The short version If you read only one section, read this one Version 4 · 13 Aug 2026

We run a radio station, not an advertising business. This page says what that means in practice.

Collected

Almost nothing

An anonymous listener count, and whatever you type into a form yourself. Nothing else.

Shared

Nothing for money

No data broker, no ad network, no affiliate. Four service providers see the minimum they need.

Yours

Gone on request

One line to privacy@avavaradio.fm and everything with your name on it is deleted.

What we never do

Easier to list than what we do

01Never

Advertising

No ad network, no retargeting pixel, no sponsored placement dressed up as a show.

02Never

Third-party analytics

No Google Analytics, no Meta pixel, no heatmaps. The listener count comes from our own server log.

03Never

Selling data

Nothing about you is sold, rented, or traded — not to labels, not to promoters, not to anyone.

04Never

Profiles

We do not build a picture of your taste, your location, or your habits. Nobody here has that screen.

05Never

Dark patterns

No pre-ticked boxes, no confirm-shaming, no newsletter you did not ask for.

What we do keep

Six things · nothing else touches a database

What Why we have it Kept for Legal basis

Stream connectionsIP, address truncated To count how many people are listening and to keep the stream stable. The last block of every IP is cut before it is written down. 7 days Legitimate interest

The weekly letterE-mail address To send you one letter a week. Unsubscribe is one click and removes the address the same day. Until you leave Consent

Contact formName, e-mail, message To answer you. It lands in one inbox that three of us read, not a ticket system. 12 months Legitimate interest

Journal commentsName or blank, text To publish the reply under the entry. The e-mail field is optional and never shown. Until removed Consent

DonationsAmount, receipt data Because the foundation has to account for every euro. The card itself never touches our servers. 7 years Legal obligation

Demos and guest setsName, link, message To listen to it and to answer. Kept while the answer is still useful, then deleted with the thread. 18 months Legitimate interest

The stream itself needs no account · you can listen without giving us anything Ask for your copy ↗

Cookies

Two of them · that is why there is no banner

avava_lang Remembers whether you picked EN, ES, DE, FR or IT, so the site does not ask again. 1 year

avava_player Remembers volume and where you left the stream, so the player comes back the way you left it. 30 days

Block both and the site still works — you will just be asked for your language again, and the player will forget where you left the stream.

Who else sees anything

Four companies · their rules, not ours

01Amsterdam, NL

Mollie

Takes the payment when you support the station. They see the card, we see only that it worked.

mollie.com/privacy ↗

02London, UK

Mixcloud

Hosts the show archive. If you press play on an embedded show, their rules apply to that player.

mixcloud.com/privacy ↗

03Oakland, US

Bandcamp

Sells the tapes twice a year. Orders and addresses live with them, not with us.

bandcamp.com/privacy ↗

04Falkenstein, DE

Hetzner

Runs the machine the stream and this site come from. They hold the server, not the data.
