This policy explains what personal data UK Radio Stations processes when you use the site, why, and the rights you have under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
What we collect
- Usage data: pages visited, stations played, approximate location (country/region) and device type, used to run and improve the site.
- Contact messages: the name, email address and message you send through the contact form, used only to answer you.
- Local preferences: your favourite stations, volume and last station are stored in your own browser, not on our servers.
Cookies and advertising
We use cookies and similar technologies for basic site functions, audience measurement and, where enabled, advertising (for example Google AdSense). Where required, we ask for your consent first and you can change your choice at any time. Advertising partners may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
Radio streams
When you press play, your browser connects directly to the broadcaster’s streaming server, which receives your IP address and may apply its own terms and privacy policy.
How long we keep data
Contact messages are kept for up to 24 months. Aggregated statistics contain no personal data and may be kept longer.
Your rights
You can ask for access to, correction or deletion of your personal data, object to or restrict its processing, and withdraw consent at any time. Write to [email protected]. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
