Track the Track does not collect personal information. The app does not require an account, email address, name, or any identifying information to use.
The following preferences are saved locally on your device only using standard device storage (SharedPreferences). They are never transmitted to any server:
The app does not request access to your device's location.
When you open a station or view train arrivals, the app makes requests to our backend server (hosted on Cloudflare Workers) to retrieve real-time WMATA train data, weather conditions, and service alerts. These requests include:
No personally identifiable information is attached to these requests. The station code is not linked to your identity.
Track the Track retrieves data from the following third-party services. We do not control their privacy practices.
Our backend database retains anonymized transit data (train arrival patterns, incident history, elevator outage history) for analytical purposes. This data contains only WMATA-provided transit information — no user identifiers, no device IDs, no IP addresses are stored in the database.
Raw request logs are retained by Cloudflare per their standard log retention policies.
Track the Track does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. The app contains no mechanisms to collect personal information from any user, regardless of age.
The app currently contains no analytics SDKs and no advertising. If advertising is introduced in a future version, this policy will be updated prior to release.
If this privacy policy changes materially, we will update the "Last updated" date below. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
