Welcome to ACAO Talk Radio (« we, » « our, » or « us »). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled securely. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit our website, use our Android and iOS apps, or interact with our services. By accessing or using ACAO Talk Radio, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
1.1. Information You Provide: We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, such as your name, email address, phone number, and any other information you provide when interacting with our services, participating in contests or surveys, or contacting us.
1.2. Automatically Collected Information: When you use ACAO Talk Radio, we may automatically collect certain information, including your IP address, browser type, device information, and usage patterns. We may also collect information about the content you access, your interactions with our services, and how you arrived at our website or app.
When connecting to our radio stream, your IP address will be sent to our radio service provider in order for us to track listening trends and provide licensing bodies with royalty reports. Once our service provider receives your IP it is immediately anonymized, deleted and becomes untraceable. This data is never sold on or passed to other companies.
For iOS Apps
The ACAO Talk Radio iOS App does not collect any user data when installed or launched on your device.
For Android Apps
The ACAO Talk Radio Android App does not collect any user data during use. In order to provide audio control during Phone App use, the App will monitor the ‘state’ of the phone App (Idle, in call, call ended) if applicable on your device. At no point will the App be able to listen in or derive phone numbers or data.
The Android App also requires access to local storage. This is to store its configuration for faster launch times.

8. Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
9. Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
10. Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
11. How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
12. What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
