We built Shuttler to be simple and transparent. This policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it. We do not sell your personal data.
1. Who We Are
Tebet LLC ("Shuttler," "we," "us," or "our") is a Wyoming limited liability company operating the Shuttler mobile application and website at shuttler.net. We are the data controller for personal information collected through the Service.
For privacy inquiries, contact us at brenotebet@live.com.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
Information you provide directly:
- Account registration details: first name, last name, email address, and phone number
- Organization details: organization name, authentication method, and stop configurations
- Payment information: processed securely through Stripe. We do not store full card numbers
- Communications: messages or emails you send to us
Information collected automatically:
- Location data: drivers share real time location while actively on a shift. Riders may share location to view nearby stops
- Usage data: pages visited, features used, buttons tapped, and time spent in the app
- Device information: device type, operating system, app version, and unique device identifiers
- Log data: IP address, browser type, referring pages, and timestamps
Information from third parties:
- If your organization uses Single Sign On (SSO), we receive your name and email address from your identity provider
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and improve the Shuttler Service
- Display real time shuttle locations to riders
- Notify drivers of active stop requests
- Generate ridership analytics and operational reports for organization administrators
- Process payments and manage subscriptions
- Send transactional emails such as account verification and password resets
- Respond to support requests and inquiries
- Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents
- Comply with legal obligations
4. Location Data
Location data is central to how Shuttler works. Here is exactly how we handle it:
- Drivers: Location is shared continuously while a shift is active. Location sharing stops when the driver taps "Stop Sharing" or closes the app
- Riders: Location is accessed only when the rider opens the map view. We do not track rider location in the background
- Location data is stored in Firebase Realtime Database and used solely to power live tracking features
- Historical location data is not retained beyond what is needed for operational reporting
5. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in the following circumstances:
- Within your organization: Riders can see live bus locations. Administrators can see ridership data and driver activity for their organization only
- Service providers: We use trusted third party services to operate the platform, including Firebase (database and authentication), Stripe (payments), and Resend (email delivery). These providers process data only as directed by us
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the safety of users or the public
- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at brenotebet@live.com.
Some information may be retained for longer periods where required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention.
7. Data Security
We implement industry standard security measures to protect your information, including:
- Encrypted data transmission using HTTPS
- Firebase Security Rules restricting data access by authenticated role
- Server side authentication with scoped API credentials
- Regular review of access permissions and security configurations
No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account.
8. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
