Privacy Policy

World Radio Online respects user privacy and keeps the radio directory available without registration.

Main principle

World Radio Online can be used without registration. Users do not need to provide a name, phone number, email address or account to search radio stations, browse countries and genres, open station pages or start an online stream.

We do not request passport details, payment data, home addresses or other information that is not needed for a radio directory.

What may be stored in the browser

A user's device may store favorite stations, recently opened stations, volume level and some player settings. These details are normally stored in the user's browser and are used only for convenience on that device.

Users can remove this data through browser settings by clearing site data. After clearing, favorites, recent stations and local settings will be reset.

Technical data when the site opens

Like most websites, the server and infrastructure may automatically receive technical details such as IP address, request date and time, page URL, browser type, device, server response code and similar technical parameters.

This information is used to keep the site stable, diagnose unavailable pages, improve loading speed and understand which parts of the catalog need correction.

Search and player actions

When users search, filter, add favorites or press the play button, the site may process anonymized interface events such as a search action, a station page opening or a play start.

These events help improve navigation, detect broken stations and improve catalog quality. They do not require registration and are not intended to identify a person.

External streams and station websites

The catalog contains links to public online streams and official radio station websites. When a user starts a stream, the browser may connect to an external stream address owned by a station or its technical provider.

External websites and streaming servers operate under their own rules. World Radio Online does not control their policies, access logs, cookies, stream quality or stream availability.

Cookies and similar technologies

The site may use technical cookies or similar browser mechanisms when they are needed for security, correct interface behavior, saved user settings or technical diagnostics.

Users can restrict or remove cookies through browser settings. Some features, such as saving local settings, may work in a limited way after that.

Data sharing

We do not sell users' personal data. Data may be shared only when it is necessary for site operation, legal compliance, user rights protection, technical incident handling or response to a lawful request from a competent authority.

If a user opens an official station website or starts an external stream, further processing on that website or server is governed by the rules of the relevant owner.

User rights

Users may stop using the site, clear site data in the browser, disable cookies, avoid saving favorite stations and avoid opening external station websites.

Policy changes

This policy may be updated when site functionality, catalog structure, storage methods or legal requirements change.
