Last updated: May 7, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Khera Radio USA (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile application (the “App”).
If you do not agree with this policy, do not use the App.
0) Content we serve
The App may provide the following types of content and experiences:
- Live 24×7 radio streaming
- On-demand podcast catalog playback
- Live audio rooms / live podcasts (when available), which may use LiveKit/WebRTC
1) Information we collect
A) Information you provide
- Account information (Google Sign-In): when you sign in with Google, we receive basic profile information such as name, email address, and profile picture (as provided by Google).
- Podcast/live session inputs (when applicable):
- Podcast details you create in-app (e.g., podcast name/description).

B) Information collected automatically
When you use the App, we may collect:

- Network information: IP address and general network diagnostics.
- Usage and diagnostic logs: crash logs, performance logs, and basic app usage events needed to operate and improve the service.
- Push notification identifiers: a Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) token used to deliver push notifications to your device.
C) Audio / microphone data (only when you choose to use it)
If you start or join a live/podcast session that requires it, the App may request microphone access and process live audio for the session. We do not record your microphone by default, and audio is used to deliver the live feature you requested.

We use information to:

- Improve performance, reliability, and user experience
3) How we share information
We do not sell your personal data.
We may share limited information:
- With service providers that help run the App (e.g., infrastructure, messaging, or authentication providers).
- With third-party platforms you use to sign in or receive notifications, such as Google services.
- For legal reasons if required by law, regulation, or valid legal process, or to protect users and our rights.
4) Third-party services used by the App

You can deny optional permissions, but some features may not work.

Live rooms may involve real-time audio. Hosts/admins may be able to manage sessions (for example, inviting participants, controlling participation, or removing participants) to keep sessions safe and functional.
