Privacy Policy for Puneri Transit
Effective Date: 25/04/2026
Puneri Transit respects the privacy of all users and is committed to protecting information shared while using the application. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected, how it is used, how third-party services may process data, and what choices users have regarding permissions and information handling.
By installing or using Puneri Transit, users agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Introduction
Puneri Transit is a mobile travel utility application designed to assist commuters with metro route guidance, train utilities, travel timing estimates, and transport-related convenience features within Pune and nearby transit systems.
The application is developed to provide route-based assistance, timetable-based estimations, and transport information in a simplified mobile format. The app operates independently and is not officially affiliated with any railway authority, metro authority, or government transport department unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Information We Collect
Puneri Transit is designed to minimize personal data collection. In general, users can use most features without creating an account or submitting sensitive personal information.
The application may collect limited technical or functional information depending on feature usage.
This may include:
• Device model and operating system version
• Application version
• Preferred language settings selected inside the app
• General usage interactions such as screen openings and feature usage
• Crash reports and performance diagnostics when errors occur
This information helps improve application stability, feature performance, and compatibility across devices.
Personal Information
Puneri Transit does not require users to create a personal account for normal usage.
The application does not intentionally collect personally identifiable information such as:
• Full name
• Address
• Government identification numbers
• Payment information
• Personal contacts
If users voluntarily contact support through email, the email address and message content may be visible to the developer for communication purposes.
Profile Features
If profile-related features are used inside the application, selected profile information such as display name or chosen profile image may be stored locally on the user’s device.
This local storage remains on the device and is used only to personalize interface appearance.
Such locally stored information is not automatically transmitted to external servers by Puneri Transit unless future features explicitly require cloud synchronization.
Location Permission
Certain transit utility features may request location permission to improve user experience.
Location may be used for:
• Showing nearby stations
• Utility services near current position
• Distance calculations
• Transport assistance based on local area
Puneri Transit only uses location when permission is granted by the user.
Users may deny location access and continue using core app features, although some location-based tools may become unavailable or less accurate.
The app does not continuously track precise location in the background unless clearly stated in future updates.
Metro Timing and Route Calculation
Metro departure timings displayed inside Puneri Transit are generated using structured timetable intervals, route sequencing, and station travel duration calculations based on available published service schedules.
These timings are estimated internally inside the application and may differ slightly from actual train operations due to:
• Operational delays
• Station dwell variations
• Crowd regulation
• Service adjustments
• Official announcements
Puneri Transit does not guarantee real-time operational accuracy and users should verify critical travel timing through official station systems when necessary.
Third-Party Services
Puneri Transit may use third-party services that independently process technical information.
These services may include:
• Google AdMob
• Google Play Services
• Android system libraries
• Crash diagnostic tools if enabled in future versions
Such services may automatically collect technical identifiers including:
• Advertising identifiers
• Device identifiers
• Approximate location signals
• Interaction metrics
These services operate under their own privacy policies.
Users are encouraged to review privacy practices of those providers separately.
Advertising
Puneri Transit may display advertisements through Google AdMob or similar mobile advertising services.
Advertising providers may collect certain non-personal technical information to serve relevant ads, including:
• Device advertising ID
• App interaction events
• General region information
• Ad performance statistics
Puneri Transit does not directly sell personal information to advertisers.
Users can reset or manage advertising identifiers through Android device settings.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Puneri Transit itself does not use browser cookies because it operates primarily as a mobile application.
However, integrated third-party advertising or analytics services may use mobile-equivalent identifiers for ad delivery, measurement, and fraud prevention.
Local Storage
Some preferences may be stored locally on the device, including:
• Language preference
• Disclaimer acknowledgement
• Profile display information
• Selected settings
This storage is used to improve app usability and reduce repeated setup actions.
Data Security
Reasonable technical efforts are used to maintain application safety and reduce unnecessary exposure of user-related information.
However, no mobile platform can guarantee absolute security under all conditions.
Users are encouraged to keep their devices secure and updated.
External Links
Puneri Transit may provide links to external pages such as:
• Privacy policy website
• Disclaimer pages
• Contact pages
• App store links
Once users leave the app and visit external websites, separate privacy practices may apply.
Puneri Transit is not responsible for privacy handling by third-party external websites.
Children’s Privacy
Puneri Transit is not specifically directed toward children under the age defined by local privacy regulations.
The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If any parent or guardian believes that unintended personal information has been shared, they may contact support for review.
User Choices
Users may control permissions through device settings, including:
• Location access
• Notification access
• Storage access where applicable
Users may also uninstall the application at any time.
Future Feature Changes
Puneri Transit may expand features in future updates including:
• More transit utilities
• Additional route modules
• Optional account systems
• Saved cloud preferences
If privacy practices materially change, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.
Data Retention
Locally stored preferences remain on the device until:
• App data is cleared
• App is uninstalled
• User changes settings manually
Developer contact messages may be retained only for communication purposes.
Legal Compliance
Puneri Transit is intended to operate in accordance with applicable mobile platform requirements and privacy expectations.
Reasonable efforts are made to maintain transparency in data usage.
