Privacy Policy

GENERAL

  1. Our company (“Company”, and together with “Radio Station”, “we” or “us” or “our”), builds, hosts, maintains and manages the radio broadcast app (the “Radio App”) you have downloaded and are using. However, the Radio App itself is licensed from us by Mega-Philadelphia, LLC (the “Radio Station”). The Radio Station owns and controls the particular account on the app store from which you downloaded the Radio App, and the Radio Station has full control over all content transmitted through the Radio App. We do not have any ownership of or control over the content delivered over the Radio App, except to the extent that we may inlay and serve certain advertisements that you hear via the Radio App.  The reference to Radio App will also include, as and when appropriate for the context, where listeners access Radio Station broadcasts from our website or another website.
  2. The following privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) is designed to inform you, as a user of the Radio App, about the types of information that Company and/or Radio Station may gather or collect from you in connection with your access to the Radio App. It also is intended to explain the conditions under which Company and/or Radio Station uses and discloses that information, and your rights in relation to that information. This Privacy Policy can be updated from time to time and, therefore, we ask you to check back periodically for the latest version of this Privacy Policy.  
  3. The Radio App is hosted in the United States of America (“United States” or “U.S.”) and is subject to U.S. state and federal law. If you are accessing the Radio App from other jurisdictions, please be advised that you are transferring your personal information to us in the United States, and by accessing the Radio App, you consent to that transfer and use of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You also agree to abide by the applicable laws of applicable states and U.S. federal law concerning your access to the Radio App and your agreements with us. Any persons accessing the Radio App from any jurisdiction with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use and disclosure different from those of the jurisdictions mentioned above may only use the Radio App in a manner lawful in their jurisdiction. If your access to the Radio App would be unlawful in your jurisdiction, please do not access the Radio App.
  4. BY ACCESSING THE RADIO APP, YOU ARE ACCEPTING THE PRACTICES DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
  1. USE BY CHILDREN
    1. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) protects the online privacy of children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or maintain personal information from anyone under the age of 13, unless or except as permitted by law. Any person who provides personal information through the Radio App represents to us that he or she is 13 years of age or older. If we learn that personal information has been collected from a listener under 13 years of age through the Radio App, then we will take the appropriate steps to cause this information to be deleted. If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child under 13 who has become a user of the Radio App or has otherwise transferred personal information to us through the Radio App, please contact the Company using our contact information below to have that child’s personal information deleted.
  2. GATHERING, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF NON-PERSONALLY- IDENTIFYING INFORMATION
    1. This Privacy Policy regulates the processing of your personally-identifiable information. “Personally-Identifying Information,” is information such as a name, email address or telephone number that, without more, can be directly associated with a specific person. 
    2. We also collect and process “Non-Personally-Identifying Information” which is information that, without the aid of additional information, cannot be directly associated with a specific person. Company gathers from users of the Radio App Non-Personally-Identifying Information of the sort that devices, depending on their settings, may make available. That information includes, for users accessing the Radio App over the Internet, a user’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, and browser type. If you use a mobile device to access the Radio App or download any of our applications, we may collect device information (such as your mobile device ID, model and manufacturer), operating system and version information, and IP address. Company collects and analyzes Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from users of the Radio App to help Company better understand how the Radio App is being used, how to promote the Radio App, and for the delivery of targeted advertising. By identifying patterns and trends in usage, including radio station listening habits and patterns, Company is able to better design the Radio App to improve users’ experiences, both in terms of content, advertising and ease of use. From time to time, Company may also release the Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from the Radio App users in the aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends in the usage of the Radio App.
  3. LAWFUL BASES OF PROCESSING
    1. Where Company is acting as a data controller, that determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data, such as when we collect, use, and share personal data as described herein, we must have a lawful processing basis for doing so. The lawful bases we rely on for processing personal information are (if and when applicable): 
  1. Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party. For example, to respond to your customer service inquiries and requests for information;
  2. Our legitimate interest to facilitate the functionality of the Radio App, as well as to maintain, improve, and analyze our website, apps, advertisements, and the products and services, or in order to detect, prevent, or investigate security breaches or fraud;;
  3. In order to comply with our legal obligations, for example to maintain appropriate records for internal administrative purposes and as required by applicable law; and

