Trad Player does not collect, store, or share any personal data. We believe your listening habits are your own.
Trad Player is an unofficial iOS and macOS client for Radio Siamsa, Ireland's only 24/7 traditional Irish music radio station. This privacy policy explains what data the app accesses, how it's used, and your rights.
The short version: we don't collect anything. The app streams audio and fetches metadata, and that's it.
None. Trad Player does not collect, store, transmit, or process any personal information. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, no analytics, no tracking pixels, no advertising identifiers, and no data brokers.
The app makes the following network requests, all of which connect directly to Radio Siamsa's servers:
The app connects to Radio Siamsa's Icecast servers to stream live audio:
These connections are standard HTTP audio streams. The streaming server may log connection metadata (IP address, user agent) as part of normal server operations — this is controlled by Radio Siamsa, not by Trad Player.
The app periodically fetches the current track information from Radio Siamsa's AzuraCast API:
This returns the current track name, artist, album, album art URL, and listener count. No personal data is sent in these requests beyond what your device includes in standard HTTP headers.
Album artwork URLs provided by the AzuraCast API are loaded directly in the app. These images are hosted on Radio Siamsa's servers.
Trad Player does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, crash reporting, or tracking services. There are no SDKs from Facebook, Google, Firebase, Amplitude, Mixpanel, or any other data collection service.
The only external service the app communicates with is Radio Siamsa's own infrastructure (siamsa.ie / main.siamsa.ie).
The app stores the following data locally on your device:
This data never leaves your device and is not backed up, synced, or transmitted anywhere.
When used with CarPlay, the app displays the current track information and playback controls on your vehicle's CarPlay-compatible display. No additional data is collected or transmitted through the CarPlay connection.
When using AirPlay, audio is routed through Apple's AirPlay protocol to your selected output device. Trad Player does not intercept, log, or store any information about your AirPlay usage.
Trad Player does not collect any data from any user, including children. The app contains no objectionable content and is rated 4+ on the App Store.
If this privacy policy is updated, the changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. As the app collects no data, significant changes are unlikely.
