Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
SeoulFM is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data. The short version: we collect anonymous technical data to optimize your streaming experience. We never collect personal information and we never sell your data.
No Account Required
SeoulFM does not require you to create an account or log in. You can listen, browse, and request songs without providing any personal information.
Anonymous Technical Data
While you're listening, we collect anonymous technical metrics to optimize your streaming experience. This data is tied to a random session ID that is generated fresh for each browser tab and is never linked to your identity.
What we collect & why
No personal data: We do not collect your name, email, IP address, location, or any personally identifiable information through this system. Session IDs are random, anonymous, and discarded when you close the tab.
Song Requests & Dedications
When you submit a song request, you may optionally provide a name and a dedication message. This information is displayed publicly on the station and stored to maintain the request history. These fields are entirely optional — you can submit requests without providing either.
Cookies & Local Storage
We use minimal browser storage to remember your preferences such as volume level and playback bitrate. These are stored locally in your browser and are not transmitted to any third party.
Third-Party Services
- Google Analytics — We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics such as page views and session duration. You can opt out using browser extensions or privacy settings.
- Google Cast — If you use the Cast feature to stream to a Chromecast device, the Google Cast SDK is loaded. This is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
- Cloudflare — Our site is served through Cloudflare, which provides CDN, security, and performance services. Cloudflare may process your IP address and basic connection information as part of its standard operation.
GDPR & Your Rights
If you are in the European Union, you have the following rights:
- •Session IDs are fully anonymous and cannot be traced back to you
- •No personally identifiable information is collected or stored
- •Technical data collection can be avoided by using the site without pressing play
- •You can clear all local data by clearing your browser's cookies and storage for seoul.fm
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your data to third parties. We do not share personal information with anyone except as described in this policy (i.e., the third-party services listed above that help us operate the site).
Data Retention
Aggregated listening statistics are retained indefinitely. Song request data (names and dedications) is retained as part of the station's history. Anonymous session data is automatically discarded after 24 hours. Browser storage expires when you clear your browser data.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
