Your privacy matters. This policy explains how Dhol Radio collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website, listen to our stream, or use our mobile applications.
Dhol Radio (“we”, “our”, or “us”) operates a Punjabi music radio service through our website, streaming servers, and (where available) mobile applications. We respect your privacy and limit data collection to what is reasonably necessary to operate, maintain, and improve our services.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices you may have depending on where you live.
We collect information in two ways: (1) automatically when you use our services, and (2) when you voluntarily provide information to us.
Automatically collected information may include:
Voluntarily provided information may include contact details if you email us or submit information through a contact form (such as your email address and the content of your message).
We do not require you to create an account to listen, and we do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information.
We use collected information for legitimate operational purposes such as delivering the stream, improving quality, and preventing abuse. Common uses include:
Our website may use cookies and/or local storage to improve usability (for example: saving volume preferences, remembering a theme setting, or improving page performance). Some cookies may be set by third-party services embedded in our website.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some features may work differently.
Our stream may display metadata such as the currently playing track (“Now Playing”). This metadata is generated by the streaming system and is used purely to enhance the listening experience.
Streaming servers may log technical connection details (e.g., IP address, time connected) to measure service usage and to keep the stream stable.
If you use a Dhol Radio mobile app, the app may collect limited technical information such as device type, app version, performance metrics, and crash logs. This helps us improve stability and compatibility.
If we add features that collect additional data in the future (e.g., accounts, favorites, or notifications), we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.
Dhol Radio may use third-party providers to support operations such as streaming, analytics, hosting, content delivery, and security. These providers may process data as part of delivering their services.
Each provider has its own privacy policy. We do not control third-party practices, but we aim to select reputable providers and limit sharing to what is necessary to operate our services.
We may show advertisements on our website or mobile applications. Advertising partners may use cookies or device identifiers to display ads and measure performance. These identifiers are typically pseudonymous and do not directly reveal your identity.
We do not sell your personal information. If you prefer fewer personalized ads (where applicable), you can adjust your device or browser settings, or opt out through the advertising provider’s settings.
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for operational purposes such as maintaining the stream, improving performance, security monitoring, and complying with legal obligations.
Technical logs may be retained for a limited period and then deleted or anonymized.
We use reasonable security measures to protect information from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. However, no method of internet transmission or storage is 100% secure. You use our services at your own discretion.
Dhol Radio is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.
Depending on your location, you may have rights under privacy laws (such as GDPR/CCPA-style rights), including:

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be posted on this page, and we will update the “Last updated” date at the top. Your continued use of our services after an update means you accept the updated policy.
