PRIVACY POLICY
How Hype FM handles information when you use the app. Effective date: October 12, 2026.
1. Introduction
Hype FM (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the Hype FM mobile application (“the App”) handles information when you use our services.
The App may provide access to live radio streaming, audio and video content, advertisements, social media links, and other station-related features.
By using the App, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Collect
The information processed by the App depends on the features you use and the services integrated into the App.
Information you provide
If you contact us by email, telephone, or a linked messaging service, we may receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, contact details, and message.
Device and usage information
Our streaming, hosting, analytics, or advertising providers may process certain information, which may include:
- Device type and operating system.
- App activity and diagnostic information.
- IP address and approximate location derived from it.
- Streaming activity and technical connection information.
- Advertising identifiers, where applicable.
We will disclose and handle these data categories according to the services actually used by the App.
Audio and video streaming
When you listen to Hype FM or watch available video streams, the streaming service may process technical information necessary to deliver the content and maintain service reliability.
The App does not intentionally access your microphone, contacts, photos, or precise location unless a feature requires such access and the appropriate permission is requested.
3. How We Use Information
Information processed through the App may be used to:
- Provide live radio and video streaming.
- Maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the App.
- Respond to messages and enquiries.
- Measure performance and understand usage, where analytics are enabled.
- Display advertisements, where advertising services are integrated.
- Protect the App and its services against misuse.
4. Advertising and Third-Party Services
The App may contain advertising or links to third-party websites and services.
Depending on the integrations used, third parties may include streaming providers, website hosting services, analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms.
These providers may process information under their own privacy policies. When you open an external website or social media service, its privacy practices apply to your activity on that service.
We will identify the relevant third-party services in this policy when their use in the App has been confirmed.
5. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information as part of our ordinary operating practices.
Information may be shared with service providers when necessary to operate the App, deliver streaming content, provide technical support, or perform analytics or advertising functions.
Information may also be disclosed when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, security, and integrity of our services.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information processed through the App. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
The security of information processed by third-party services is also subject to their respective safeguards and practices.
7. Data Retention and Deletion
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, subject to applicable legal and operational requirements.
Information submitted directly to us may be deleted upon request where appropriate and where we are not legally required to retain it.
If the App supports account registration, users will be provided with an appropriate account deletion process, including deletion of associated data as required by applicable policies and law.
8. Children’s Privacy
The App is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children without the required authorization or safeguards.
If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action.
9. External Links
The App may link to our website, social media pages, messaging services, or other external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party services.
Please review the applicable privacy policy before providing personal information to an external service.
10. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information.
