Privacy & editorial standards

This development preview

This build displays station profile features. Its contact form opens your own email app and does not submit a message to a server. Facebook links take you to Facebook; this build does not automatically embed Facebook tracking or import your comments.

Live radio

When you press Play, your browser connects to Zeno.FM and its streaming infrastructure to receive the broadcast. No audio is requested before you choose to listen. Zeno may deliver its own advertising with the stream. See Zeno’s privacy policy for details of its service.

Staff access

When staff authentication is configured, the service uses cookies needed to maintain staff sessions. Public readers do not need an account. The newsroom preview stores drafts only in the browser on the device used.

Our editorial approach

Bus Radio’s internal policy emphasizes accuracy, fairness, verification, independence and prompt correction of errors. News articles require editorial approval before publication. Sensitive information and the identities of vulnerable subjects require careful review.

A final privacy notice reflecting the deployed hosting, analytics, service providers and retention arrangements must be approved before public launch.
