Accounts & submissions
Where forms are offered (e.g., the contact form), you agree that the information you provide is accurate and that you have the right to share it.
Third-party services
Links to other sites (e.g., AllStarLink, EchoLink, Broadcastify, Formspree, Icecast directory pages) are provided for convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for their content or policies.
Intellectual property
Unless noted otherwise, site content is © NA0D. You may link to pages freely. Please request permission before reproducing substantial portions of text, media, or logos. Third-party marks are the property of their owners.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site and streams are provided without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site, streams, or links.

2) Privacy Policy
What we collect
- Contact form data: When you submit the contact form, we receive the fields you provide (e.g., name, email, message) and the page you came from. The form is processed by Formspree (a third-party form service). See Formspree’s privacy policy for their processing practices.
- Basic server logs: Our web and audio servers typically log IP address, request/response data, timestamps, user-agent, and referrer for security and operations.
- Audio streaming metadata: Icecast servers may expose public stream metadata (stream title/mount name, listener counts). If you contribute a stream, your source connection details (e.g., IP) may be logged on the audio server for security and troubleshooting.
- Cookies/analytics: If analytics or performance tools are enabled in the future, this page will be updated to describe them. We currently aim to minimize tracking.
How we use information
- To respond to messages you send via the contact form.
- To operate, secure, and improve the website and audio services.
- To detect, prevent, and investigate abuse or outages.
Sharing
- Service providers: We use Formspree to process contact form submissions. They receive your submission so we can read and reply. We may also use hosting/CDN or monitoring vendors. We do not sell your personal information.
- Legal/disclosure: We may disclose information to comply with law, protect rights and safety, or respond to lawful requests.
Retention
- Contact submissions are kept as long as needed to respond and maintain reasonable records.
- Server logs are kept only as long as operationally necessary for security and diagnostics.
- Audio archives (if provided at archive.na0d.org) are publicly accessible and may have their own retention cadence; availability may change over time.
Your choices
- You can choose not to submit the contact form. If you previously contacted us and want your message removed, use the contact form and include enough detail for us to find it.
- You can listen to streams directly without the
.m3uplaylist if your device works better that way.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate for a hobby/volunteer website. No Internet service is 100% secure.
International visitors
This site is operated in the United States. By using it, you understand your information may be processed in the U.S. U.S. laws may differ from those where you live.
Accessibility
We aim to keep pages keyboard-navigable and screen-reader friendly. If you encounter any barriers, please tell us via the contact form. We’ll do our best to fix issues.
3) Changes to this page
We may update these Terms and the Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date reflects the most recent changes. Material updates will be posted here.
