Effective Date: August 13, 2025

This Privacy Policy applies to the Grace and Truth Radio mobile application (“we”, “our”, or “us”), available on Android and iOS platforms.

We value your privacy and are committed to protecting any data we may collect through the app.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not require users to:

Register or log in
Provide names, phone numbers, or email addresses
Share personal location data or device contacts

You are free to use and listen to our radio content anonymously and without account creation.

2. Information We Collect Automatically

While using our app, certain information is collected automatically through third-party tools:

a) Analytics (Firebase)

We use Firebase Analytics to understand how users interact with the app. This includes:

General location (country/city level)
Device type, OS version, and app version
Session duration and interactions (e.g., clicks, play events)
Crash reports (via Firebase Crashlytics)

This data helps us improve app performance and content delivery.

b) Advertising (Google Ads / AdMob)

We may display Google Ads inside the app. Google may collect:

Advertising ID (anonymized)
Non-personal interaction data with ads (impressions, clicks)

These ads may be personalized based on general behavior and device settings, as permitted by Google Play or Apple App Store.

You can opt out of personalized ads via your device settings:

Android: Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization

iOS: Settings > Privacy > Tracking

c) Chat Service (StreamChat)

If you choose to use the chat feature:

A display name or nickname (you choose) is used to identify you inside the chat.
No email or phone number is required.
Messages are stored by the StreamChat service to facilitate real-time communication.

We do not access or use these messages for any other purpose.

3. Location Data

We may collect approximate location (city/country level) via IP for analytics purposes only. This helps us:

Understand where our listeners are
Improve content relevance by region

We do not track your GPS location or store exact coordinates.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

Our app does not use cookies directly. However, third-party SDKs like Google and Firebase may use cookies or similar local storage mechanisms to enable analytics and ads.

5. Data Sharing

We do not share your personal data with any third parties, except the following:

Google (Firebase, AdMob) for analytics and ads
StreamChat for in-app chat functionality
Automated spam filters in chat, where applicable

All services used comply with GDPR and Apple App Store guidelines.

6. Data Retention

Analytics data is retained according to Google/Firebase default policies.
Chat messages may be stored temporarily to support real-time chat functionality.
No personal user data is stored by us on our servers.

7. Your Rights

Since we do not collect personal information, we do not maintain user accounts or have identifiable data to provide or delete. However, you may:

Request deletion of chat history (if used)
Contact us regarding any data concerns

8. Data Security

We use trusted third-party services (Google Firebase, StreamChat) that implement strong encryption, secure transport protocols, and adhere to best practices for data protection.
