Privacy Policy for Calling Point

Effective Date: June 16, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Calling Point ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use our mobile application. Our core philosophy is that your commute is your business. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a transparent, secure experience.

1. Information Collection and Use

We do not collect, store, or share any personal data.

Calling Point does not require you to create an account, log in, or provide any personal information to use the app. We do not use any hidden tracking software, analytics frameworks, or advertising SDKs to monitor your behavior or device usage.

2. Train Queries and External APIs

To provide you with live departure boards and journey information, Calling Point communicates directly with the National Rail API.

• Search Requests: When you search for a station or track a specific route, that request is sent over a secure connection to retrieve the necessary data.
• No Tracking: These requests are processed ephemerally in real-time. We do not store your search history, location, or favorite routes on any external servers. Any saved preferences (such as pinned operators or favorite journeys) are stored locally and securely on your own device.

3. Financial Data and In-App Purchases

Calling Point is a free application that includes an optional "Buy Me a Coffee" tip feature.

• All transactions are processed entirely through Google Play Billing.
• At no point does the Calling Point app collect, intercept, or store your credit card information, bank details, or personal billing address.
• We only receive an anonymous confirmation from Google Play that a purchase was successful so we can unlock features or display a thank-you message.

4. Third-Party Services

While we do not collect data, the app utilizes essential services provided by Google to function and process optional payments. These third-party services have their own privacy policies governing their use of data:

• Google Play Services: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Google Play Billing: https://policies.google.com/privacy

5. Children's Privacy

Because we do not collect any personal information from any users, we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes to how the app operates, we will update the Effective Date at the top of this policy. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes.
