Third-Party Data Sharing

• Firebase Analytics - usage and behavioral data
• Firebase Messaging - push notification delivery
• Firebase Remote Config - app configuration data
• Firebase Performance - app performance metrics

Understanding the Scores

Positive Security Features

The app integrates established third-party platforms, including Firebase and Mapbox, which maintain their own published security standards. No additional app-level security enhancements were identified in this version.

Areas for Improvement

• User location is tracked in the background at all times. The app should offer clear consent controls and the ability to limit background tracking without losing access to core journey-planning features.
• User rights to access or delete personal data are not surfaced within the app. A clear, in-app path to request data removal would give users meaningful control over what is stored about them.
• Data sent between the app and external services travels with less protection than expected, which may affect users on public or shared networks.

About This Analysis

Scores are generated by automated static analysis of the app's compiled code and configuration files. They reflect the state of the app at the time of the scan and may not capture server-side practices or runtime behavior.
