Introduction

AirWave is an internet radio app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Apple Watch and CarPlay, made by DareConcepts. AirWave has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking, and we do not run servers that receive data about you. To play radio and show what's on, the app does connect directly to a few services. This page explains which ones, what they receive and why.

What We Don't Do

• No account — You don't need to sign up, and we don't ask for your name or email address.
• No analytics or tracking — The app contains no analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs, and does not use the advertising identifier.
• No listening history for us — We don't receive which stations you listen to or for how long.
• No location — AirWave doesn't access your location. On first launch it uses your device's region setting to suggest stations from your country.
• No selling — We don't sell or share data with advertisers or data brokers.

Data Stored on Your Device

Your favorites, recently played stations, recently heard songs, settings and recordings are stored on your device. If you connect Last.fm, its session key is kept in the device's keychain. Deleting the app removes this data.

iCloud (AirWave Pro)

With AirWave Pro and iCloud sync turned on, your favorites, chosen countries, hidden stations and custom stations are synced between your devices through your own iCloud account. You can also choose to save recordings in iCloud Drive. This data is stored by Apple in your iCloud account; we have no access to it. You can turn sync off in AirWave's settings or in your device's iCloud settings.

Services AirWave Connects To

These connections go directly from your device to the service. Like any internet connection, they reveal your IP address to that service.

• Radio stations — Streams and station logos are loaded directly from the stations' own servers, which see which stream you request.
• Radio Browser (radio-browser.info) — The public station directory. AirWave requests station lists per country, and station details when you open a shared station link.
• Apple (iTunes Search API) — To show album art and song details, the song title the station broadcasts and your region are sent to Apple's music catalog search. Song previews and Apple Music links are only loaded when you tap them.
• Spotify — Only when you choose to open a song in Spotify; the song title is passed in the link.
• Last.fm (optional) — Off by default. Only after you connect your Last.fm account, AirWave sends the artist, title and time of the songs you listen to (scrobbling). You connect on Last.fm's own website, and you can disconnect at any time in AirWave's settings.
• Sonos speakers (optional) — Off by default. Only after you turn on Sonos in AirWave's settings does AirWave look for Sonos speakers on your local network. When you play on one, your device sends the speaker the station's name, logo and stream address, and the speaker loads the stream itself. These commands stay on your network.

These services only receive what's needed for the feature, and their own privacy policies apply. AirWave shares no data with anyone else.

Purchases

AirWave Pro is sold through the App Store. Apple handles payment; we don't receive your payment details or Apple Account information. The app checks your subscription status with Apple on your device.

Apple Watch, Handoff and Siri

The Apple Watch app gets your favorites from your iPhone, and Handoff passes the station you're listening to between your devices. Both use Apple's own systems. Siri and Shortcuts requests are handled by Apple.

Keeping and Deleting Your Data

Because we don't hold any data about you, there's nothing for us to keep or delete. To remove your data: delete the app to remove what's on your device, turn off iCloud sync in AirWave and delete any recordings you saved in iCloud Drive, and disconnect Last.fm in the app and manage your scrobbles on last.fm.

This Website

This website (getairwave.app) uses Google Analytics to count visits. The app itself does not.

Children's Privacy

AirWave has no accounts and we don't collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes to This Policy

If AirWave changes how it handles data, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
