Privacy Policy for Lahori Raasta (App Version)
Lahori Raasta is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information when you use our mobile application. By using the app, you agree to the terms described below. This app does not require user registration and does not collect personal data such as name, email, or address. All features are accessible without creating an account.
However, in order to provide features like showing your route on the map or directions to a specific transport stop, the app may access your location. This is done only when you allow it, and your location data is used temporarily to show your position on Google Maps. The app does not store or transmit your location to any server or third-party.
Introduction
Lahori Raasta is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile application. By using the app, you agree to the practices described below.
Personal Information
Our app does not require user registration and does not collect any personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number. All features in Lahori Raasta are accessible without creating an account, ensuring your privacy is maintained.
Location Access
To offer navigation features such as showing your route or directions to a nearby transport stop, the app may request permission to access your location. This access is strictly on-demand—only when you click on relevant buttons like the map or direction icon. Your location data is used temporarily to display your real-time position on Google Maps, and is never stored, saved, or transmitted to any server or third-party service.
Push Notifications
Lahori Raasta uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to send helpful, non-personalized push notifications. These may include transport updates or general reminders. When needed, the app will request Post Notification Permission. This is optional, and you can always manage or disable notifications via your device settings. No personal data is collected or stored for this feature.
Authentication with Firebase
Lahori Raasta uses Firebase Authentication for secure login and user identity verification. If you choose to sign in with your email, Google, or other supported methods, Firebase Authentication may collect and store information such as your email address and user ID to authenticate you.
We do not store or manage your passwords or sensitive authentication details directly. All authentication data is handled securely by Firebase in accordance with Firebase's Privacy Policy.
This information is only used to allow you to log in and personalize your experience, and it is not shared with third parties or used for advertising purposes.
Third-Party Libraries and Services
The app integrates several trusted third-party libraries and tools to provide a smooth experience:
Google Maps SDK & Maps Compose: To display bus routes, stops, and landmarks interactively.
Google Play Location Services: To get your device’s current location when navigation is required.
Firebase Cloud Messaging: For sending push notifications.
Jetpack Compose: For building UI components.
Material3 Design System: For modern layout and styling.
These services may collect anonymous usage statistics according to their own policies. For example, Google’s Privacy Policy can be found here.
Libraries & Services We Use
Google Maps SDK: We use Google Maps via com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps and maps-compose. These libraries allow us to display transport routes and nearby landmarks on an interactive map.
Google Play Location Services: Used to access your device's current location for showing navigation directions. This is powered by play-services-location.
Jetpack Compose UI Toolkit: We use Jetpack Compose to build all screens, animations, and components. No personal data is collected via the UI framework.
Material3 Design: Visual styling and layout elements follow Material3 for modern UX.
Data Storage
All transport-related data in Lahori Raasta — including bus stops, station details, and map visuals — is stored locally on your device. The app does not use any cloud storage, remote servers, or online databases. Your data remains private and offline.
Your Control
You’re fully in control of what permissions you grant. The app only asks for location or notification access when needed. If you deny a permission, the app will still function — but without certain features like navigation or push alerts. You can always change permission settings anytime through your device settings.
