2. What the app does
The app shows real-time train arrivals, departures and information by consulting public sources (such as information services from RFI, ViaggiaTreno and Trenord). The app is not affiliated with or endorsed by these operators. No account is required, and we do not ask for your name, email address or other registration details.
3. Data processed
| Data | Why | Where it stays |
|---|---|---|
| Favourite stations and trains, settings | Remember your choices | Only on your phone; not sent to us |
| Precise location (only if you grant permission) | Show your location and nearby stations on the map | Used on your phone and by Google Maps for the map; not stored by us |
| Advertising ID, IP address, device and ad usage information | Display ads (personalised only with your consent) and measure them | Google AdMob and Meta Audience Network |
| Technical and usage statistics data (installation identifier, app events, crashes) | Understand how the app is used and fix errors | Google Firebase |
Requests to railway data sources are sent from your phone and contain only what is needed to retrieve timetable information (such as the station name or train number).
4. Advertising and consent
The app is free thanks to advertising. Users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland see a consent message on first launch, managed by Google's platform (IAB TCF-certified), where they can accept, refuse or choose by purpose and partner. If you refuse, non-personalised or limited ads may still appear. You can change your choice at any time using the “Privacy” item in the app menu.
You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings (Settings › Google › Ads).
5. Third-party services
These providers process data according to their own policies:
- Google AdMob – policies.google.com/technologies/ads
- Google Firebase – firebase.google.com/support/privacy
- Google Maps – policies.google.com/privacy
- Meta Audience Network – facebook.com/privacy/policy
Some of these providers may transfer data outside the EU, using the safeguards provided by the GDPR (such as standard contractual clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework).
6. Legal basis and retention
Personalised advertising is based on your consent; non-personalised advertising, technical statistics and app security are based on our legitimate interest in providing and maintaining a free, working app. We do not store personal data on our own servers: the providers listed above retain the data for the periods stated in their privacy policies.
7. Children
The app is not intended for children under 14 and does not knowingly collect their data.
8. Your rights
You have the right to access your data, request rectification or erasure, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent and request portability by emailing esseppicode@gmail.com. You can also lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (www.garanteprivacy.it).
9. Changes
If this policy changes, we will publish the new version on this page and update the date at the top.