  1. TOOLS USED IN CONNECTION WITH OUR SERVICES. 
    1. Web Cookies. A “Web Cookie” is a string of information which assigns you a unique identification that a website stores on your computer or device, and that the user’s browser provides each time the user logs on to or submits a query to the Radio App. We use cookies on the Radio App to keep track of services you have used and activities you have performed, radio stations you have listened to and listening and call-in habits, to record, if applicable, registration information regarding your login name and password, to record your use preferences, if applicable, to keep you logged into the Radio App, if applicable, and to facilitate purchase procedures, if applicable. Company also uses Web Cookies to track the pages that users visit and activities performed during each Radio App session, both to help Company improve users’ experiences and to help Company understand how the Radio App is being used. As with other Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from users of the Radio App, Company analyzes and discloses in aggregated form information gathered using Web Cookies, so as to help Company, its partners and others better understand how the Radio App is being used. Most browsers allow you to change your cookie settings. These settings will typically be found in the “options” or “preferences” menu of your browser. In order to understand these settings and learn how to use them, please consult the “Help” function of your browser, or the documentation published online for your particular browser type and version you can check if the procedure for your browser is mentioned in this explanatory website or here. USERS WHO DO NOT WISH TO HAVE WEB COOKIES PLACED ON THEIR COMPUTERS OR DEVICES SHOULD SET THEIR BROWSERS TO REFUSE WEB COOKIES BEFORE ACCESSING THE RADIO APP, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE RADIO APP MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT THE AID OF WEB COOKIES. USERS WHO REFUSE WEB COOKIES ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RESULTING LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY.
    2. Web Beacons. A “Web Beacon” is an object that is embedded in a web page or application that is usually invisible to the user and allows operators to check whether a user has viewed a particular web page, application or an email. Company may use Web Beacons on the Radio App and in emails to count users who have visited particular pages, viewed emails, and to deliver co-branded services. Web Beacons are not used to access users’ Personally-Identifying Information; they are a technique Company may use to compile aggregated statistics about the Radio App usage. Web Beacons collect only a limited set of information including a Web Cookie number, time and date of a page or email view, and a description of the page or email on which the Web Beacon resides. You may not decline Web Beacons,however, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all Web Cookies or modifying your browser setting to notify you each time a Web Cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline Web Cookies on an individual basis.
    3. Advertising Tools and Services. We or broadcasters may either directly or through third-party companies serve ads to you when you access the Radio App. Advertisers may use information about your use of the Radio App (including, without limitation, stations accessed, listening habits, and location of accessing telephone number) that are contained in Web Cookies, Flash Cookies or that we gather when you access the Radio App via a telephone (wireless or wired device) or other application or access method in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you. We also allow advertisers to choose the characteristics of listeners who will be presented with their advertisements and we may use any of the non-personally identifiable attributes we have collected to select the appropriate audience for those advertisements. If you are accessing the Radio App via the Internet, then using a tool created by the Network Advertising Initiative, you can opt out of several third party ad servers’ and networks’ Web Cookies simultaneously. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, please follow the following link:http://networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.Please contact us if you would like to know the identity of the third-party advertising companies we are currently using to serve ads.
    4. Analytic Tools. We use third party services that we use to track activity related to our services, such as Google Analytics and Google Firebase. We may use third-party vendors, including Google, who use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on your past activity on our applications, including Google Analytics for Display Advertising. If you do not want any information to be collected and used by Google Analytics, you can install an opt-out in your web browser (https:// tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/) and/or opt out from Google Analytics for Display Advertising or the Google Display Network. You can do so by using Google’s Ads Settings (www.google.com/settings/ads).Aggregated and Non-Personally Identifying Information we collect under any of the above circumstances we may share with third parties. We may also share it with third parties and our affiliate companies to develop and deliver targeted advertising on the Radio App and on websites of third parties. We may combine Non-Personally Identifying Information we collect with additional Non-Personally Identifying Information collected from other sources. We also may share aggregated information with third parties, including advisors, advertisers and investors, for the purpose of conducting general business analysis. For example, we may tell our advertisers the number of visitors to the Radio App and the most popular features or services accessed. This information does not contain any Personally-Identifying Information and may be used to develop website content and services that we hope you and other listeners will find of interest and to target content and advertising.
    5. Geo-Location Information. We derive certain inferences based upon your IP address, the telephone number that you use to access the Radio App, Wi Fi network data or cell tower triangulation. As such, we may record general non-specific locations. As stated above, we may also automatically collect anonymous information about you when you have geographical location tools on your Internet-enabled device which have not been disabled. We may also collect Non-Personally-Identifying anonymous information about you whenever you deliberately interact with one of our ads containing a quick response code or follow instructions to send a text, or visit a URL. If you have geo-location tools on your Internet-enabled device which you have not disabled, we may automatically receive information on your device’s location and may use it to comply with our contractual arrangements which restrict our sending certain programming channels outside of defined areas, such as when you want to listen to the Radio App while in another country.
    6. Mobile Analytics. We use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our mobile software on your mobile device. This software may record information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the application was downloaded from. 
  2. PUSH NOTIFICATIONS
