Collecting and Using Your Personal Data

Types of Data Collected

Location Data

The Application accesses Your Device's precise location (GPS) only after You grant the location permission, and only for the following features:

Showing Your position on the map (foreground location): Your current location is displayed on the map inside the Application. This location is used on Your Device only and is not sent to Us.
Sending Your location in a train line chat (foreground location): when You tap "Send location", Your current coordinates and the time they were recorded are sent to Our servers and shared as a message in the selected train line chat, so other travelers can see where the train is. Before sending, the Application checks on Your Device that You are near the selected railway line; if You are not, nothing is sent.
Live location sharing (background location): if You choose to share Your live location and grant background ("Allow all the time") location permission, the Application continues to collect Your location periodically, including when the Application is closed or not in use, for the duration You select (up to 90 minutes). Each new position is sent to Our servers and appended to Your live location message so other travelers in the chat can follow the train's progress. A persistent notification is shown while sharing is active. Sharing stops automatically when the selected duration ends or when You are no longer on the railway line, and You can stop it at any time from the Application.

Location Data shared in a chat is visible to other users of that train line chat together with Your display name. We do not use Location Data for advertising, we do not sell it, and we do not collect location in the background unless You have started a live location session. You can revoke location permission at any time in Your Device settings; the rest of the Application will continue to work.

Account and Profile Data

When You sign in with Google or Apple, We receive Your name, email address and profile picture from that provider. You can also use the Application anonymously, in which case only an anonymous identifier is created. You may edit Your display name and profile from within the Application.

User Content

Messages, reactions, location messages and reports You send in train line chats are stored on Our servers and are visible to other users of that chat. Reported messages may be reviewed by Our moderators to enforce our community rules.

Usage Data, Device Data and Identifiers

We automatically collect information such as Your Device model, operating system version, app version, language, crash logs, performance data, interactions with the Application, push notification token and advertising identifier.

Use of Your Personal Data

To provide and operate the Service, including train schedules, train line chats and location sharing.
To manage Your Account and authenticate You.
To send You push notifications about chats, news and activity You are interested in.
To moderate content and keep the community safe.
To diagnose crashes, measure performance and improve the Service.
To display advertisements.

Third-Party Service Providers

We share data with the following service providers, only to the extent needed for the purposes described above:

Supabase — hosting of Our database, authentication and backend functions (stores Account data, chat messages and shared Location Data).
Google Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics, Performance Monitoring, Cloud Messaging, Remote Config) — analytics, crash reporting, performance and push notifications.
Sentry — error and crash reporting.
Google AdMob — displaying advertisements, which may use Your advertising identifier and Device data. See how Google uses data from partner apps.
Google Sign-In and Sign in with Apple — authentication.

Location Data is not shared with advertising or analytics providers. We do not sell Your Personal Data.

Retention of Your Personal Data

We keep Your Account data and User Content (including location messages) for as long as Your Account exists or as needed to provide the Service. Location that is only shown on the map is not stored by Us. Analytics and crash data are retained according to the retention settings of the providers listed above.

Deleting Your Data

You can delete Your Account at any time from the Profile screen in the Application ("Delete account"). This deletes Your Account, profile and reports from Our servers. Messages You posted in public train line chats (including location messages) are anonymized: Your identity is removed from them. If Your Account is suspended for violating our community rules at the time of deletion, We keep Your sign-in identifier and email address to enforce the suspension. You may also contact Us at the email below to request deletion.

Security of Your Personal Data

Data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS). While We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Your Personal Data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 13, and We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from them. If You believe a child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us and We will delete it.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify You of changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
