Privacy
Only what Melboard needs.
Your data
Melboard does not require an account, display advertising or sell personal information. It does not include a separate advertising or analytics SDK. On Android, Google Maps and Firebase Cloud Messaging process technical information needed to provide maps and deliver Live Updates, as described below.
Saved information
On Apple devices, your saved stops, stations and cached departure information are stored on your devices and shared only among Melboard, its iPhone and Apple Watch widgets, and the paired Apple Watch app. On Android, saved stops and stations, preferences and cached transport information are stored on your device and shared with Melboard's Android widget where needed.
Location
Location access is optional. Melboard uses it for Nearby and, on Android, location-enabled map features. Your current location is sent securely to Melboard's transport-data service to return nearby departures. Melboard does not retain it as location history. Google's processing for Android maps is described below.
Android maps
The optional Android map uses Google Maps. Google processes information needed to provide the map, including location and technical information such as IP addresses, device and SDK details, identifiers, diagnostics and map interactions. See Google's privacy policy for details.
Transport information
Search and departure requests are sent to Melboard’s transport-data service, which retrieves the Transport Victoria information needed to answer them.
Service access
Melboard creates a random installation credential to protect the service and limit abuse. It is not a customer account and contains no personal details.
Live Activities
When you start a Live Activity, the selected departure and a temporary Apple push token are stored by Melboard’s service so it can send updates while the app is closed. They are removed after the Live Activity ends.
Android Live Updates
When you start a Live Update on Android, the selected departure, a tracking-session identifier and a Firebase push token are sent securely to Melboard's service so it can send updates while the app is closed. Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging processes installation identifiers and technical information to deliver these updates. Stopping tracking clears the active session on your device and requests removal from Melboard's service. If you are offline, that request is retried when a connection is available.
Contact
If you email for support, the information you provide is used to respond to your enquiry. You can request deletion of that correspondence at any time.
