Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 6, 2026
At Navita, accessible via our mobile application, we prioritize the privacy and security of our users. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information collected and recorded by Navita and how we utilize that data to provide our smart bus tracking services.
1. Information Collection and Use
We operate under a "Data-Minimalism" framework, ensuring we only process information essential to the application's core functionality.
User Authentication Data: We collect your email address and profile information exclusively via Google Firebase for secure login and account management.
Purpose of Processing: These credentials are maintained with high security and are used strictly for user authentication; we do not utilize this data for marketing or any secondary purposes.
Technical System Data: To ensure application stability and performance, we collect limited device-specific information (e.g., device model, operating system version) through Firebase for crash reporting and diagnostic analytics.
2. Device Permissions
Minimal Access Policy: Navita does not request or require access to sensitive device permissions, such as your camera, contacts, or local file storage.
Network Requirements: The application requires access to your device's internet services solely to facilitate real-time tracking updates and essential app operations.
3. Third-Party Integrations
To provide a comprehensive transit experience, Navita integrates with specialized third-party service providers.
Service Providers: We utilize Google Firebase for backend authentication and analytics, and Google Maps for geospatial location visualization.
Third-Party Compliance: Your use of Navita is also subject to the privacy policies and data processing terms of these third-party providers, which may evolve over time.
4. Data Retention and Account Deletion
User Autonomy: You maintain full control over your data and may request to delete your account at any time through the application settings.
Permanent Erasure: Upon account deletion, all associated personal data is permanently purged from our active servers.
Irreversibility: Please be advised that once data is deleted, it cannot be recovered by the user or our technical support team.
5. Security and Service Availability
Data Safeguards: We employ industry-standard encryption and security protocols to safeguard your login information.
Service Level Disclaimer: While we strive for maximum uptime, Navita does not guarantee uninterrupted service and is not liable for periodic downtimes, server maintenance, or technical inaccuracies in GPS data.
6. Regulatory Compliance
This policy is structured to comply with Google Play Console transparency requirements and relevant data protection regulations.
Legal Jurisdiction: All data processing operations are governed by the legal constraints of the jurisdiction in which our service is hosted.
Policy Amendments: We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy to reflect service enhancements or regulatory changes. Notifications regarding these changes will be provided within future app updates.
