StationWatch Privacy Policy

Waving Cat Apps Ltd. takes user privacy very seriously. And by writing this detailed privacy policy for StationWatch in plain English, you'll hopefully feel reassured by this.

Long story short, Waving Cat Apps Ltd. does not knowingly store any user locations, station requests, favourite stations or any potentially identifiable information used by StationWatch. With the exception of those built into Apple's operating systems, StationWatch uses no analytics or tracking frameworks.

StationWatch primarily fetches its departure board data from the National Rail Public Darwin API. Its station information is based on a snapshot of the National Rail KnowledgeBase.

Waving Cat Apps Ltd. does process departure board data on an Amazon Web Services (AWS) instance hosted in London, United Kingdom. The purpose of this data processing is to transform the departure board data from SOAP into a more modern format (specifically GraphQL). We do not knowingly store any request or response details on this AWS instance.

StationWatch does not transmit user location details outside of the watch. The location data is only used to query our local snapshot of station information. StationWatch also only stores favourite & recent stations locally on the watch via Apple's standard User Defaults mechanism, and this can be easily demonstrated by deleting & reinstalling StationWatch (warning - you will lose your favourites & recent stations if you do this). This mechanism is not encrypted but is not transmitted at all either.

At a later date, this may be switched to using iCloud Data Storage should StationWatch be ported to other Apple operating systems for the convenience of having the same favourites & recent stations shown across all of your devices. We will let you know if and when this happens via the relevant app store update.
