TransSee Privacy Policy

A transit prediction site can potentially gather a lot of personal information, like your where and when you travel and your location within a block. TransSee is set up not to collect personal information. Standard web server logs are disabled, but errors are still logged. Most logging is done by month and transit agency. For example User Agent, transit stop and the first 3 bytes of the IP address are logged by month and agency, but each log is separate. There is a hit count by agency and hour of the week.

By default, Google may track the pages that you use with Google Tag Manager as well as pages that contain Google ads and you are subject to their privacy policy. You can avoid tracking by becoming a Premium User. To prevent abuse, premium user activity is tracked by transit agency and month.

The default TransSee and Mapnik map tiles are generated by TransSee. If you select a MapBox tiles will be loaded directly from them and you will be subject to their privacy policy. If you choose Google Static Map the maps will be loaded directly from Google.

TransSee uses a cookie to store your settings. The preferences are stored directly in the cookie and it does not contain a unique id. If you set up notification by email or become a Premium User your email is stored and a cookie is used.

You can request deletion of the data associated with your email address by sending an email to doconnor@transsee.ca.

Warrant canary: TransSee has not been subject to any requests from the Canadian or any other government for user information.
