Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 9, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Bus Lai Liao ("we", "our", or "the app") handles your information when you use our mobile application and associated web services.

1. Information We Access & How It Is Used

Location Information (GPS & Network)

Bus Lai Liao requests access to your device's approximate and precise location (ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) solely to provide the following core features:

Locating Singapore bus stops within walking distance (e.g. within 400 meters of your position).
Automatically selecting your nearest saved/starred bus stop upon opening the app.

Your location data is processed locally on your device in real time. We do not store, track, transmit to our servers, or sell your location history.

Local Device Storage

The app saves your starred bus stops, preferred sort orders, and recent queries in your device's local storage (localStorage). This data stays entirely on your physical device and is never synchronized to external servers.

2. Third-Party Services & Analytics

To provide public transport data and support ongoing development, the app integrates the following third-party services:

Land Transport Authority (LTA) DataMall: Real-time bus arrival timings, bus service routes, and bus stop catalogs are queried from the official Singapore LTA DataMall open API. These queries contain only public bus stop codes and do not send personal user information.
Google AdMob (Google LLC): We display banner advertisements via Google AdMob. Google AdMob may collect and process device identifiers, advertising IDs, IP addresses, and diagnostic crash data in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy to serve ads and prevent fraud.

3. Data Retention and Security

We do not operate user accounts, databases of user identities, or server-side user tracking. Because no personal user profiles are collected by our service, we do not retain or sell personal data.

4. Children's Privacy

Bus Lai Liao is designed for general audiences commuting on Singapore public transit. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
