Radio stream

When connecting to our radio stream, your IP address will be sent to our radio service provider in order for us to track listening trends and provide licensing bodies with royalty reports. Once our service provider receives your IP it is immediately anonymised, deleted and becomes untraceable. This data is never sold on or passed to other companies.

For iOS Apps
The Love Medway Radio iOS App does not collect any user data when installed or launched on your device.

For Android Apps
The Love Medway Radio Android App does not collect any user data during use. In order to provide audio control during Phone App use, the App will monitor the 'state' of the phone App (Idle, in call, call ended) if applicable on your device.

The Android App also requires access to local storage. This is to store its configuration for faster launch times.
