Privacy policy — RoadCast

About RoadCast and this policy

This policy covers the RoadCast app for Android Automotive OS and this website. RoadCast is free, requires no subscription or account for radio, adds no ads and uses no advertising trackers. RoadCast does not build a listening profile on its server.

Local app data and permissions

Settings, favourites, recent stations and preference points are stored locally to arrange your start screen. Android may include app data in system backups and keep local diagnostic logs, including searches and playback. RoadCast uses internet and background media permissions, but requests no location, contacts, camera or microphone access.

Catalog requests

Catalog requests send the app and Android versions, device manufacturer and model, and selected catalog country. This country follows your choice or car settings, not GPS or IP geolocation.

Hosting and this website

Catalog and logo requests, and visits to this website, reach RoadCast’s hosting provider. Technical server logs may contain IP addresses, request paths and connection details.

Radio streams, artwork and external services

Radio streams connect directly to the station provider, which receives your IP address and technical connection data and may include advertising in its stream. To find cover artwork, MusicBrainz receives the artist and title; Cover Art Archive supplies images. These services and fallback logo sources such as NPO, FunX and Wikimedia receive your IP address and technical request data. Their own privacy policies apply.

Storage, deletion and email

You can clear local app data in Android settings; Android or your car manages system backups. Technical log retention depends on hosting settings. If you email us, we use your message and address to handle your request and retain the correspondence only as long as needed for that purpose.

Optional Spotify connection

Radio does not require Spotify. Spotify settings are currently hidden. If Spotify was linked in an earlier version, an existing authorisation may still be used to retrieve devices, playback information or search results from Spotify. Spotify’s own privacy policy applies.
