Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect both information you voluntarily provide to us and information that is automatically collected when you navigate the site.

• Information You Provide: When you use our contact forms, submit a route correction, or email us directly, we may collect personal details such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
• Information Collected Automatically: We automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit the site. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the dates/times of your visits.

2. Contact Forms and User-Submitted Route Corrections

When you reach out to us via our contact forms or submit a route update, the information you provide (such as your email address) is used strictly to communicate with you regarding your submission.

Route Corrections: We manually review all user-submitted updates. Your contact information allows our editorial team to reach out if we need to verify the details of the transport schedule you submitted. We do not publish your personal information alongside route updates.

3. Cookies and Web Beacons

Government Bus Timings uses “cookies” (small text files placed on your device) to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies help us understand how users interact with our site, remember your preferences, and serve relevant content.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline them if you prefer. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain parts of our website.

4. Analytics Services

We use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to measure website traffic and usage trends. These services collect technical and usage data via cookies. The information gathered is anonymized and aggregated, allowing us to understand which bus routes are most frequently searched, monitor site performance, and improve our platform’s overall user experience.

5. Advertising Partners

To keep Government Bus Timings free for the public, we may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website.

These companies may use cookies and web beacons to collect non-personal information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Our advertising partners may include Google AdSense. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the respective ad network’s opt-out pages or your Google Ad Settings.

6. Third-Party Services and Links

Our website may contain links to external sites, such as official state transport portals or ticketing platforms. We are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of these third-party websites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of any external site you visit.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information collected via contact forms and route submissions only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected (e.g., verifying a schedule update or resolving a user inquiry). Once the information is no longer needed, it is securely deleted from our records.

8. Your User Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete data.
