Privacy Policy

This privacy policy applies to the Slo-Motion app (hereby referred to as "Application") for iOS and Android devices that was created by the developer (hereby referred to as "Service Provider") as a Freemium service. This service is intended for use "AS IS".

1. Information We Collect

The Application does not require you to sign in, register, or create an account, and we do not collect your name, email address, or any other account-level identifier. The Application does not use analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting services, and we do not track you across other apps or websites.

That said, some features do send limited information to servers in order to work. Specifically:

• Search and schedule data. To show you timetables, stops, and routes, the App sends your search input (e.g. a stop or route name) or your device's coordinates (for "nearest stop" suggestions) to our backend and to the relevant public transit data provider. These requests are not linked to your name or any account, because none exists.
• Location data. If you grant permission, the App uses your device's location to show your position on the map, suggest the nearest stop, notify you when you approach a stop you've chosen to track (this requires "Allow all the time" / background location access), and to track your progress during an active trip you've started tracking. See Section 3 below for details.
• Issue reports. If you use the in-App "Report an Issue" feature, the title and description you write are sent to our backend so we can act on it. Please avoid including personal information you don't want us to see beyond what's needed to describe the issue.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above solely to provide and improve the App's core functionality: showing accurate timetables and routes, powering location-based features you've explicitly opted into, and resolving issues you report. We do not sell this information, use it for advertising, build advertising profiles from it, or share it with third parties except the service providers listed in Section 3, each of which processes it only to help deliver the App's features.

3. Location Data in Detail

Location access is entirely optional and only requested when you use a feature that needs it. Depending on what you use, the App may ask for "While Using the App" or "Always" (background) location access:

• Nearest stop / map position — uses your current location only while the App is open.
• Tracking a stop ("bell" notification) — uses background location to detect when you've physically arrived near a stop you've chosen to be notified about, even while the App is closed. This requires "Allow all the time" location permission. Monitoring stops automatically once you arrive or turn it off yourself.
• Live trip tracking — while you have an active trip being tracked, the App uses your location to estimate your progress, next stop, and arrival time. This runs only while a tracking session is active and stops when the trip ends or you cancel it.

We do not build a location history, do not use location data for advertising, and do not sell it to anyone. Location data is processed to deliver the feature you asked for and is not retained beyond what's needed to do that.

4. Third-Party Services

The App and its features rely on the following services, each governed by its own privacy policy:

• Supabase: our backend database. It processes your search queries and any issue reports you submit so the App can return timetable, route, and stop data.
• NAP.si (Slovenia's National Access Point): the official source of intercity bus and train GTFS schedule data used by the App.
• LPP (Ljubljana Passenger Transport): provides real-time bus arrival and delay data via its public API, queried directly by the App.
• Flix (FlixBus/FlixTrain): publishes a public GTFS schedule feed for its international coach network, from which we ingest only the trips that touch Slovenia into our backend, so the App can show those connections alongside domestic ones.
• Google Maps (Android only): renders the in-App map and may process your approximate location to show your position on it.
• Apple StoreKit (iOS): facilitates in-App purchases and subscriptions. All payment and billing information is handled exclusively by Apple.
• Google Play Billing (Android): facilitates in-App purchases and subscriptions. All payment and billing information is handled exclusively by Google.
• Firebase Hosting: used only to host this website (slo-motion.site) — it is not used by the App itself and does not process any App user data.

5. Subscription Information

If you purchase premium features, the transaction and your subscription status are handled entirely by Apple (iOS, via StoreKit) or Google (Android, via Google Play Billing), depending on your platform. The App checks your subscription status directly with Apple's or Google's own systems on your device — we do not operate a server that receives or stores any payment, billing, or subscription-status information. All such data remains exclusively with Apple or Google.

6. Data Retention

Since the App has no accounts, we have no way to link stored data to your identity. Search queries and location data used for the features above are processed to deliver that feature and are not retained as a history afterward. If you submit an issue report, we keep its content only as long as needed to investigate and resolve it.

7. Security

All communication between the App and our backend uses encrypted (HTTPS/TLS) connections. Because the App has no accounts or passwords, there is no login credential of yours that could be exposed. We take reasonable measures to protect the limited data described above, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

As with any online service, our backend and hosting providers automatically record standard technical information as part of normal server operation (for example, your IP address and request timestamps) for security and reliability purposes. This is not used to identify you personally. Because our service providers may operate infrastructure outside your own country, your information may be processed outside the country or region where you live; where this involves a transfer out of the EU/EEA, our providers are responsible for ensuring appropriate safeguards are in place.

8. Your Rights

If you are located in the EU/EEA or another jurisdiction with data protection rights, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of any personal information you've voluntarily provided to us (for example, the text of an issue report). Since the App keeps no account or persistent identifier tying data to you, most requests can only be honored for content you can identify to us directly (e.g. the approximate time and content of a report you submitted). Contact us using the details in Section 12 to make a request.

The Service Provider, as the developer of the Application, is the data controller for the information described in this Policy. If you believe your rights have not been respected, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority — in Slovenia, this is the Information Commissioner (Informacijski pooblaščenec).

9. Children

The Application is not used to knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13.

The Service Provider does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. The Service Provider encourages all children to never submit any personally identifiable information through the Application and/or Services. The Service Provider encourages parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and to help enforce this Policy by instructing their children never to provide personally identifiable information through the Application and/or Services without their permission. If you have reason to believe that a child has provided personally identifiable information to the Service Provider through the Application and/or Services, please contact the Service Provider (slomotionapp@gmail.com) so that they will be able to take the necessary actions. You must also be at least 16 years of age to consent to the processing of your personally identifiable information in your country (in some countries we may allow your parent or guardian to do so on your behalf).

10. Your Consent

By using the Application, you are consenting to the processing of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy now and as amended by the Service Provider.

11. Changes

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time for any reason. The Service Provider will notify you of any changes to their Privacy Policy by updating this page with the new Privacy Policy. You are advised to consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes, as continued use is deemed approval of all changes.

This privacy policy is effective as of 2026-09-07.
