PRIVACY POLICY
PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY, AND ACCEPTANCE - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Advance Transit, Inc. (“AT”, us”, "we" or
"our") is committed to protecting the privacy of the users (“user”,
"you" or "your") of our free application and the related
services (collectively, the Service”). Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist
you in understanding how we collect, use, share, safeguard, and dispose of the
information you provide to us and in making informed decisions when using the
Service. This Privacy Policy applies to the Service and governs data collection
and usage of the Service. By accessing and/or using the Service, including all
content, software, functions, services, materials and information made
available on or accessed through the Service, you acknowledge that you have
read, understood and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. Any information
provided by or through the Service will be treated in accordance with this

about you in the manner and for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.
Please read it in its entirety.
WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We may track and collect information from your mobile phone
or other device used to access the Service, as well as related software, when
you use the Service. This information may include: (i)
your location, (ii) location demographics (language, country of origin, etc.),
(iii) domain server, and (iv) device information (type of device, identifier,
etc.) (all such information, collectively, "Traffic Data"). Traffic
Data is anonymous information that does not personally identify you. Traffic
Data assists us to design and arrange our Service in the user-friendliest
manner and to continually improve our Service to better meet the needs of
users.
In order for you to access certain portions of our Service,
and if you communicate with us by e-mail or telephone, we may require you to
provide us with information that personally identifies you, such as your name,
mailing address, e-mail address and home and/or business telephone numbers
("Personal Information") which may be retained and used by us as
described in this Privacy Policy.
The Service uses your current location to display a map and
other data associated with your current position. You may turn off location
services within your device to prevent the Service from accessing your current
location. You may choose not to provide us with any Personal Information. In
such an event, you can still access and use portions of the Service.
The Service uses third party services that may collect
information used to identify you, including Personal Information. You may find

providers used by the Service at the following links:

We collect information about you in the following ways.
We collect information about you through the information you

We use Mixpanel (or similar web
traffic analytic tools) to help analyze how users use the Service and to
optimize our Service based on that data. Such tools generate data about your
use of the Service, which is transmitted to Mixpanel
(or other analytics provider). This information is then used to evaluate users'
use of the Service and to compile statistical reports on web site activity for
us. A link to Mixpanel’s privacy policy can be found
above, under the heading “What Information We Collect.”
In addition, we use Google Play Services to identify your
geographic location when using the Service, and to provide other relevant

WHAT WE DO WITH INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, or any

Information to (a) to verify the information you provided to us; (b) to provide
you with the information that you have requested; (c) to respond to your

We may share your Personal Information with third parties
that provide services to us (including handling and delivering of e-mail
communications and user-submitted information processing and/or storage) as
reasonably necessary for them to provide those services.
We may use Traffic Data to analyze trends, administer the
Service, track users’ movements, and gather broad demographic information for
aggregate use. We may provide Traffic Data and/or other aggregate
non-personally identifying information to third parties.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, we may transfer, sell
or assign information concerning the Service and your use of the Service,
including without limitation, Personal Information, to third parties, as a
result of the sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of
substantial assets, or reorganization or liquidation of us.
WHAT WE DO NOT DO WITH INFORMATION WE COLLECT

parties for their direct marketing purposes.
HOW WE PROTECT INFORMATION WE COLLECT
The Service has security measures in place intended to
protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our
control. We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to
safeguard against unauthorized access or disclosure, and accidental loss or
alteration, of the Personal Information we collect. Though we strive to protect
your Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any
information you transmit to us or from our Service, and you do so at your own
risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make reasonable efforts to ensure security
on our systems.
In the event that there is ever a breach of security
regarding your Personal Information, we intend to comply with applicable state
and federal law requirements regarding notification and disclosure to you and
to the appropriate authorities of the circumstances surrounding the breach.
