Privacy Policy
EzyTrainz — Last updated: January 2025
The short version: EzyTrainz does not collect any personal information. Real-time train data is fetched from public rail APIs and displayed on your device — nothing is stored on our servers.
Introduction
Welcome to EzyTrainz. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile application for real-time UK train tracking.
Information We Don’t Collect
We do not collect any personal information from our users. The app does not require account registration or any personal data input.
Location Services
The app may request access to your device’s location to help you find nearby stations. This location data is:
- Used locally on your device to identify stations near you
- Not transmitted to our servers or stored anywhere by us
- Not shared with third parties by us
- Only used when you actively request nearby station information
Real-Time Train Data
EzyTrainz retrieves live train departure and arrival information from publicly available UK rail data feeds. This data:
- Is fetched on demand when you search for a station or service
- Is not linked to your identity in any way
- Is not stored on our servers
The rail data is provided by third-party public APIs. Your requests to retrieve train information may be subject to the terms and privacy policies of those data providers.
Local Data Storage
The app may store your recently searched or saved stations locally on your device for convenience. This data:
- Remains on your device only
- Is not transmitted to our servers
- Is not shared with third parties
- Can be cleared by uninstalling the app
Third-Party Advertising
Our app uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and process data according to their own privacy policy. This may include:
- Device information (such as device type, operating system)
- IP address
- Advertising identifiers
- Non-personal information about your app usage
You can learn more about how Google uses data by visiting Google’s Privacy Policy.
Your Rights
Under the UK Data Protection Act and GDPR, you have certain rights regarding your personal data. Since we don’t collect personal data, these rights don’t apply to our app’s direct data collection. However, you can:
- Opt out of personalised ads through your device settings
- Contact Google directly regarding any data collected through AdMob
- Control location permissions through your device settings
- Clear local app data by uninstalling the app
Children’s Privacy
EzyTrainz is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent and believe your child has provided personal information, please contact us.
