Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 3, 2026
port.fm stores playback preferences and sign-in information locally on your device. The browser extension also remembers its last screen and playback context so listening can continue when its popup is closed. When you sign in, your favorites and supported preferences are saved to your account so you can access them on other devices.
Google or Apple sign-in provides basic account details, including your name, email address and profile picture. We do not request access to your emails, contacts or files. Apple may provide a private relay email address if you choose Hide My Email. Your account is managed using PocketBase. We securely retain Apple authorization tokens so that access can be revoked when you delete your account.
If you send feedback, we store your message and email address so we can respond. When you are signed in, we also associate it with your account. Please do not include sensitive information in your message.
We use Google Analytics to understand feature use, station selections, playback errors and listening duration. Extension and native mobile usage statistics use a random installation identifier, an analytics session identifier, the client type, distribution channel and app version. They do not include your name, email, account ID, sign-in token, typed search terms, song titles, stream addresses, precise coordinates or the content or history of other browser tabs. Extension and native mobile events are sent through port.fm to Google Analytics; the Google API secret stays on our server. These clients do not forward your IP address or browser user agent to Google in these requests. Hosting and security services may process technical information such as your IP address. We do not sell personal data or use it to build advertising profiles.
Usage statistics in the extension and native mobile apps stay off until you choose “Allow statistics”. You can choose “No thanks” and keep using every radio feature. You can turn them off in its Privacy Policy panel, without signing in, or in Me → Settings. Turning them off stops future analytics delivery and removes the local analytics installation identifier. Turning them back on creates a new identifier. Analytics is not required to play radio or sync favorites. The extension never reads the content or browsing history of your other tabs.
Radio streams, station directories, maps and external websites are supplied by third parties. Connecting to them may share technical information, including your IP address, under their own privacy policies.
You can sign out and clear locally stored data in your browser. To request access to or deletion of account or feedback data, contact [email protected]. You can also revoke Google access in your Google Account settings. Account deletion removes saved favorites, preferences, linked sign-in identities and feedback associated with that port.fm account. A fresh sign-in is required before deletion; Apple authorization is revoked before the account is removed.
