PRAXIS SCIENCE LAB / ANDROID
Neon Radio — Privacy Policy
How Praxis Science Lab handles information for this Android app.
Effective date: 2026-09-13. This notice describes Android version 0.12.0 (19) and the configuration documented below.
Praxis Science Lab is the publishing brand used by Traian Anghel. For support or privacy questions, email traiananghel@gmail.com. Include the app name and version. Do not send passwords, medical records, private recordings or other sensitive information.
Information handled by the app
Favorites, recent stations, presets, manual stream URLs, settings, local theme entitlements and recordings remain in private app storage. There is no app account or developer-operated cloud library. JSON backups contain station names and stream URLs, potentially including access tokens. WAV and JSON exports go only to the destination you select. No microphone capture is used.
The app sends search terms and selected directory filters to Radio Browser. Streaming connects to the broadcaster or its hosting/CDN provider. These providers receive the IP address, request headers and requested resource and may log requests under their own policies. Stream URLs may use HTTP, so not all network traffic is encrypted. The world map is bundled locally and does not use GPS or a map service.
Permissions, services and sharing
Internet and network-state access support directory queries, streaming and connection recovery. A media foreground service and wake lock support background playback; media controls appear in Android. Document pickers grant access to files you explicitly choose. No contacts, camera, microphone or device-location permission is requested.
Google Mobile Ads SDK is included. The signed 0.12.0 testing bundle uses TEST_ADS=false: no banner or rewarded ad requests are initiated by app code and commercial monetization is not configured. Development builds with TEST_ADS=true initialize Google ads and display demo banners or optional rewarded videos. Demo advertising can process IP-derived approximate location, identifiers, interactions and diagnostics; it does not generate revenue. Broadcasters may insert their own ads independently. Google privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy . Production ad IDs, applicable consent flow and revised disclosures are required before commercial advertising is activated.
Station problem reports open a preview and email composer only at your request. Nothing is sent until you send the message. Reports include station technical information; review stream URLs for private tokens before sharing. Other apps or document providers you choose process information under their own policies.
Retention and deletion
Remove favorites with the heart control and clear listening history in Library. Recordings can be deleted in the app. Clearing app storage or uninstalling removes private library data, settings, recordings and local theme unlocks; Android backup is disabled. Files exported to shared storage or a document provider remain until deleted there. Providers control their own logs and retention. Support messages are retained only as needed to answer the request and meet applicable obligations; email us to request deletion.
Security
Private app files use Android application storage protections. No additional database-encryption guarantee is made. Keep your device protected and control access to files you export. There is no Praxis Science Lab account to delete for this app.
Support messages and external pages
If you contact us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to send. We use it to answer your request and resolve the issue, not for advertising. Correspondence remains only as needed for that purpose and any applicable legal obligations; you can request deletion. Our email provider processes messages under its own terms. We do not sell support correspondence.
Opening this policy or other external links sends ordinary connection information to the website or browser provider. See our website privacy notice. App-local data is not automatically included in those requests.
Your choices
You can clear local data and use the contact above to ask about support correspondence or request access, correction or deletion where applicable. We may need information to identify the relevant request. You may also contact your local data protection authority. Local app information is processed to provide the functions you use; support correspondence is processed to respond to your request.
Changes
We update this notice when app behavior or relevant practices change. The date and version above identify the policy you are reading.
