Transit - Subway & Bus Times

"If you consent, we collect your location data (longitude and latitude) when you open the app and track your position while you are riding a public transit vehicle. We do not record your location when the app is not active."

Transit collects precise GPS coordinates (longitude and latitude) whenever the app is opened and continuously tracks position during transit rides. While they state no background tracking occurs, active-use tracking of precise coordinates is still significant for a transit app.

"We also share pseudonymous personal information, which is not associated with your account, with Public Transit Providers, and researchers. This information may include data sets such as: Coordinates of where the app was opened within a city, Information about travel intent, such as origin and destination coordinates, Details about trips, including the origin and destination of each leg of trips taken using the public transit agency."

Transit shares pseudonymized trip data — including origin/destination coordinates and travel intent — with transit agencies and researchers. While not linked to accounts, this data reveals detailed movement patterns and could potentially be re-identified.

"We retain your personal information until you request its deletion. You can delete your account related personal information by using the 'delete account' functionality in the App's settings menu. Once your account information is deleted, the pseudonymised data previously linked to your account becomes anonymous and is not deleted since it can no longer be linked back to you."

Transit retains personal data indefinitely with no automatic deletion timeline. Even after account deletion, pseudonymized data (including trip and location history) is kept permanently and never deleted.

"We will update this Privacy Policy for various reasons, such as to reflect changes to how we process your personal information, or if there are new laws requiring additional or different disclosures than those provided herein. If these changes are material, we will notify you on our Services or otherwise on our website."

Transit can update the privacy policy at any time and only commits to notifying users of material changes — no explicit consent or opt-out mechanism is provided for policy updates.

"In addition, we collect device information, push notification device identifiers, and app usage information. You instruct us to process or collect data, such as through your setting preferences, including when you authorize the collection of location data and motion activity when using the 'GO' functionality."

Transit collects device type, OS version, push notification identifiers, and motion/activity sensor data. Motion activity data from device sensors goes beyond basic transit functionality and reveals physical activity patterns.
