Privacy Policy

Last updated February 2026

nexttrain is a train departure board app that shows live UK rail departures. Your privacy matters — this app is designed to collect as little data as possible.

Data Collection

nexttrain does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

  • No account required — there is no sign-up or login
  • No analytics or tracking — no usage data is sent to any server
  • No advertising — no ad networks or data brokers
  • No location data — station selection is manual, not GPS-based

Data Stored on Your Device

The app stores your selected route and a temporary cache of recent departure times locally on your device. This data never leaves your device and is deleted when you uninstall the app.

Third-Party Services

The app fetches live departure data from the National Rail Enquiries API. These requests contain only station codes — no personal information is included.

Children's Privacy

nexttrain does not collect data from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new date.
