While Radio Trunk has not made any material changes to the way it processes data about its users, it has updated this policy to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation which came into force on May 25 2018.

Radio Trunk respects your privacy and wants you to understand how it collects, uses and shares data about you. This Privacy and Cookie Policy covers its data collection practices and describes your rights to access, correct, or restrict its use of your personal data.

Unless it links to a different policy or state otherwise, this Privacy and Cookie Policy applies when you visit or use the radiotrunl.co.za website, mobile applications, APIs or related services (the “Services”).

The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed. Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that is stored about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

IP Addresses

IP addresses are used by your computer every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically collected by Radi Trunk’s web server as part of demographic and profile data known as “traffic data” so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you.

How Does Radio Trunk Use the Information That You Provide to It?

Broadly speaking, it uses personal information for purposes of administering its business activities, providing customer service and making available other items and services to its customers and prospective customers.

It will not obtain personally-identifying information about you when you visit its site, unless you choose to provide such information to Radio Trunk, nor will such information be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without the approval of the user at the time of collection.

It may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when it, in good faith, believes that the law requires it or for the protection of its legal rights.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
