Last updated: January 20, 2026
NextBus ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our mobile application (the "App") collects, uses, and discloses information about you.
By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

We do not require you to create an account or provide personally identifiable information (such as your name, email address, or phone number) to use the core features of the App.
1.2. Usage Data
We may collect non-personal information about how you access and use the App ("Usage Data"). This Usage Data may include information such as your device's Internet Protocol address (e.g., IP address), device type, operating system version, the pages of our App that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and unique device identifiers.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected data for the following purposes:
• To provide and maintain the App (e.g., displaying bus arrival times).
• To improve the App's functionality and user experience.
• To monitor the usage of the App and detect technical issues.
• To provide location-specific features, such as "Nearby Stops."
3. Third-Party Services
The App may employ third-party companies and services to facilitate our service. These third parties have access to your data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
• Expo: We use Expo to build and update the App.

4. Data Retention
We retain Usage Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Since we do not require user accounts, we generally do not hold personal data.
5. Security of Your Data
The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
