# Privacy Policy
**KaRemote** — Remote control for Karadio32
Last updated: 2026-02-13
## Overview
KaRemote is a free and open-source Android application licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. This privacy policy explains what data the app accesses and how it is handled.
## Data Collection
**KaRemote does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.** The app does not include any analytics, tracking, advertising, or telemetry services.
## Network Access
The app requires the INTERNET permission for the following purposes only:
- **Karadio32 communication** — The app sends HTTP requests to a Karadio32 device on your local network at an address you configure manually. This communication stays within your local network.
- **RadioBrowser.info API** — The app queries the public RadioBrowser.info API to search for radio stations and retrieve station metadata (names, icons, genres). No personal information is sent in these requests.
## Local Storage
The app stores the following settings locally on your device using Android DataStore Preferences:
- Karadio32 server address (as entered by you)
- Theme mode preference (light/dark/system)
- Color theme preference
This data never leaves your device.
## Third-Party Services
The app does not use any third-party services that collect user data. The only external service contacted is the public [RadioBrowser.info](https://www.radio-browser.info/) API.
## Permissions
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `INTERNET` | Communicate with Karadio32 device and RadioBrowser.info API |
