BusWatch — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 12 June 2026

BusWatch is a Wear OS app that shows live public-transport (bus) arrival times for stops near you in Israel. This policy explains what the app does with data. In short: BusWatch does not collect, store, or share any personal information, and has no accounts, ads, or analytics.

Location

BusWatch requests the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission to find the bus stops nearest to you. Your location is used only on your device to compute the closest stops from a bundled list of stops. Your location is never transmitted to the developer, never stored, and never shared with anyone.

Network requests

To show live arrival times, the app sends the public stop code (a public bus-stop number, e.g. 12631) — not your location — to the third-party service curlbus.app, which returns real-time arrivals from Israel Ministry of Transport open data. The app also periodically downloads the public list of bus stops from the Hasadna open-bus API. No personal or device identifiers are sent in these requests.

Data collected

None. BusWatch has no user accounts, collects no personal data, uses no advertising, and includes no third-party analytics or tracking SDKs.

Children

The app is a general-purpose transit utility and is not directed at children. It collects no data from anyone.
