Privacy Policy for Tbilisi Trans

Effective date: February 23, 2026
Last updated: February 23, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Tbilisi Trans (the “App”) handles information when you use the iOS app and web app.

1. Data We Process

• Location data (optional): If you allow location access, the App uses your device location to show nearby stops and routes.
• App preferences and favorites: Settings such as theme, favorites, filters, and interface preferences are stored on your device.
• Search and favorites sync (optional): If you enable iCloud sync, search history and favorites can sync through your iCloud account using Apple iCloud Key-Value storage.

2. How We Use Data

• To provide core transit functionality (routes, nearby stops, arrival/schedule views).
• To remember your app settings and favorites.
• To sync selected app data across your devices when iCloud sync is enabled.

3. Data Sharing and Third Parties

The App requests transit and map data from third-party services needed for functionality (for example, transit APIs and map/geocoding services such as Mapbox). These services may receive technical request data such as IP address and request metadata as part of normal internet communication.

The App does not sell your personal data.

4. Tracking and Advertising

The App is not designed to track you across other companies’ apps or websites for advertising purposes.

5. Data Retention

• Local settings/favorites remain on your device until you delete them or uninstall the App.
• If iCloud sync is enabled, synced data remains in your iCloud storage until you disable sync or remove that data.

6. Your Choices

• You can deny location permission in iOS Settings.
• You can disable iCloud sync in the App settings.
• You can clear favorites/history from within the App.

7. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

8. Security

Reasonable measures are used to protect data handled by the App, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

9. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated over time. Updates will be posted at this URL with a revised “Last updated” date.
