Overview
Macdio for macOS is designed with your privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or share any personal data. This privacy policy explains how the Mac version of the App handles your information.
Data collection
Macdio does not collect any personal information. All your data stays on your device and syncs only through your personal iCloud account.
We do not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.
Usage data (Privacy Nutrition Label)
As declared in the App Store Privacy Nutrition Label, Macdio collects Other Usage Data for App Functionality. This refers to your listening history, which stations you played, for how long, and on which device.
This data is:
- Not linked to your identity
- Not used for tracking
- Stored only in your private iCloud container
- Used solely to display your personal listening statistics across devices
App Sandbox
Macdio runs inside the macOS App Sandbox with minimal entitlements: network access for streaming, microphone for recording, and iCloud for sync. It cannot access files, contacts, or other apps without your explicit permission.
Third-party services
Macdio connects to the following external services solely for core functionality:
- Radio Browser API to browse and search radio stations. No personal data is sent.
- LRCLIB to fetch synchronized song lyrics. No personal data is sent.
- iTunes Search API to fetch album artwork. No personal data is sent.
- Logo.dev supplies the logos of radio stations that do not provide one themselves. Only the station's web domain is sent, no personal data.
iCloud sync
Your favorites, saved stations, listening history, and settings are stored in your private iCloud container managed by Apple.
Refer to Apple's Privacy Policy.
Audio & recordings
Recordings are stored locally on your Mac. We do not upload, transmit, or access your recordings.
