Privacy notice

BustimeFinder is an independent transit-information website. The person or organisation operating BustimeFinder is the data controller for processing it decides to carry out.

A dedicated public privacy contact and the controller's full legal identity are not yet published. Those details must be added before BustimeFinder enables optional analytics, advertising, affiliate measurement, accounts or contact forms. Until then, those optional services remain disabled.

BustimeFinder currently has no passenger accounts, booking checkout or contact form and does not ask visitors to submit names, email addresses, payment details or precise device location.

The service is a general public-transport directory rather than a service directed at children. It does not knowingly ask children for personal details. Any future advertising or audience-measurement feature will require a separate children-and-audience assessment before it is enabled.

Interactive maps load a public vector-map style from OpenFreeMap/OpenMapTiles using OpenStreetMap data. Loading maps sends the ordinary network information needed to serve those resources to the map provider. External links, such as an operator website or a photo-search link, are governed by the destination's own privacy notice once opened.

See the data-source directory for the public transport and mapping sources used by the service.

BustimeFinder may consider the following services later. They will not be switched on merely because they are described here.

• Microsoft Clarity: interaction analytics and session-replay features. It will require an appropriate consent signal before its analytics or advertising storage is granted.
• Google Analytics: audience and usage measurement. It will require clear disclosure, consent where required and configured data-retention controls.
• Google AdSense or another ad network: ad delivery, fraud prevention, measurement and possible personalisation. No ad tag will be added until the selected vendors are identified and a suitable consent-management platform is working.
• Awin affiliate measurement: attribution of a deliberate click or eligible sale to BustimeFinder. Any future affiliate link will be labelled as advertising before the click; measurement will remain off unless the required consent has been obtained.

Before any of these services is enabled, this notice and the cookie notice will be updated with the actual provider, purpose, information, legal basis, retention, international-transfer safeguards and withdrawal controls.

Current technical information is shared only with infrastructure and mapping providers to operate the site. Cloudflare operates a global network, so technical request data may be processed outside the visitor's country under the safeguards described in Cloudflare's privacy documentation.

The language cookie lasts no longer than one year unless removed earlier. Infrastructure, security and aggregate performance information is retained according to the configured provider and account controls and only for as long as needed for service operation, security and troubleshooting. BustimeFinder does not maintain an individual advertising profile.

The exact fields and retention period of Cloudflare Worker invocation logs still need to be confirmed and stated here. Optional trackers, advertising and affiliate measurement will remain disabled until the controller identity, privacy contact, applicable retention periods and related legal details are complete.

You can forget the saved language from the language menu, clear site data in your browser, block cookies, or stop loading the site. If optional services are introduced, refusing them will not block core timetable, map or directory functions and a persistent privacy-settings control will allow withdrawal.

Depending on the law that applies, people may have rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability and withdrawal of consent. UK visitors can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. A direct controller contact channel still needs to be published before optional processing is launched.

This page will be reviewed before a new analytics, advertising, affiliate, account or communication feature begins. Material changes will be dated here and, where required, presented before information is collected or consent is requested.
