Overview

UTA Tracker is a free transit tracking tool. We collect minimal data and do not require any account or sign-in. This policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, and your choices.

1. Information We Collect

Analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics (Measurement ID: G-S53GWT4630) to understand aggregate usage patterns — which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and what devices and browsers are used. Google Analytics collects:

Pages visited and navigation paths
Session duration and engagement events
Approximate geographic region (city/country level)
Device type, browser, and operating system
Referrer URL

This data is processed by Google under their Privacy Policy. We use this data only in aggregate form to improve the Service.

Browser Local Storage

The interactive map stores your last viewed position (map center and zoom level) and any selected filters locally in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear it at any time through your browser's site data settings.

Server Access Logs

Like any web server, our hosting infrastructure records standard access logs (IP address, request path, timestamp, HTTP status code). These logs are retained for up to 14 days for security and operational purposes and are not used for profiling or advertising.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

No accounts or user profiles — the Service has no sign-in
No payment information
No precise location data (we never request GPS access)
No contact information unless you email us directly
No tracking cookies beyond what Google Analytics sets

3. Transit Data

Real-time transit information (vehicle positions, arrivals, alerts) is fetched from UTA's public GTFS-Realtime API and relayed to your browser. We do not log or store your individual transit queries.

4. ChatGPT / MCP Integration

UTA Tracker is available as a ChatGPT app via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). When you use UTA Tracker through ChatGPT, queries are routed through our MCP server at utatracker.com. We do not log the content of individual tool calls. Your interactions with ChatGPT are governed by OpenAI's Privacy Policy.

5. Third-Party Map Tiles

Map tiles are served by OpenFreeMap (interactive map) and fetched server-side from OpenFreeMap for map snapshot images. Your browser may make direct requests to OpenFreeMap tile servers, which may log your IP address.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for commercial purposes. Data may be disclosed if required by law or to protect the security of the Service.

7. Your Choices

Google Analytics opt-out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
Local storage: Clear site data in your browser settings at any time
Do Not Track: We respect the DNT browser signal where technically feasible

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
