Last updated: October 14, 2026.

Controller/contact

Faro Labs is responsible for the Bus Barcelona Metro Rodalies app for Android and iOS, identified as com.farolabs.busbarcelonametrorodaliestram. This policy explains data processing associated with its features and integrated services, including those used during pre-launch testing.

Privacy contact: teamfarolabs@gmail.com. Support: hellofarolabs@gmail.com.

Data the app may process

Bus Barcelona Metro Rodalies is an independent app for checking public transport in the Barcelona area. Depending on the features you use, the app may process:

• Approximate or precise location, if you grant permission, to show nearby stops, stations or services.
• Queries for lines, stops, stations, arrivals, alerts or connected services.
• Favorites, preferences, language, theme and text-size settings stored on your device.
• Technical usage, diagnostic and crash data to improve stability and performance.
• Advertising and consent data when ads are shown through compatible providers.

The app does not require an account, does not sell personal data and is not designed to collect sensitive information.

Location and connected services

You can browse the line, stop and station catalogue without granting location access. If you allow it, location helps center the map and show nearby services. Route requests that use your position as an origin or destination may send the necessary coordinates to the selected journey-planning or navigation provider.

Arrivals, alerts, maps and Bicing availability require connectivity. Providers receive the parameters needed to respond and technical connection data, such as your IP address. Rodalies browsing uses a local catalogue; live tracking of its trains is not provided.

Purposes

We use data to show transport information, maps and nearby services, remember local preferences, improve app stability, measure aggregated usage and manage advertising where applicable.

Third parties and sources

The app uses a local catalogue based on TMB, AMB, FGC, TRAM, CGIM/T-mobilitat and Bicing sources. Live data depends on each provider and connectivity. Opening external maps or navigation also involves the selected service's terms.

Firebase Analytics may process installation or device identifiers and feature-usage events. Firebase Crashlytics may process crash reports, app version, operating system and technical diagnostic data. Google AdMob and User Messaging Platform (UMP) may process advertising identifiers, ad interactions, technical data and consent choices depending on the configuration and applicable permissions.

Provider information:

• Google privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Firebase privacy and security: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
• How Google uses data from third-party apps: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Advertising and consent

The app may show ads. Where applicable, UMP presents consent choices before advertising requests. Location permission and advertising preferences are separate choices. You can review permissions and advertising privacy options available on your device. For questions about consent or data processed by the app, use the privacy contact.

Retention

Favorites and preferences remain on your device until you remove them or clear the app's data. Restoring a system backup may restore preferences. Technical or advertising data managed by third parties is retained according to the service configuration and its policies; removing the app does not automatically delete data already sent to those providers.

Your choices

You can revoke permissions in system settings and remove local app data. You can contact Faro Labs to request information, access, correction or deletion of personal data, or raise other privacy requests that apply to your situation. Describe the app, platform and request; do not send payment details or passwords. If we do not retain information that lets us identify your data, we will explain that limitation.

Policy changes

This page will be updated when features or services that process data change. The update date appears at the top. This policy URL remains stable for the apps and their store listings.

Independence notice

Bus Barcelona Metro Rodalies is not affiliated with or endorsed by TMB, Rodalies, TRAM, AMB, FGC, Bicing, public authorities or transport operators.
