Indifun Radio — including the indifun.net website and the Indifun Radio mobile app — is owned and operated by Uday Technovations (udaytechnovations.com). In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" refer to Uday Technovations.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide better services to all our users. The types of information we collect include:
- IP addresses for request rate limiting and abuse prevention
- Song request history and preferences
- Names and dedication messages voluntarily submitted with song requests (optional)
- Contact form submissions
- Listening statistics (anonymous, aggregate)
We do not require user accounts, and we do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, precise location, or any other personal information unless you voluntarily provide it (for example, in a dedication or contact form).
2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and maintain our service
- Prevent abuse and spam
- Improve user experience
- Respond to user requests
- Analyze service usage patterns
3. The Indifun Radio Mobile App
This section applies to the Indifun Radio app for Android, available on Google Play.
- No accounts, no sign-up: the app does not require registration and does not collect personal information.
- Local-only preferences: your liked songs and app settings are stored only on your device. They are never uploaded to our servers, and they are deleted when you uninstall the app or clear its data.
- Song requests: when you submit a song request, the request — along with any optional name and dedication message you enter — is sent to our servers, together with your IP address for rate limiting (see Section 1).
- Album artwork: the app queries the Apple iTunes Search API to display album artwork. These queries contain only song metadata (title, artist, album) — never any information about you or your device.
- Anonymous device ID: the app generates a random identifier (a UUID) stored on your device. It is not linked to your name, email, phone number, or any account, and cannot by itself identify you. We use it only to count app installs, measure aggregate listening time, and avoid double-counting the same device.
- Push notifications: if you allow notifications, the app registers a push token with our servers so we can send occasional updates about the station (such as new features or announcements). The token is associated only with the anonymous device ID above. You can turn notifications off at any time in your device settings, or decline the permission when first asked.
- No advertising or analytics SDKs: the app contains no third-party advertising or analytics libraries.
- App permissions: the app requests Internet access (to stream the radio), foreground-service / wake-lock permissions (to keep music playing while your screen is off or you use other apps), and — optionally — notification permission (to send you station updates; you can decline or revoke this at any time). It does not request access to your contacts, camera, microphone, location, or files.
4. Public Content — Dedications
Names and dedication messages submitted with song requests may be displayed publicly — on air, on our website's dedication wall, and in the app — alongside the requested song. Do not include personal information you do not want made public. To have a dedication removed, contact us (see Section 12).
5. Information Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.
6. Data Security
We implement appropriate security measures to protect your data.
7. Data Retention & Deletion
Song request logs and listening statistics are kept for service operation and historical charts. IP addresses are used for rate limiting and abuse prevention. Anonymous app device data (the device ID, aggregate listening time, and push token described in Section 3) is retained while the app is installed and is removed when you uninstall the app or clear its data. You may request deletion of any personal information you have submitted (such as a name or dedication) by contacting us at the address in Section 12, and we will action it within a reasonable timeframe.
8. Cookies and Tracking
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and remember your preferences. We use the following third-party services on the website, each of which may set its own cookies and is governed by its own privacy policy:
- Google Analytics — anonymous usage statistics
- StatCounter — anonymous visit counting
- Google AdSense — advertising; Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits. You can opt out of personalised advertising via Google Ads Settings.
The mobile app does not use cookies or any tracking technologies.
