♫ Smooth Jazz Radio — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-06-12

Smooth Jazz Radio is a browser-extension tuner for curated smooth-jazz internet radio. It is designed to collect as little data as possible.

What we collect

Nothing on a server. Smooth Jazz Radio has no backend of its own.

Locally, in your browser only, the extension stores:

• Your favorite stations
• The last station you played (so it can pick up where you left off)
• Your volume level and settings
• A short-lived cache of the radio-browser.info mirror used for the click counter

This data lives in chrome.storage.local on your device and is never transmitted anywhere by us.

What we share with third parties

• radio-browser.info — the community catalog our curated station list is built from. When you start a station, the extension sends an anonymous click ping for that station (this is how the public catalog ranks station popularity). Requests carry a generic User-Agent (SmoothJazzRadio/<version>). No identifier of you is sent.
• Radio station broadcasters — when you play a station, your browser connects directly to that broadcaster's public stream URL. The broadcaster sees the same information any visitor of their website would: your IP address and basic HTTP headers. We have no relationship with these broadcasters and don't mediate the connection.

What we do not do

• We don't record audio.
• We don't strip or insert ads into streams.
• We don't track which stations you play, or build any profile of you.
• We don't use analytics or telemetry of any kind.
