Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2025-12-13

Roam FM ("we", "us", or "our") is a macOS menu bar app that helps you discover and listen to random live radio stations from around the world. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use Roam FM and any related pages that link to this Policy.

1. Summary

Roam FM is designed to work without an account and without analytics tracking. We aim to collect as little personal information as possible.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information you provide

Roam FM does not require you to create an account. If you contact us by email, we will receive the information you choose to share, such as your email address and the content of your message.

2.2 Limited technical information

We do not actively collect analytics data. However, some limited technical information may be processed as part of normal operation:

  1. Local storage: Roam FM uses local storage to save your preferences (such as language filters and globe theme). This data is stored only on your device and is not transmitted to us.
  2. App and device context: If you contact us for support, you may choose to include device or app information (such as macOS version or app version) to help us troubleshoot.

3. How We Use Information

We use information only for the following purposes:

  • To respond to your support requests
  • To improve the Service based on feedback

We do not sell or share your information with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

4. Third-Party Services

Roam FM connects to third-party radio streams and uses the Radio Browser API to retrieve station data. When you play a station, your device connects directly to that station's stream server.

Roam FM does not control how these third parties handle data. Please review their privacy practices if you have concerns.

5. Data Retention

We retain support emails for as long as necessary to respond to you and maintain reasonable records. Roam FM does not operate an account system and does not store a user profile database.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information you have provided to us (for example, support emails). To request this, contact us at the email below.

7. Children's Privacy

Roam FM is not intended for children under the age where parental consent is required by applicable law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
