Effective date

This Privacy Policy is effective as of 7 March 2026.

What we collect

We keep things minimal. SG Bus Explorer does not provide user accounts and we do not build personal profiles.

Cookies & analytics

We use cookies (or similar local storage) to:

• Remember your cookie consent choice.
• Measure site performance and usage via analytics (if enabled).

If you decline cookies, we will not intentionally set analytics cookies. Some strictly necessary functionality (e.g., remembering your consent preference) may still rely on local storage.

Location

If you choose to use features that rely on your device location (for example, opening nearby stops in a map app), your browser/device may ask for permission. We do not require location access to browse most pages.

When you open an external map (e.g., Google Maps), that request is sent directly to the third-party provider. We do not store precise location data on our servers.

Data sources & third-party services

We display transport information sourced from public APIs (for example, LTA DataMall). Search and map related features may call third-party services (for example, OneMap or Google Maps) depending on the feature you use.

These services may collect information under their own policies. We encourage you to review the relevant third-party privacy policies when you use those features.

How we use information

• Provide and maintain the site and its features.
• Understand aggregated usage to improve performance and user experience.
• Detect abuse, troubleshoot issues, and maintain security.

Sharing & disclosure

We do not sell personal data.

We may share limited information in the following cases:

• With service providers that help us run the website (e.g., hosting or analytics), if used.
• To comply with legal obligations or valid requests from authorities.
• To protect the rights, safety, and security of the site and its users.

Data retention

We retain technical logs and aggregated analytics for as long as reasonably necessary for operational, security, and performance purposes. We aim to minimize retention where practical.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

• You can accept or decline cookies via the cookie banner.
• You can disable cookies via your browser settings (this may affect site functionality).
• You can avoid sharing location by denying location permission in your browser/device.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
