1. Summary
Cantata is a native Android application for listening to online radio stations
(Icecast/Shoutcast).
We do not collect personally identifiable information from users.
No account or sign-up is required, the app shows no advertising, and it does not
integrate any analytics or tracking services.
2. Data stored locally
The application stores on the device, solely for its own functioning:
- A list of the radios the user adds (name and stream URL).
-
Internal technical data for the bundled "Cantata y Puentes" radio (SonicPanel
host, user and port, required to display the cover art of the currently
playing track).
- Volume level and last selected radio.
This data is never sent to any developer-owned server. It can be removed by
uninstalling the app or clearing its data from Android Settings.
3. Third-party connections
When you play a radio, the application connects directly to the streaming server
that hosts it (Icecast, Shoutcast, SonicPanel or similar). Those servers are
operated by independent third parties and may log your IP address as part of
normal HTTP service.
The developer of Cantata does not control or access those logs.
The bundled default radio, "Cantata y Puentes", is served from SonicPanel
infrastructure at sc.host-live.com.

5. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking
Cantata does not integrate Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics,
AdMob, or any third-party SDK for analytics, advertising or install attribution.
6. Children
The application is not specifically directed at children under 13, but its
content (music radio stations) is suitable for all ages. We do not collect
information from children or from any other user.
7. Changes to this policy
If the application later adds any integration that changes this policy (for
example, cloud sync), we will update this document and the "Last updated" date
above. Significant changes will be announced in the app's Google Play
description.
