Privacy Policy

MBTA Tracker · Last updated: May 5, 2026

Overview

MBTA Tracker is designed with your privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or share any personal information. This policy explains what data the app uses and how it is handled.

Data We Do Not Collect

MBTA Tracker does not collect any of the following:

• Personal information (name, email, phone number)
• Location data
• Device identifiers or advertising IDs
• Usage analytics or tracking data
• Browsing or search history

Data Stored on Your Device

The app stores the following data locally on your device only:

• Tracked routes: The subway lines and bus routes you choose to follow, including stop and direction preferences.
• Notification schedules: The days and time windows you configure for arrival alerts.
• Onboarding status: Whether you have completed the initial setup.

This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to any server.

Network Requests

The app makes network requests to the MBTA's public API (mbta.com) to fetch real-time arrival predictions. These requests contain only the route, stop, and direction information needed to retrieve predictions. No personal data is sent.

Third-Party Services

MBTA Tracker does not use any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. There are no SDKs that collect data in the background.

Notifications

If you enable arrival alerts, notifications are generated locally on your device based on your configured schedule. No push notification servers or external services are involved.

Widgets

The lock screen widget accesses your tracked route data via a shared App Group container on your device. This data stays on your device and is used solely to display arrival countdowns.

Children's Privacy

MBTA Tracker does not collect data from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this privacy policy, the changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Since the app collects no data, we do not anticipate significant changes.
