Privacy Policy
Rail Guide is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information is collected when you use the Rail Guide website and mobile apps, and how it is used.
Information We Collect
Rail Guide does not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use the map. When you use the site, the following may be collected automatically:
Location data: If you use the "Show location" feature, your device's GPS coordinates are used solely to center the map on your position. This data is not stored or transmitted to our servers.
Usage data: Like most websites, our hosting provider may collect standard server log information such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. This data is used for security and performance purposes only.
Third-Party Services
Rail Guide uses Mapbox to render maps. Mapbox may collect usage data subject to their own privacy policy. We also link to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, which have their own privacy practices.
Cookies
Rail Guide does not use cookies for tracking or advertising. Mapbox and other embedded services may set cookies as described in their respective privacy policies.
Advertising
Rail Guide does not serve third-party advertising and does not sell or share your data with advertisers.
Children's Privacy
Rail Guide does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
