Privacy Policy for Градски транспорт Live Sofia

IdeaMAX.eu ("we," "our," or "us") is the developer and operator of the mobile application Градски транспорт Live Sofia (hereinafter referred to as the "App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling any information responsibly. This Privacy Policy is designed to provide you with clear, transparent, and comprehensive information about our data practices.

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the terms described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. Information We Collect and How We Use It

The App is designed to function with minimal data requirements. We prioritize your privacy by collecting only what is strictly necessary for the App's core features.

1.1 Location Information

The primary feature of the App involves helping users view real-time public transport information relevant to their vicinity. To enable this:

• We may request permission to access your device's location services.
• This access is used solely to display nearby stops, routes, or other location-based features within the App.
• Location access occurs only when the App is actively in use (foreground). If you grant additional background location permission, it may be used for optional features like notifications about approaching vehicles (if implemented).
• We process location data locally on your device and do not transmit, store, or share it with any servers or third parties.

You can revoke location permissions at any time through your device's settings, which may limit some App functionality.

1.2 No Other Data Collection

Beyond optional location access, the App does not collect any other information from your device, including but not limited to:

• Personal identifiers (e.g., name, email address, phone number, or account details).
• Device identifiers (e.g., advertising IDs or unique hardware identifiers).
• Usage patterns, browsing history, or analytics data.
• Contacts, photos, files, or any other personal content.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect, Store, or Share

We want to be explicitly clear about what we avoid to build trust:

• No personal data storage: Nothing is saved on our servers or any remote location.
• No data sharing: We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose any information to third parties, including advertisers, analytics providers, or partners.
• No advertising or tracking: The App contains no ads, no in-app tracking technologies (like cookies or pixels), and no behavioral profiling.
• No account requirements: You do not need to create an account or provide login credentials.
• No background data collection: Except for explicitly granted background location (which remains local), the App does not operate or collect data when closed.

Our goal is to provide a simple, useful tool for public transport navigation without compromising your privacy in any way.

3. Permissions Explained

The App requests only the following permission:

• Location Permission: Required for features that show information based on your current position. This is standard for transport apps and is used exclusively on your device.

We do not request permissions for camera, microphone, storage, contacts, or any other sensitive access.

4. Data Security and Retention

Since we do not collect or store any data remotely:

• There are no servers to secure or data breaches to worry about from our side.
• Any temporary processing (e.g., location calculations) happens entirely on your device and is deleted when you close the App.
• We follow industry best practices for app development to ensure the App is secure and free from vulnerabilities.

That said, no app or device is 100% immune to risks. We recommend keeping your device OS and the App updated for the latest security patches.

5. Children's Privacy

The App is intended for general audiences and does not target or knowingly collect information from children under 13 years of age (or the equivalent minimum age in relevant jurisdictions). If we become aware of any such collection, we will delete it immediately. Parents or guardians with concerns should contact us using the details below.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have full control over your information:

• Deny or revoke permissions in your device settings at any time.
• Uninstall the App to remove all local temporary data.
• Contact us for any privacy-related inquiries—we respond promptly.

Depending on your region (e.g., EU residents under GDPR), you may have additional rights such as access or deletion requests. Since we collect no data, these are inherently fulfilled.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the App or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted here with a new effective date. We encourage you to review it periodically. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
