Navtarang Media Group (“Navtarang”, “we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website www.navtarang.com.au and the Navtarang Radio Sydney mobile applications for iOS and Android (the “App”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.
1. Information we collect
Through the Navtarang Radio App
The Navtarang Radio App does not ask for or store any personally identifying information about you. There is no sign-in, account, registration, profile, GPS location tracking, contact-list access, or microphone use. The only third-party software in the App that collects data is Google’s advertising software, described under Advertising (Google AdMob) below.
When you press play, the App makes a standard HTTPS request to our streaming server in order to receive the live audio broadcast. Our server logs the IP address and the time of connection only to keep the stream reliable and to protect against abuse. Those logs are automatically rotated and deleted within 14 days. They are not linked to any identity and are never shared with third parties. We also keep anonymous listening statistics: the country a connection comes from, the platform used (website, iPhone app or Android app) and how long the stream was played. The IP address is used only to work out the country and is not stored with these statistics.
Advertising (Google AdMob). The App is free to use and shows ads provided by Google AdMob: a banner under the player, and occasionally a full-screen ad after you press Stop (never while the radio is playing). To show and measure these ads, Google’s ads software in the App may collect your approximate location (based on your IP address), a device identifier, information about how you interact with the ads, and crash and performance data. This data is not linked to your identity by us. The App does not ask for permission to track you across other companies’ apps and websites, and on iPhone it does not access the advertising identifier (IDFA). Google uses this data as described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. Visitors in the EU, UK or Switzerland are asked for consent before personalised ads are shown. You can reset or limit ad tracking at any time in your phone’s settings.
If you use the App’s share button, the standard iOS / Android share sheet is shown. We do not receive any information about who you share with or whether a share completes.
If you tap a social-media link in the App, the link opens in your phone’s browser or the relevant social-media app. From that point, the third-party platform’s own privacy policy applies, not ours.
Through the navtarang.com.au website
Our website uses standard server logs (IP address, browser type, requested pages, timestamps) for security, debugging, and traffic statistics. We also use Matomo, a privacy-focused analytics tool that runs on our own web server, to understand how the website is used (for example pages viewed, approximate location and device type). Matomo is set up without cookies, shortens IP addresses before storing them, and its data is not shared with anyone. The website may also set basic cookies needed for WordPress and its plugins to function (for example, login session cookies for authorised editors). We do not run any third-party advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking pixels on the website.
2. How we use information
- To deliver the live radio stream and keep the website running.
- To diagnose technical problems and protect against abuse or attack.
- To respond to enquiries you send us by email.
- To understand, in anonymous and aggregated form, how many people listen and use the website, so we can improve our service.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your information. Apart from the in-app ads described above, which are delivered by Google AdMob, we do not use your information for advertising or marketing.
3. Third-party services we rely on
Google AdMob (Google LLC) delivers and measures the ads shown in the App. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
To deliver the audio stream securely the App connects to a streaming relay that we operate on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The relay delivers the audio and records the anonymous listening statistics described above; it does not store IP addresses with those statistics.
The website is hosted on GoDaddy. Apple App Store and Google Play handle App distribution and may collect their own crash and usage diagnostics in accordance with their respective privacy policies, which we do not control.
4. Children’s privacy
The App is suitable for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will delete it.
5. Your rights
Because the App collects no personal information, there is no personal data of yours for us to provide, correct, or delete. For website-related requests (for example, an email enquiry you previously sent), you may contact us at the address below to ask for a copy of what we hold or to have it deleted.
6. Security
All App traffic to our streaming relay is encrypted with HTTPS / TLS. The website is served over HTTPS. We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect the limited information we do hold.
7. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Significant changes will also be announced on the website’s home page.
