Privacy Policy
BusMap is built to show public transit information with as little personal data as possible. This policy explains what the app and website do and do not collect.
Information We Do Not Collect
BusMap does not ask for your name, email address, account login, precise device location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone, or advertising identifier. BusMap does not use third-party advertising trackers.
Information Stored On Your Device
The app may store your selected transit agency and a small cache of route and vehicle data on your device so the app opens faster and remembers your preferences. This information stays on your device and is not tied to an account.
Transit Data Requests
BusMap requests route, stop, arrival, and vehicle information from our backend service. Those requests may include public route IDs, stop IDs, agency IDs, and similar transit identifiers needed to return the information you requested.
App Launch Diagnostics
When the app opens, BusMap may send a small launch event to our backend with the app version, build number, platform, operating system version, and device model. The app may also send error reports with the app area that failed, the error message, and related public transit identifiers such as agency, route, stop, or vehicle IDs. We use this to understand which app and device versions need development attention. These events do not include a user ID, account ID, advertising identifier, or precise location.
Server Logs
Like most internet services, our backend and website host may process basic technical logs such as request time, requested URL, IP address, user agent, and error information. We use these logs to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve BusMap.
Data Sources
BusMap displays transit schedule and realtime data from public transit feeds. This data may be delayed, unavailable, or changed by the transit agency.
Children's Privacy
BusMap is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
We may update this policy as BusMap changes. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new last updated date.
