Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 30, 2026

Your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains how CT Bus ("the App") handles your information.

1. Information We Collect

The App is designed with privacy in mind. We collect minimal data:

• Location Data (optional): If you grant permission, the App uses your location to find nearby bus stops and calculate distance to buses. Location data is processed on-device only and is never sent to our servers.
• Selected Area: Your chosen town (Hartford, New Haven, etc.) is stored locally on your device. It never leaves your device.
• Favorite Routes: Your saved routes are stored locally on your device using SwiftData. This data never leaves your device.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect your name, email address, or personal identifiers
• We do not track your travel patterns or commute history
• We do not sell or share any data with third parties
• We do not use analytics or tracking SDKs
• We do not collect device identifiers for advertising

3. Network Requests

The App makes network requests solely to fetch publicly available transit data:

• CTtransit GTFS-Realtime feeds (vehicle positions, trip updates, service alerts)

These requests do not include any personal information or device identifiers.

4. Advertising

The free version of the App may display ads. Ads are served by third-party ad networks that may collect anonymized device information in accordance with their own privacy policies. Premium subscribers see no ads.

5. Data Storage

All app data (selected area, favorite routes, preferences) is stored locally on your device. No personal data is stored on external servers.

6. Children's Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The App is a general transit information tool suitable for all ages.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes through the App or on this page.
