Privacy Policy

Last updated:

1. Information We Collect

Bakwaas FM collects only the information needed to operate the service, keep the app stable, and respond to support requests. Depending on how you use the app, this can include:

  • Basic technical data such as device model, app version, operating system, IP address, and error logs
  • Streaming and usage events such as screens opened, playback attempts, search activity, and feature usage
  • Account-related data you choose to submit, such as login details, profile details, friend or room activity, and support emails
  • Push-notification tokens when notifications are enabled on your device

2. Content and Source Information

Bakwaas FM may display or process audio, station metadata, links, artwork, and related information from public or user-provided sources. Some music and media metadata in the app may be labeled with a source such as Google or another public provider. We use this source information to help users identify content, improve playback flows, and respond to rights-holder requests.

3. How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

  • Operate the app and backend services
  • Deliver playback, room, search, notification, and account features
  • Diagnose outages, abuse, and app crashes
  • Review content reports, copyright complaints, and child-safety concerns
  • Honor account deletion and data-removal requests

4. Third-Party Services

The app may rely on third-party infrastructure such as Google Play services, Firebase, hosting providers, and device platform analytics. These services may process technical information needed for crash reporting, notifications, security, and delivery of the service.

  • We do not sell personal information.
  • We do not use your contacts for advertising.
  • We do not share precise location data for marketing purposes.

5. User Choice and Controls

You control several parts of your experience. You may stop using the app, disable notifications in your device settings, remove imported content from your device, and contact us to request account deletion, correction, or removal of personal data we hold.

6. Children's Privacy

Bakwaas FM is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information through the service, contact us and we will review and delete the data where required.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

We keep data only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for operations, legal compliance, safety, dispute resolution, and abuse prevention. If you request account deletion or data removal, we will delete or anonymize applicable information unless we must keep specific records for legal or security reasons.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect stored information. No internet service is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, the updated date will appear on this page.
