Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 July 2026 · AirFreek is made by Nsonia LLC.

The short version: AirFreek has no accounts, no ads, no analytics, and no interest in who you are. Almost everything stays on your device. The few things that leave it are listed below, completely.

What stays on your device

Your favorite stations and any custom stations you add
Play counts (used for the Most Played sort)
Song identification history
App settings, including learned volume-leveling values per station

None of this is tied to an identity, because the app doesn't have one for you.

What leaves your device

Station directory. The app fetches the station list from our server. These requests are anonymous — no account, no advertising identifier. Like any web request, our server momentarily sees your IP address to answer it.
Favorites, anonymously. When you favorite a station, the app tells our server which station was favorited — and nothing else — so we can see which stations people love. There is no user or device identifier attached; we couldn't connect a favorite to you if we tried.
Song identification. When you ask AirFreek to name a track, an audio fingerprint is sent to Apple's ShazamKit service for matching, governed by Apple's privacy policy. We never record or store audio. On Apple Watch, the microphone is used only when you start an ambient identification yourself, and only for that.
The streams themselves. Radio audio flows directly from each station to your device — it never passes through our servers. Stations can see your IP address, as they can for any listener with any radio app, and their own privacy policies apply. Some independent stations only offer unencrypted (HTTP) streams; the audio you hear is public broadcast content either way.

Between your devices

If you use the Apple Watch app, favorites, play counts, and song identification history sync between your phone and watch using Apple's device-to-device WatchConnectivity — that data moves between your own devices, not through our servers.

What we don't do

No analytics or crash-reporting SDKs
No advertising, advertising identifiers, or ad networks
No selling, sharing, or monetizing of any data
No location collection
No listening-history collection — we don't know what you play

Your choices

Delete favorites, custom stations, or identification history in the app at any time
Turn off song identification simply by not using it — it only runs when you tap it
Uninstall the app to remove everything it stored on your device
