Effective Date: January 2025
This policy is for the Global Chaos CB Radio (GCR) application, provided by Dialer's Apps.
The Global Chaos CB Radio (GCR) app is designed with privacy as a core principle. Dialer's Apps does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your real name, address, email, or contact information. We do not use cookies, tracking pixels, or any external analytics services to monitor your activity within the app.
Your Real Name, Address, Email, or Contact Information.
Your Device ID or unique hardware identifiers from your device.
Your GPS Location or any location data.
Usage statistics, analytics, or behavioral tracking data for advertising or marketing purposes.
The contents of your voice transmissions are not recorded or stored. Audio is server-relayed in real-time only.
All settings and preferences are stored only on your local device's memory (e.g., in a browser's
localStorage or a device's local storage database).
Your chosen nickname is stored locally on your device and used as your identifier during active sessions. If you clear your local storage, this nickname is reset. Note: Your nickname may be temporarily stored on the server during active sessions for routing purposes and in inactive user records for moderation purposes, but it is not linked to your real identity.
The list of users you have blocked is stored locally on your device so the app knows not to play their audio. This list is never transmitted or stored centrally.
Your preferences for echo mode, audio boost, app sounds, and PTT mode (hold-to-talk or tap-to-start/stop) are stored locally.
Your selected color scheme, button theme, and other UI customizations are stored locally on your device.
Your custom emoji feedback button configurations are stored locally on your device.
To provide and secure the service, our servers store certain operational data. This data is used exclusively for security, moderation, and system functionality, not for tracking or advertising.
IP addresses and channel IDs (sessionId) are stored in inactive user records and ban records for moderation and security purposes. This data helps prevent abuse and enforce bans.
Device fingerprints (anonymized identifiers derived from browser/device characteristics) are stored to prevent ban evasion and maintain moderation effectiveness. These are not linked to your real identity.
Previously used nicknames may be stored in inactive user records to help identify users who change nicknames to evade moderation. This is used solely for security and moderation purposes.
Private messages sent to admins and suspicious event data may be temporarily held in server memory for moderation review. This content is not persisted to disk and is automatically purged from memory.
When users are banned, we store ban records including fingerprints, IP addresses (if available), and associated nicknames. This is necessary to enforce bans and prevent ban evasion.
The GCR app transmits all audio data exclusively through our secure server partners, CloudFlare and DigitalOcean. Unlike many similar services, there are no peer-to-peer connections. All traffic is routed through our controlled infrastructure.
Our infrastructure, hosted by CloudFlare and DigitalOcean, sees the IP addresses of connecting users and their channel ID for routing and moderation purposes. This operational data is stored as described above but is not shared with third parties for tracking or advertising.
This policy does not cover external sites you may access from links within the app, such as:
Payment/support platforms (like patreon.com/dialer).
Our Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices of external sites, who may use cookies, pixel tags, and other technologies. Please review their policies separately.
Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent. We will post any privacy policy changes on this page. Our core principle is that we do not collect personally identifiable information, and we store operational data only as necessary for security and moderation purposes.
