  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone, except when necessary to comply with legal requirements, to operate or develop our services and products, or to protect our rights

  • Personal information is only stored on our servers or offsite servers of third-party service providers in order to provide our core services

Our goals

 

Our privacy policy (‘Privacy Policy’) which incorporates these goals:

Sunshine FM operates this website. It is Sunshine FM’s policy to respect the privacy of website users with regard to information collected through your interaction with this website.

Non-personally-identifying information

 

Sunshine FM collects or may have a third-party service provider collect, non-personally-identifying information of the sort that mobile applications typically make available, such as the type of device using a website or Application, the operating system, location information, and aggregated user statistics. For example, Sunshine FM may monitor the most popular features of a website or Application. Sunshine FM’s purpose in collecting non-personally-identifying information is to better understand how users utilise our services and resources. From time to time, Sunshine FM may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate (e.g., by publishing or disclosing to third parties, a report on trends in the usage of a website or Application).

Personally-identifying information

 

Certain users of this website may choose to interact with Sunshine FM in ways that require Sunshine FM to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information gathered by Sunshine FM depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we may ask users to log-in to a website, social media platform or Application by inputting a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Sunshine FM may be asked to provide additional personally-identifying information, including, as necessary, their first and last name, address, telephone number and other details, such as financial information that may be required to process those transactions. In each case, Sunshine FM collects such information, only as is necessary and appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the user interaction with Sunshine FM. Sunshine FM does not share personally-identifying information, other than as described below. Users can refuse to supply personally-identifying information but doing so may prevent them engaging in certain online and digital activities.

Sharing of personally-identifying information

 

Sunshine FM will not rent or sell personally-identifying information to anyone. Sunshine FM shares personally-identifying information only with those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Sunshine FM’s behalf or to provide services available through a website or Application, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. For example, Sunshine FM uses third-party vendors and hosting partners to provide necessary hardware, software, networking, data storage and related technology required to run services available through a website or Application. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organisations may be located outside your home country. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations, as described above, Sunshine FM discloses personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law or when Sunshine FM believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Sunshine FM, third parties or the public at large.

Use of email addresses
and push notifications

 

If you have provided your email address as part of your use of a website or Application, Sunshine FM may, subject to applicable law, send you emails to tell you about new features, request feedback or keep you up to date with Sunshine FM and our products. We strive to minimise this kind of communication. With your consent, Sunshine FM may also send ‘push’ notifications or alerts to the device you use to access a website or Application. Such notifications can reach you, even when you are not logged-in to a website or Application, or when a website or Application isn’t running on your device. Sunshine FM uses ‘push’ notifications to send you messages related to the services provided through a website or Application or to make available to you, general information regarding Sunshine FM, its services and products. You can deactivate ‘push’ notifications in Settings on your device.

Protection of information

 

Sunshine FM takes all reasonable measures to protect your personally-identifiable information against unauthorised access, use, alteration, loss, or destruction.
