Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 4, 2026

iRockNashville.com respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how information is handled when you use our website, Progressive Web App (“PWA”), native Android application, live radio stream, interactive features, notifications, and related services.

iRockNashville.com is operated by Emerging Business & Development Services (EBDS).

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected, why it may be collected, how it may be used, and the choices available to you.

1. Services Covered by This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to your use of:

• the iRockNashville.com website;
• the iRockNashville Progressive Web App;
• the native iRockNashville Android application;
• live streaming and audio-player features;
• listener voting and interactive features;
• push notifications;
• advertising and sponsorship features;
• links and affiliate features;
• and other related iRockNashville.com digital services.

Some features rely on third-party technology providers whose own privacy practices also apply.

2. Information You Provide Directly

Most iRockNashville.com features can be used without creating an account or providing your name, email address, or other directly identifying personal information.

You may voluntarily provide information when you:

• contact us by email or through a website form;
• submit feedback or questions;
• interact with certain station promotions or features;
• communicate with iRockNashville.com or EBDS for another reason.

We use information you voluntarily provide only for the purposes reasonably related to your communication or request.

3. Listener Voting and App Interactions

iRockNashville.com may provide features that allow listeners to vote for songs, indicate preferences, interact with station content, or participate in charts or other engagement features.

When you use these features, certain information about the interaction may be processed so that the feature can function properly, voting limits can be enforced, and abuse or automated manipulation can be reduced.

This information may include:

• the fact that a particular app or website feature was used;
• song or content selections;
• vote or preference activity;
• technical information used to help distinguish repeated or automated interactions.

We do not require a personal account for ordinary listener voting.

4. Device and Technical Information

The website, PWA, Android application, and supporting technology providers may automatically process certain technical information when you use the Services.

Depending on the feature and your device, this information may include:

• device type;
• operating system;
• app version;
• browser information;
• IP address;
• device or app identifiers;
• network and connection information;
• technical diagnostic information;
• information necessary to maintain security, reliability, and proper operation of the Services.

We use this information primarily to provide and improve functionality, maintain security, troubleshoot technical problems, and support features such as notifications and advertising.

5. Push Notifications and Firebase Cloud Messaging

The iRockNashville Android application and other supported versions of the Services may offer optional push notifications.

Push notifications may include station announcements, programming information, music news, breaking updates, or other iRockNashville-related communications.

To provide this functionality, we use Firebase Cloud Messaging, a service provided by Google.

Firebase Cloud Messaging may generate or process a device-specific registration token or other technical identifiers necessary to route notifications to your device.

We do not use push-notification registration merely to identify you personally.

You may disable notifications at any time through your device, browser, or application notification settings.

6. Advertising and Google AdMob

The iRockNashville Android application may display banner advertisements provided through Google AdMob and the Google Mobile Ads SDK.

When advertising is displayed, Google and its advertising technology partners may automatically collect or process certain information from your device in connection with delivering, securing, measuring, and improving advertising.

Depending on your device, location, settings, consent choices, and Google’s configuration, this information may include:

• IP address;
• approximate location derived from an IP address;
• device or application identifiers;
• Android advertising identifiers where available and permitted;
• information about the application and device;
• advertising impressions;
• interactions with advertisements;
• diagnostic and performance information;
• information used to detect fraud, abuse, or invalid advertising activity.

This information may be used for purposes including:

• delivering advertisements;
• measuring advertising performance;
• limiting repeated advertisements;
• analytics and reporting;
• preventing advertising fraud and abuse;
• maintaining advertising security;
• complying with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

The presence of an advertisement does not mean that iRockNashville.com receives your name, email address, precise location, or other directly identifying personal information from Google simply because the advertisement was shown.

Google’s collection and use of information through AdMob and the Google Mobile Ads SDK is also governed by Google’s applicable privacy policies, advertising policies, and user controls.

7. Personalized and Non-Personalized Advertising

Depending on your location, device settings, applicable law, and consent choices, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.

Personalized advertising may use information such as advertising identifiers or inferred interests to select advertisements that may be more relevant to you.

Non-personalized advertisements may be selected using contextual information, such as the application or general geographic area, rather than a personalized advertising profile.

Where required by applicable law or Google policy, users may be provided with consent or privacy choices before certain advertising technologies are used.

8. Advertising Consent and Privacy Choices

Users in certain jurisdictions, including the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, and other regions with applicable privacy requirements, may be presented with additional consent or privacy controls related to advertising.

Those choices may determine whether certain advertising technologies, identifiers, cookies, or similar technologies may be used.

Advertising choices may also be available through your Android device settings, Google account settings, browser settings, or controls provided by Google.

