Privacy Policy
Last updated: 13th November, 2024
1. Introduction
Welcome to MRT Buddy ("we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle any personal information we may access when you use our Android application. Your privacy is of utmost importance to us, and we are committed to protecting it.
2. Data Collection and Use
MRT Buddy uses Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to read data from your transit cards. The app accesses the balance and trip information stored directly on the card itself. To enhance your experience and provide a more complete usage history, the app now stores transaction data from your transit cards on your device. This allows you to accumulate more records over time as you scan your card.
3. Data Storage
All transaction data collected from your transit cards is stored locally on your device. We do not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data to our servers or any third parties. The data never leaves your device.
4. No Internet Connectivity
Our app operates entirely offline. It does not connect to the internet or any external servers. As a result, no data is transmitted off your device at any time.
4. Data Sharing
Since we do not collect or store any of your personal information on our servers, we do not share any data with third parties. All data remains on your device.
5. Data Security
While our app stores transaction data on your device to provide you with an extended usage history, we are committed to ensuring that your information remains secure. The app only accesses and retains the necessary data to enhance your experience. We recommend securing your device to prevent unauthorized access.
6. Children's Privacy
Our app is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
