Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

1. Who We Are

WaveLoka is a radio streaming directory app developed and operated by:
Igor Maderic – Softwareentwicklung (sole proprietorship)

2. What Data We Collect

WaveLoka is designed to collect as little data as possible. Here is what the app processes:

3. Data We Do Not Collect

4. Advertising (Google AdMob)

WaveLoka uses Google AdMob to display banner ads and audio pre-roll ads. AdMob may collect and use:

This data is processed by Google LLC under their own privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy

In the EEA, AdMob only personalises ads with your consent, which is requested on first launch via a consent dialog (UMP SDK).

Ad-Free feature: The Ad-Free feature removes only ads served by WaveLoka — the banner at the bottom of the screen and the audio pre-roll (played once per session and after every three station switches). It does not affect advertisements that radio stations insert directly into their own streams. WaveLoka has no control over those stream-injected ads.

5. Radio Streams & Third-Party Data Collection

WaveLoka does not host, provide, or relay any audio streams of its own. Every stream is published and operated by the respective radio broadcaster. When you play a station, WaveLoka connects your device directly to the audio stream server operated by that broadcaster. As part of this connection, the station's server receives your IP address and may collect other technical data such as connection time, data volume, and streaming client information — as part of normal server operation.

WaveLoka has no control over, and bears no responsibility for, any data collected by radio stations or their streaming infrastructure. Each station operates under its own privacy policy. If you have concerns about a specific station's data practices, please refer to that station's privacy policy directly.

This data flow is inherent to how internet radio streaming works and cannot be prevented while using the app's core playback functionality.

6. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

7. Your Rights Under GDPR

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, and restrict processing of your personal data, as well as the right to object and data portability.

Since WaveLoka does not store personal data on its own servers, most of these rights are exercised through your Android device settings or Google's privacy tools at myaccount.google.com.

For any privacy requests: igor.maderic.dev@gmail.com

8. Data Retention

WaveLoka stores no personal data on its own servers. All local data (favorites, history, preferences) remains on your device and is deleted when you uninstall the app.

9. Children

WaveLoka is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
