Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 15, 2026

This privacy policy explains how Viamo handles your data. The short version: we do not collect, store, or share any personal data.

1. Information We Access

Viamo accesses the following information solely to provide its core functionality. None of this data leaves your device or is sent to our servers.

Device Location

Viamo may request access to your device's location to provide location-based features.

  • Location is accessed only while the app is in use ("When In Use" permission).
  • Your location is used to show nearby stops and to set your current position as a journey starting point.
  • Location data is never stored, logged, or transmitted to any server controlled by Viamo.

On-Device Storage

Viamo stores the following data locally on your device using AsyncStorage:

  • Your preferred language setting (Estonian or English).
  • Favorite routes and saved stops for quick access.
  • Cached search results for improved performance.

2. Third-Party Services

To provide transit information, Viamo communicates with the following public APIs:

  • peatus.ee — Public transit data API operated by the Republic of Estonia, used for journey planning and stop search. No authentication or personal data is required.
  • transport.tallinn.ee — Public API operated by the City of Tallinn, used for real-time departure data and vehicle GPS positions. No authentication or personal data is required.
  • Apple MapKit — Apple's MapKit framework (MKLocalSearch) is used on-device for address and place search. Search queries are processed by Apple according to Apple's Privacy Policy.

Viamo does not send any personal identifiers, accounts, or tracking data to these services. Only the search queries and route parameters necessary to fulfill your request are transmitted.

3. Data We Do NOT Collect

Viamo is built with a privacy-first approach. We do not:

  • Collect, store, or process any personal data on external servers.
  • Require user accounts, registration, or sign-in.
  • Use analytics, tracking, or advertising frameworks of any kind.
  • Use cookies or browser-based tracking technologies.
  • Create user profiles or collect usage statistics.

4. Data Sharing

Viamo does not share, sell, rent, or disclose any user data to third parties. Since we do not collect personal data, there is nothing to share.

5. Data Retention

All data stored by Viamo resides exclusively on your device. You can clear this data at any time by clearing the app's storage in your device settings or by deleting the app. We do not maintain any external databases containing user information.

6. Children's Privacy

Viamo does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 16. The app is safe to use for users of all ages.

7. Your Rights Under GDPR

Under the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
  • Restrict or object to processing of your personal data.
  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Since Viamo does not collect or store any personal data on external servers, these rights are effectively fulfilled by design. All data is under your control on your own device.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
