Privacy Policy

Information EZ NYC uses

Location. If you choose “Current Location,” EZ NYC uses your location to identify nearby subway stations and plan the beginning of your trip. Location access is optional and is requested through iOS. EZ NYC does not maintain a history of your precise location.

Searches and route selections. Station searches and route selections are used to provide the features you request. Street address and place suggestions are processed using Apple’s MapKit services and are subject to Apple’s privacy practices.

Preferences stored on your device. Favorite subway lines, Home and Work stations, notification settings, and downloaded-map status are stored locally on your device using Apple platform storage.

Transit and map data

EZ NYC retrieves subway schedules, arrivals, and service-alert information from public MTA data services. Network requests may expose standard technical information, such as an IP address, to the service operator as part of normal internet communication.

If you download the subway map, the app obtains the map from the MTA website and stores a copy on your device for offline viewing.

Notifications

If you enable notifications, iOS grants EZ NYC a device notification token. The token is used only to deliver service alerts for lines you have favorited, according to the days and times you select.

Notification permission can be disabled in iOS Settings. Favorite-line alerts and their schedule can also be changed inside EZ NYC.

Information we do not collect

EZ NYC does not require an account and does not collect your name, contacts, payment information, or advertising identifier. We do not sell personal information and do not use third-party advertising trackers.

Data retention and deletion

Locally saved preferences remain on your device until you change them, clear them in the app, or delete the app. If production push notifications are enabled, the notification service retains the device token and selected favorite lines only while needed to provide alerts. Disabling notifications or deleting the app ends future use of that token.

Children’s privacy

EZ NYC is a general-audience transit utility. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Security

EZ NYC uses encrypted HTTPS connections when communicating with supported data services. No method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as EZ NYC evolves. The effective date at the top of this page will identify the latest version. Material changes will be reflected here before they take effect.
