Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Golden Radio Hour handles information when you use the Golden Radio Hour website, Android and iOS applications, streaming player, and related services.
1. About Golden Radio Hour
Golden Radio Hour provides access to classic old time radio programming, streaming audio, curated collections, radio history, newsletters, and other related content.
The Golden Radio Hour Android and iOS applications may access online content hosted on the Golden Radio Hour website and other online services. Because much of this content is delivered over the internet, certain technical information may be transmitted when you use the app or website.
2. Information We May Collect
Golden Radio Hour does not require you to create an account to listen to our old time radio programming.
When you access Golden Radio Hour, we or service providers used to operate the website and app may automatically receive limited technical information associated with your visit. This may include:
- Internet Protocol (IP) address
- Approximate geographic location derived from an IP address
- Device type
- Operating system
- Browser or WebView information
- Pages or features viewed
- General usage and interaction information
- Diagnostic and performance information
This information may be used to understand how Golden Radio Hour is being used, maintain the service, improve performance, and improve the listening experience.
3. Analytics
Golden Radio Hour may use website analytics and similar technologies to understand general traffic and usage patterns.
Analytics information may include page views, interactions, device and browser information, general traffic information, and approximate location inferred from an IP address.
We use this information to understand how listeners use Golden Radio Hour, identify popular content, monitor performance, and improve our website, application, and services.
The Golden Radio Hour Android and iOS applications use Google Firebase Analytics to measure app usage and interactions, and Firebase Crashlytics to help identify crashes, errors, and performance problems. These services may process app-instance information, device and operating-system information, usage events, and diagnostic or crash information as needed to provide analytics and reliability services. Golden Radio Hour also uses Firebase Cloud Messaging for optional push notifications, which may process an app instance or device token needed to deliver notifications.
4. Streaming and Online Content
Audio programs and other Golden Radio Hour content may be streamed from online servers rather than being included directly with the initial application download.
Connecting to these services requires your device to communicate with internet servers. Standard technical information, including your IP address and information necessary to deliver the requested content, may therefore be transmitted as part of providing the service.
5. Newsletter and Information You Choose to Provide
Golden Radio Hour may offer an optional email newsletter or similar communications.
If you voluntarily subscribe, information you provide, such as your email address, may be processed for the purpose of delivering the newsletter and related Golden Radio Hour communications.
Newsletter subscriptions are optional. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe option provided in those communications.
6. Third-Party Services and External Links
Golden Radio Hour may contain embedded content or links to services operated by third parties. These may include social-media services, video platforms, newsletter providers, online stores, support or donation services, analytics providers, and other external websites.
When you interact with a third-party service, that service may collect information according to its own privacy policy and terms. Golden Radio Hour does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party services.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing personal information to them.
The Golden Radio Hour Android application may use Google AdMob to display advertising. Depending on your location, applicable law, and the privacy choices you make, Google and its advertising partners may serve personalized or non-personalized ads. AdMob and its partners may process information such as device identifiers, IP address, approximate location derived from an IP address, ad interactions, and technical or diagnostic information for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and compliance.
Where required, Golden Radio Hour uses Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request advertising consent or present privacy choices before ads are requested. You may also be able to review or change those choices from within the application when privacy options are required.
7. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Golden Radio Hour website may use Google AdSense to display advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor’s prior visits to Golden Radio Hour or other websites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to Golden Radio Hour and/or other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Users may also visit AboutAds.info to learn about opting out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising.
Before personalized website advertising is requested in regions where consent is required, Golden Radio Hour will use a Google-certified consent management platform to present the required consent or privacy choices.
The Golden Radio Hour website and services embedded within it may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies where necessary to provide functionality, remember preferences, measure usage, or support third-party services.
When the Golden Radio Hour website is accessed through the Android application, certain web-based storage technologies may also operate within the application’s web content.
8. How We Use Information
Information collected through Golden Radio Hour may be used to:
- Provide and maintain the website and application
- Deliver requested audio and online content
- Measure usage and understand how listeners use the service
- Monitor technical performance
- Diagnose and correct errors
- Improve features, navigation, and content
- Deliver newsletters when a listener voluntarily subscribes
- Protect the security and integrity of our services
9. Selling Personal Information
Golden Radio Hour does not sell personal information in exchange for money.
10. Data Retention
Information may be retained for only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including operating and improving Golden Radio Hour, maintaining security, complying with legal obligations, and resolving technical issues.
Retention periods may vary when information is processed by third-party service providers according to their own policies.
11. Children’s Privacy
Golden Radio Hour is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed toward children.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through the Golden Radio Hour application.
12. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information associated with Golden Radio Hour. However, no internet transmission, website, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
13. Your Choices
You may choose not to subscribe to the Golden Radio Hour newsletter, may unsubscribe from email communications, and may choose whether to interact with external third-party services linked from Golden Radio Hour.
Depending on your location, you may also have rights regarding certain personal information under applicable privacy laws.
When advertising privacy choices are required, the Golden Radio Hour Android application provides a Privacy Choices option that can be used to review or change advertising consent choices presented through Google’s User Messaging Platform.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
Golden Radio Hour may update this Privacy Policy as our website, application, features, or service providers change.
When this policy is updated, the revised date will be displayed at the top of this page.
