Introduction

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Housemasters Radio collects, uses, and protects information when you visit and interact with our website.

Housemasters Radio is committed to respecting your privacy and handling any information we collect responsibly and transparently.


Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Housemasters Radio collects non-personally identifying information that web browsers and servers typically make available. This may include information such as browser type, language preference, referring website, and the date and time of each visitor request.

This information helps us better understand how visitors use the website and allows us to improve the experience for our audience.

From time to time, Housemasters Radio may publish aggregated statistics about website usage. These statistics do not include any personally identifiable information.

This may occur when visitors:

The type and amount of information collected depends on the nature of the interaction. Housemasters Radio only collects such information when it is necessary to fulfil the purpose of that interaction.

Visitors may refuse to supply personally identifying information, although doing so may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
