App Name: MyRide Transit Manager App
This Privacy Policy explains how MyRide Transit Manager ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you use our mobile application ("App"). By using the App, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.
The MyRide Transit Manager App collects limited and necessary data to support safe transportation operations.
The app collects precise device location (GPS coordinates) from the device used by the van manager or driver in order to support the core functionality of the transit service.
Location data may be collected in the background while a trip is active, even when the application is not visible on the screen. This allows the system to provide continuous van tracking and generate accurate estimated arrival times (ETAs) for patron guardians.
Location tracking in the application is trip-based. This means that background location collection begins only when a bus driver or attendant starts a trip within the app, and it automatically stops when the trip is ended.
The app does not collect or transmit user's location data outside of an active trip session.
Location data is used to:
Background location access is required for the core functionality of the service, which allows guardians to track the van and receive accurate estimated arrival times during an active trip.
Collected information is used strictly for the following purposes:
Location data is used only for core transportation functionality, including live van tracking and route monitoring.
We do not use data for advertising or marketing purposes.
We do not sell, trade, or rent personal data.
Information may be shared only with:
Location information may be shared only for the purpose of providing van tracking services.

Before requesting this permission, the app displays a clear in-app disclosure explaining why background location access is required.
The disclosure message shown to users is similar to the following:
Users must explicitly grant this permission through their device settings before location tracking can occur.
Location tracking stops automatically when the trip is ended.

Requests should be directed to the contact details below.
The app may rely on secure third-party services (such as cloud hosting or mapping services) strictly for operational purposes.
These services process data only to support application functionality and comply with applicable data protection standards. They do not use collected data for unrelated purposes.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any updates will be reflected within the app or on our official website.
Continued use of the app implies acceptance of the revised policy.