9. Location Information

iRockNashville.com does not require precise GPS location simply to listen to the station.

Some services, including advertising providers, may derive an approximate geographic location from information such as your IP address.

If a future feature specifically requests device-location permission, we will provide an appropriate disclosure and request permission where required before accessing that information.

10. Analytics and Performance Information

The Services and supporting technology providers may process technical information necessary to understand application operation, troubleshoot failures, protect against abuse, and improve reliability.

We do not represent that every third-party SDK used by the Android application collects exactly the same information.

The information processed depends on the particular service, SDK configuration, device, and feature being used.

11. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The iRockNashville.com website and PWA may use cookies, browser storage, local storage, or similar technologies where needed to provide functionality, remember settings, maintain security, support interactive features, or operate third-party services.

Third-party services linked to or embedded within the Services may use their own cookies or similar technologies according to their privacy policies.

Browser controls may allow you to restrict or delete cookies and stored website data.

Certain features may not function correctly if required storage technologies are disabled.

12. Local Application Settings

Some preferences may be stored locally on your device or within application storage.

These may include settings related to:

• audio playback;
• station preferences;
• notifications;
• visualizer choices;
• sleep-timer settings;
• interface preferences;
• other app configuration.

Locally stored settings generally remain on your device unless a particular feature requires communication with a server or third-party service.

Removing the application or clearing its storage may remove locally stored preferences.

13. Audio Streaming

When you listen to iRockNashville.com, technical information must be exchanged with our streaming infrastructure so the audio stream can be delivered to your device.

Streaming providers may receive information such as:

• IP address;
• connection time;
• device or player information;
• technical request information.

This is generally necessary for delivering and maintaining the live stream.

14. Sponsors and Promotional Content

The Services may display sponsor acknowledgments, promotional content, or information about businesses and organizations supporting iRockNashville.com.

A sponsor card or promotional message does not necessarily involve the collection of personal information.

If you choose to follow a sponsor or promotional link to another website or service, that third party’s privacy practices will apply after you leave iRockNashville.com.

15. Affiliate Links and Amazon

iRockNashville.com may provide affiliate links, including links to Amazon.

If you follow an affiliate link, the third-party retailer may receive information normally associated with visiting its website or using its service.

Any purchase is made directly with the third-party retailer and is subject to that company’s privacy policy and terms.

As an Amazon Associate, iRockNashville.com may earn from qualifying purchases.

16. Third-Party Services

The Services may rely on third-party providers for functionality such as:

• Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads;
• Firebase Cloud Messaging;
• Google Play;
• audio streaming and hosting;
• website hosting;
• affiliate services;
• external websites and content;
• other technology necessary to operate the Services.

These companies may process information according to their own privacy policies and applicable legal obligations.

iRockNashville.com does not control the independent privacy practices of third-party services.

17. Information Sharing

iRockNashville.com does not sell your personal information.

Information may be processed or shared with service providers when reasonably necessary to:

• operate the website or application;
• deliver streaming audio;
• deliver notifications;
• display or measure advertising;
• provide interactive features;
• maintain security;
• detect fraud or abuse;
• troubleshoot technical problems;
• comply with legal obligations.

We may also disclose information if required by law, court order, lawful governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, or security of iRockNashville.com, EBDS, users, or others.

18. Data Retention

Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, for legitimate operational or security needs, or as required by law.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the third-party service involved.

Information maintained directly by third-party providers is subject to their applicable retention practices.

19. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information associated with the Services.

Information transmitted between the application, website, streaming services, Google services, and other providers generally uses encrypted network connections where supported.

No internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, loss, or misuse will never occur.

20. Children’s Privacy

iRockNashville.com is a general-audience music and entertainment service and is not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children under 13.

The music and programming available through the station may contain mature language or themes and may not be appropriate for all children.

Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising minors’ use of the Services.

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected in circumstances where parental consent was legally required, we will take reasonable steps to address the situation.

21. Your Choices

Depending on the feature and your device, you may be able to:

• disable push notifications;
• adjust advertising privacy settings;
• reset or limit advertising identifiers through Android or Google settings;
• manage consent choices where offered;
• clear locally stored application data;
• clear browser cookies or website storage;
• uninstall the Android application;
• stop using the Services.

Some technical information may still be processed when necessary to provide a service you choose to use.

22. External Websites

The Services may contain links to artists, sponsors, retailers, social media services, venues, music platforms, news sources, and other external websites.

Once you leave iRockNashville.com, the external service’s privacy policy governs its collection and use of information.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third parties.

23. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the Services, application features, technology providers, advertising practices, or legal requirements change.

When we make material revisions, we will update the Effective Date shown at the top of this policy.

We encourage users to review this page periodically.
