Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Hyderabad Metro Map is designed as an accessible public transit guide that does not require mandatory user accounts or logins. We may collect the following types of information:

• Device Geolocation Data (Optional): When you use our "Nearest Metro Station" feature, we request permission to access your GPS coordinates locally in your browser. This location data is processed strictly in your device memory to compute distances to stations and is never stored, logged, or transmitted to remote servers.
• Technical & Log Data: Non-personally identifiable technical information such as your browser type, device operating system, referring URL, IP address, and pages visited to ensure stability and performance.
• Contact Inquiries: If you voluntarily reach out via our contact form or email, we collect your name, email address, and message contents to respond to your queries.

2. How We Use Your Information

We utilize the collected information strictly for the following purposes:

• Computing accurate shortest-path train routes, intermediate stops, and transit fares.
• Enhancing website performance, mobile responsiveness, and user experience.
• Monitoring website health, mitigating denial-of-service threats, and preventing abuse.
• Responding to user-submitted transit corrections, bug reports, and feedback.

3. Cookies & Third-Party Services

We may use standard web cookies and anonymous identifiers to analyze traffic trends via privacy-respecting analytics tools (such as Google Analytics). Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us understand which routes and station directories are most frequently searched. You can disable cookies at any time through your browser settings without affecting the core route planner features.

4. Data Security & Retention

We employ industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards—including SSL/TLS encryption across all site traffic—to protect against unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketing companies.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy periodically to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory updates. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
