Bassdrive Player Android App
Last updated: 16 May 2026
Film Kode Ltd built the Bassdrive Player Android app on behalf of Bassdrive as a free app. This app is provided at no cost and is intended for use as-is.
This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the Bassdrive Player Android app. It also explains what data may be collected by the app, by third-party services, and by the radio streaming services used to deliver the app experience.
Film Kode Ltd is the developer of the app. Bassdrive is the radio station and content provider.
By using the app, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
The Bassdrive Player app is designed to be simple and does not require users to create an account or log in.
We do not intentionally collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, postal address, payment details, contacts, photos, messages, or precise location.
However, some technical information may be collected automatically when you use the app, either by the app itself, by your device, by app store services, by crash reporting tools, or by the streaming services used to provide radio playback.
This may include:
Device type and model
Android version
App version
Approximate technical identifiers
Internet Protocol address
Playback and connection information
Stream quality selection
Error logs and crash reports
Time and date of app usage
Basic diagnostic information needed to improve reliability
This information is used only to operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the app.
How We Use Information
Any information collected is used for the following purposes:
To provide radio streaming playback
To allow the app to connect to Bassdrive streams
To improve app stability and performance
To diagnose crashes, bugs, buffering issues, and playback problems
To understand whether the app is functioning correctly across different devices
To maintain app security and prevent misuse
To comply with app store, legal, or technical requirements
We do not sell users' personal information.
We do not use the app to build advertising profiles.
We do not use personal information for targeted advertising.
Radio Streaming
The Bassdrive Player app connects to Bassdrive radio streams so that users can listen to live audio.
When you connect to an internet radio stream, technical information such as your IP address, device connection information, stream request, listening time, and selected stream quality may be visible to the streaming server or hosting provider.
This is a normal part of internet radio streaming and is required in order to deliver the audio stream to your device.
Film Kode Ltd does not use this information to identify individual listeners unless required for technical troubleshooting, security, or legal reasons.
Third-Party Services
The app may use third-party services that process technical or diagnostic information in order to operate correctly.
These services may include, but are not limited to:
Google Play services
Google Play Store / Google Play Console
Android system services
Crash reporting or analytics services, if enabled
Streaming infrastructure providers used to deliver Bassdrive audio
Third-party services may collect information according to their own privacy policies and data handling practices.

App Permissions
The Bassdrive Player app may request only the permissions required for the app to function properly.
Depending on the version of the app and Android version, this may include permissions related to:
Internet access
Network state
Audio playback
Media controls
Notifications
Foreground service playback
Bluetooth or connected audio devices, where required by Android
These permissions are used to allow the app to stream audio, continue playback in the background, display playback controls, show notifications, and work with supported audio devices such as Bluetooth speakers, headphones, Android Auto, or car systems.
The app does not use permissions to access your contacts, messages, camera, microphone, photos, precise location, or call history.
Notifications
The app may use notifications to show playback controls, stream status, or now-playing information.
Notifications are used only for app functionality. They are not used for advertising or marketing unless clearly stated in a future version of the app.
You can manage or disable app notifications through your Android device settings.
Background Audio
The app supports background audio playback so that you can continue listening when the app is not open on screen.
To support this, the app may run an audio playback service while streaming. This is used only to keep playback active and to provide media controls.
Analytics and Crash Reporting
The app may collect limited diagnostic information if an error, crash, or playback issue occurs.
This may include technical information such as:
Device model
Android version
App version
Crash logs
Error messages
Playback state
Time and date of the issue
This information helps us identify and fix problems. It is not used to personally identify users.
Cookies
The Bassdrive Player Android app does not directly use browser cookies in the way a normal website does.
However, third-party services, embedded web content, streaming providers, or external links opened through the app may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own privacy policies.
Links to Other Websites
The app may include links to external websites, social media pages, Bassdrive pages, or third-party services.
If you tap a link and leave the app, you will be subject to the privacy policy and terms of the external website or service.
Film Kode Ltd is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or policies of third-party websites or services.
Data Sharing
We do not sell personal information.
We may share limited technical or diagnostic information only where necessary for:
App operation
Streaming delivery
Crash reporting
Technical support
Security
Legal compliance
Service providers acting on our behalf
Where third-party providers process information for us, they are expected to use it only for the services they provide.
Data Retention
We only retain technical or diagnostic information for as long as reasonably necessary for app operation, troubleshooting, security, legal compliance, or service improvement.
Some third-party services may retain information according to their own policies.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information handled through the app.
However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
The Bassdrive Player app is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights relating to your personal data, including the right to request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of certain information.
Because the app does not require an account, we may not be able to identify individual users unless enough technical information is provided to locate relevant records.
You can also control certain app permissions and notifications through your Android device settings.
Deleting Information
The Bassdrive Player app does not require a user account and does not provide an in-app account deletion feature because there is no user account to delete.
If you believe we hold information relating to you and would like it deleted, please contact us at [email protected].
We will review your request and take reasonable steps to delete any information we can identify, unless we are required to retain it for legal, security, or technical reasons.
