You can use our service to find out about transport services, to plan journeys and to get news about journeys you are planning to take, for example if a bus is running late.

The type of personal information we collect 

If you choose to sign up to receive email notifications about the services, we will store the following information which you will need to tell us:

• Your email address – so we can send you email alerts. You do not have to sign up for email alerts to use the web site or the app.
• A password – this is encrypted and only you can see it

You can return to your profile to change it or delete it at any time. If you delete it, all data related to you is permanently deleted. You will have to create a new account to receive further travel alerts.

We also store the following data against your profile:

• Any stops, services, localities or transport operators for which you’d like to receive alerts
• Any journey options where you have changed the defaults, for example if you change your preferred walking speed or select the option which gives you journeys with fewer changes.

We also store a code that identifies your mobile device and the make of the device. This is not stored alongside or linked with your email address and it only identifies the device, not an individual person, unless you choose to link your device to an email address.

If you choose to not sign up to receive email alerts about the services, you can sign up for alerts to your mobile device without giving us any personal information such as a name or email address. We will use the unique Device identifier to send alerts to the mobile device.

How we get the personal information and why we have it

Most of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you for the following reason:

• We use it to send you travel alerts

We use the information that you have given us in order to send you travel alerts and for no other purpose.

That this is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that applies to us; or that you have given your consent to the processing.

How we store your personal information 

Your information is securely stored in Eire. We do not transfer any Personal Data overseas.

We keep your email address and your preferred journey options for as long as your travel alert account is active. We will only keep your information for as long as you use the service. You can delete your account at any time and as soon as the account is deleted the information will be permanently deleted.
