functionality.

These third parties may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

Examples may include services such as Google authentication, Supabase, payment providers, hosting providers, content-delivery services, and other technology providers used to operate the Service.

Radio 254 does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party services.

14. Links to Other Websites

The Service may contain links to websites, applications, or services operated by third parties.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites or services.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing personal information.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our services, technology, legal requirements, or privacy practices.

When we make changes, we will update the “Effective Date” at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.

Your continued use of the Service after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective means that you acknowledge the updated policy.
