The Next Radio (“TNR”, “we”) is an independent radio station and music outlet based in Montreal, Quebec. This policy explains what personal information thenextradio.net collects, why, and what you can do about it.

Who is responsible

The person in charge of the protection of personal information at The Next Radio is Axel Calderon, Founder. Contact: [email protected].

What we collect

  • Forms. When you write to us through a form (for example Partner with TNR), we receive what you type: your name, email, company, band or venue, a link and your message. We use it only to answer you.
  • Emails. If you email us (for example to send your music), we keep the message and its attachments to listen, answer and, if you agree, feature your music.
  • Audience measurement. We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are read, in aggregate.
  • Language choice. The site remembers the language you pick (English or French) with a cookie (pll_language) and in your browser’s local storage (tnr_lang).

We do not sell personal information and we do not run ads that track you across other sites.

Services that receive data

  • Cloudflare: delivers and protects the site, and runs Turnstile, the anti-spam check on our forms.
  • Akismet (Automattic): checks form messages for spam.
  • Google: Google Analytics (audience), Google Fonts (typography) and Google Maps (venue maps on show pages).
  • YouTube and Spotify: videos and music players embedded on some pages. They load from their servers when you view those pages.
  • Our radio server
  • Impact (affiliate platform for Ticketmaster): a script that records visits and clicks on ticket links, so The Next Radio can earn a commission when you buy tickets through those links. The price you pay does not change.
    • (radio.thenextradio.net): plays the live stream and shows what is on air.
  • Our web host: stores the site and the messages sent through forms.

Some of these providers process data outside Quebec, including in the United States.

Cookies

Google Analytics and Impact only run if you accept them in the cookie notice. Until then, no analytics or affiliate cookies are set. Your choice stays on your device for 12 months, and you can change it at any time with the “Cookies” link at the bottom of every page. The radio, the forms and the rest of the site work the same either way.

How long we keep it

We keep messages and submissions as long as needed to answer you and to keep a record of what we featured. You can ask us to delete them at any time.

Your rights

You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, and withdraw your consent. Write to [email protected]. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can contact the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec.

Changes

If this policy changes, we update this page and its date.
