GDPR Privacy Notice

Your rights and how we handle personal data under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679).

Last updated: 1 January 2026

1. Who We Are (Data Controller)

SportsRadio.ML is a brand operated by Simon Wilby ("we", "us", "our"). For the purposes of the GDPR, we act as the data controller for personal data processed through this website. If you have any questions about this notice or wish to exercise your rights, you can contact us at privacy@sportsradio.ml.

2. What Data We Collect

SportsRadio.ML is designed to be privacy-first. We may process:

  • Technical data — IP address, browser type, device information, and approximate region, collected automatically by our hosting and analytics providers.
  • Usage data — pages visited, stations played, language preference, and interactions, used to improve the service.
  • Preferences — your selected language and settings, stored locally in your browser.

We do not require account registration and do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data.

3. Legal Bases for Processing

Under Article 6 of the GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases:

  • Legitimate interests — to operate, secure, and improve the website.
  • Consent — for non-essential analytics and cookies, where required. You may withdraw consent at any time.

4. Your Rights

If you are located in the EU/EEA or UK, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request rectification of inaccurate data.
  • Request erasure ("right to be forgotten").
  • Restrict or object to processing.
  • Request data portability.
  • Withdraw consent at any time.
  • Lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

5. Data Sharing & International Transfers

We use trusted third-party processors (such as hosting, content delivery, and analytics providers) who process data on our behalf under appropriate safeguards. Where data is transferred outside the EEA, we rely on adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses. Live audio streams are aggregated from the free and open Radio Browser community directory; SportsRadio.ML does not host or own that audio content.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this notice, or as required by law. Analytics data is retained in aggregated or pseudonymized form.

7. Cookies

We use essential cookies to make the site work and, where you consent, analytics cookies to understand usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

8. Contact

To exercise any of your rights or ask a question, email privacy@sportsradio.ml. We will respond within the timeframes required by the GDPR.
