Usage Data: We may collect anonymized data such as device type, operating system version, app crashes, and app usage statistics via analytics tools (e.g., Firebase Analytics) to improve app performance.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the limited information collected to:
-
Show nearby stations and real-time arrival times (if location access is granted)
-
Improve app performance, functionality, and user experience

Monitor and fix technical issues
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent user data. We may share anonymized usage statistics with third-party services (e.g., Google Firebase) to help us understand app performance. No personal data is ever shared.
