Dial for iPhone and Mac
Privacy
Dial collects no data. It has no accounts, analytics, advertising, third-party tracking, or server backend, and nothing you do in the app is sent to the developer.
Listening
Each station plays directly from the broadcaster’s own stream. As with any website, the broadcaster’s server receives your IP address and basic connection details while you listen. Some station artwork loads from the broadcaster’s published image. Dial does not record, download, or re-host audio.
Location
Location is optional. Dial asks for approximate location only when you tap Use my location, and uses it once to work out your country through Apple’s location services. It does not store coordinates, track you in the background, or change stations as you travel. Without permission, you can choose a country by hand.
Local storage
Favorites, your last station, saved song titles, station alarms on iPhone and app preferences are stored only on your device. They are not synced between devices or sent anywhere. Deleting the app removes them.
Links and sharing
Looking up a song title opens a search for that title on Apple Music, Spotify or Tidal, which then handle the request under their own policies. Sharing a station or title uses the system share sheet, and nothing is sent until you choose where. Station announcements use the voices built into your device.
What Dial does not collect
Dial does not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, location, listening history, usage analytics, crash reports, device identifiers, or advertising identifiers.
