The Radio Mason Android app (which also runs on Android Auto in the car) plays our live radio stream, our news bulletins and our shows. It needs no account and shows no ads. It makes only the network requests needed to play: fetching the audio stream, the "now playing" information, and the spoken news/travel from Mason's own servers.
Approximate location (optional). If — and only if — you grant the location permission, the app reads your device's approximate last-known position (accurate to a few hundred metres, never precise GPS) and sends those coordinates to Mason's own server for a single purpose: to pick out the road and rail disruptions closest to you, so the travel you hear is your road rather than a national list.
The app requests only what it needs: internet access, a foreground media-playback service (so audio keeps playing in the car and on the lock screen), notification permission (the playback controls), and the optional approximate location above. It uses your phone's built-in text-to-speech engine to read bulletins aloud; nothing you say or do is recorded.
The Radio Mason Chrome extension does not collect, store, transmit or sell any personal information. It makes only the network requests needed to do its job:
No information about you is sent to us or to any third party. There are no cookies, no user accounts, and no tracking of any kind. Your play/pause preference stays on your own device.
If you choose to fill in a form on our website — a shout-out, a contact or advertising enquiry, a music submission, or a "host a show" application — we store only what you enter (such as your name, email and message) so we can reply to you and provide the thing you asked for. We do not sell or rent your information, and we do not share it except where needed to respond to you.
Voice recordings. The "host a show" form lets you record or upload a voice-track. We keep that recording only to consider your show and to come back to you about it. It is not used to train anything, not published without your say-so, and not shared outside Radio Mason. Ask us and we will delete it.
We rely on your consent for anything you choose to send us, and on our legitimate interest in running the station to reply to you and keep a record of the enquiry. You can withdraw consent at any time by getting in touch.
You can uninstall the extension at any time from Chrome's extensions page, which removes it completely, and you can revoke the app's location permission whenever you like in Android Settings.
Where we do hold something you sent us — a form on the website, or a newsletter sign-up — UK data protection law gives you the right to ask us for a copy of it, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted. Just get in touch and we will do it. There is no charge, and we will respond within one month.
If you are not happy with how we have handled your information, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK's data protection regulator. We would rather you came to us first, but you do not have to.
Radio Mason is a general-audience service and is not directed at children under 13.
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the "last updated" date above.
Questions about privacy, or want to see or delete what we hold? Email [email protected] and put "data protection request" in the subject so we can prioritise it. You can also use the form, or write to us at Nofooly Ltd, 66 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NA.
