Spyn
Last updated 18 August 2026
Spyn turns your phone into a radio station. This policy explains what the app collects, why it needs it, who else sees it, and how to get rid of it. It covers the Spyn mobile apps, spyn.fm, and the Spyn web player.
Spyn is operated by an independent developer. Questions, requests, and complaints all go to support@spyn.fm.
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Email address and password, or the name and email from Sign in with Apple or Google | To create and sign you into your account. Passwords are handled by Firebase Authentication and are never visible to us. |
| Username, display name, bio, avatar | Your public identity on the platform. Anyone can see these. |
| Broadcasts you make — live audio and video, titles, categories, cover art | To deliver your show to listeners and, if you keep a recording, to store it. |
| Recordings and clips | To play back your archive. Stored on Cloudflare R2. |
| Chat messages sent during a broadcast | To show the conversation, live and on replay. |
| Listening presence — which broadcast you are in, and when you were last seen | To count how many people are listening. Deleted when you leave. |
| Follows, station memberships, and applications to join a station | To build your feed and to run station membership. |
| Push notification token | To tell you when someone you follow goes live. Only if you allow notifications. |
| Aggregate usage counts — listener-minutes, airtime, and play counts per station | To understand what the service costs to run. These are totals per station, not a log of what any individual listened to. |
What we do not collect. Spyn has no advertising, no advertising identifiers, and no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs. We do not build a profile of you for marketing, we do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with data brokers. There is no per-listener history of what you played.
Spyn is a broadcasting platform, so a lot of it is public by design. Assume that anyone — signed in or not — can see your username, display name, avatar, bio, the stations you belong to, your broadcasts and their titles and artwork, your recordings and clips, and any chat messages you send. Chat messages persist with the recording and are replayed alongside it after the show ends.
Your email address is not public.
Spyn runs on other people's infrastructure. These providers process data on our behalf, under their own terms:
We do not share your information with anyone else, except where we are legally required to, or where it is necessary to investigate abuse or a violation of the Terms.
Your account and profile are kept until you delete them. Recordings are kept for at least 30 days; some plans keep them longer, and the app shows the window that applies to your station. Presence records are deleted when you stop listening. Aggregate usage totals are not tied to individual people and are kept indefinitely.
You can delete your account from inside the app: Profile → Delete account. This removes your profile, your broadcasts and recordings, your clips, your chat messages, your follows and memberships, and your sign-in credentials.
Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. If you would rather have it done for you, email support@spyn.fm from your account's email address.
Two things survive deletion, and it is only fair to say so. Aggregate station totals — which are counts, not records about you — are not unwound. And where a recording you appeared in belongs to another creator, that recording is theirs; deleting your account does not delete their show.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, correct it, delete it, or receive a copy of it. Much of this is available directly in the app; for anything else, email support@spyn.fm and we will respond within 30 days. We will not treat you differently for exercising these rights.
Spyn is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has created an account, email support@spyn.fm and we will remove it.
Traffic is encrypted in transit. Access to stored data is restricted by server-side rules, and recordings are addressed by unguessable URLs. No service can promise perfect security, and we do not.
Spyn's providers operate in the United States and elsewhere. Using Spyn means your information may be processed in countries other than your own.
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will update the date above and, for significant changes, say so in the app. Continuing to use Spyn after a change means you accept it.
