Privacy Policy

Effective February 8, 2026

CommuteGlance is built with privacy as a core principle. We collect the minimum data necessary to deliver transit information to you.

Location Data

Location access is optional and requires your explicit permission. When granted, your location is used on-device to find nearby stations and is never transmitted to our servers or any third party. Your location is not stored.

Crash Reports

CommuteGlance uses Sentry for crash reporting. This feature is optional and can be toggled off in Settings. Crash reports contain technical diagnostic data (device model, OS version, stack traces) and never include personal information.

Transit Data

Transit schedules (GTFS data) are cached locally on your device to enable offline access. Your saved routes and preferences are stored only on your device.

What We Don't Do

  • We do not collect personal identity information
  • We do not use analytics or tracking SDKs
  • We do not sell, share, or monetize any user data
  • We do not serve advertisements
  • We do not create user profiles or accounts

In short: CommuteGlance works entirely on your device. The only network requests are to fetch live transit data from public transit APIs and, if you opt in, to send anonymous crash reports.
