AirFM is an online radio discovery website at airfm.io. AirFM is a privately operated project, not a registered company. Operator: Martin Stoilov. Privacy contact: info@airfm.io. Postal address: Seyringer Straße 3/4/13, 1210 Wien, Austria.
Your device connects to our hosting provider, Hostinger, to load AirFM. Technical information such as your IP address, browser information, requested pages and request times may be processed to deliver the site, diagnose problems and protect the service. Hosting and security records are subject to the applicable hosting configuration and provider practices. Technical logs are retained only as needed for service operation, incident investigation and applicable legal obligations; their storage is managed through the hosting service. Contact us for information about a specific record.
Station information comes from Radio Browser. Search, station lists and playback click reporting send requests to Radio Browser API servers. When you play a station, your browser connects directly to that broadcaster or its streaming provider. They receive connection information such as your IP address and browser details and may apply their own privacy practices. Station logos and linked station websites may also be supplied by external providers. AirFM does not relay or record the audio you listen to.
The site currently loads fonts from Google Fonts and supporting libraries from unpkg and jsDelivr. Loading these resources establishes connections to their providers. Maps use Natural Earth geographic data hosted with AirFM.
AirFM uses ipwho.is to determine an approximate region from an IP address so it can suggest a map region, language and local stations. This lookup may be made by our server using the visitor connection address, or directly by the browser as a fallback. The approximate region result is cached in your browser and refreshed after about six hours. It is an estimate and may be inaccurate.
Precise device location is requested only when you choose the location button and grant the browser's location permission. You can decline or revoke that permission through your browser settings. This location is used to move the map.
AirFM stores favorites, the selected interface language, the last map view, approximate region information and up to 20 recently played stations with listening timestamps in local storage. These preferences remain in that browser; the current version does not provide account-based synchronization. You can clear recent history in AirFM and remove other stored preferences through your browser's site-data controls.
A random browser-session token is stored in session storage. While the page is visible, AirFM periodically sends it to the website to estimate the number of active sessions. The counter stores a hash of the token and its latest activity time; records older than 90 seconds are removed when the counter is updated. The counter itself does not store IP addresses. Hosting logs may separately contain normal request information.
AirFM has connected Google AdSense and requested site review. The presence of the AdSense script does not mean advertising has been approved or that ads are currently displayed. When Google advertising services are loaded, Google may receive information such as the page URL, IP address and device or browser details.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies and similar technologies to serve advertising based on prior visits to this and other websites. Google's advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to personalize ads based on those visits, subject to applicable consent choices and settings. Other advertising vendors may also participate; the consent interface provides information about the configured partners and purposes when it is available.
You can manage Google ad personalization through Google Ad Settings. Read how Google uses information from partner sites and Google's Privacy Policy.
Google's European consent message is configured for eligible visitors in the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland with Consent, Do not consent and Manage options. Where the message is available, you can accept, decline or customize advertising choices. You can revisit those choices through Privacy choices. Google's automatic display can depend on your region, browser settings, blocking software and the site's AdSense approval status. If the consent service is unavailable, the link brings you to this explanation; you can also contact info@airfm.io.
Declining optional advertising consent does not require creating an AirFM account or paying for radio access. Withdrawing consent affects future processing and does not undo processing that already took place. Consent records may be stored by Google's consent management service; its interface and provider notices describe the available choices.
Depending on the law that applies, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion or restriction of personal data, data portability, or to object to certain processing. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it for future processing. Contact the operator using the public contact above. You may also contact the relevant data-protection authority. Requests about a broadcaster's or another provider's separate processing should be directed to that provider.
External providers may process information in countries outside your own. Their privacy notices describe their processing, retention and safeguards. Local browser preferences remain until you remove the data or the application replaces it; approximate-region freshness and online-counter retention are described above. Messages sent to info@airfm.io are kept for responding to and documenting the request, and longer only where a legal obligation or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims requires it.
Where the GDPR applies, processing needed to deliver and secure the website, retrieve station information and maintain an approximate active-session counter is based on our legitimate interests in operating a functioning and secure radio directory (Article 6(1)(f)). Optional advertising personalization and device-storage access requiring consent rely on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) and applicable cookie rules). Browser preferences support functions you request, such as keeping favorites and your language choice. Your browser separately controls permission for precise location. When you contact us, we process the information to answer your request and, where relevant, meet legal obligations (Article 6(1)(c)).
We do not sell an AirFM user database. A broadcaster or another external provider may determine its own purposes and legal grounds; its privacy notice applies to its separate processing.
You may lodge a complaint with your competent supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Austrian Data Protection Authority (Datenschutzbehörde).
