Introduction
SG Transit ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our data practices for the SG Transit mobile application (the "App").
Our fundamental principle: We collect no personal information from users. All data processing occurs locally on your device.
Information Collection
Personal Information
We do not collect, store, or process any personal information including but not limited to:
- Names, email addresses, or phone numbers
- User accounts or registration data
- Personal identifiers or demographic information
Location Data
- Location services are used exclusively on-device to display nearby bus stops and MRT stations
- Location data is not transmitted to external servers
- Location access may be disabled through device settings without affecting core functionality
Application Data
All user-generated data is stored locally on the device:
- Favorite bus stop selections
- Application preferences and settings
- Search history and usage patterns
Data Processing and Storage
Local Processing
All data processing occurs on the user's device. No personal or usage data is transmitted to remote servers.
Third-Party Data Sources
The application retrieves publicly available transit information from:
- Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) for real-time bus arrival data
- Standard mapping services for geographical display
Information Sharing and Disclosure
No Data Sharing
As no personal information is collected, there is no personal data available for sharing with third parties.
Legal Compliance
In the absence of collected personal data, disclosure requests cannot be fulfilled as no relevant information exists.
Data Retention and Deletion
Local Storage Only
All user data remains exclusively on the device and is subject to the user's control.
Complete Removal
Uninstalling the application permanently removes all associated data as no external storage or backup occurs.
User Rights and Controls
Data Access
Users have complete access to all locally stored data through the application interface.
Data Modification
Users may modify or delete any locally stored preferences or favorites at any time.
Service Withdrawal
Users may cease using the service without any data retention concerns.

The local-only architecture provides inherent security by eliminating data transmission risks.
