Privacy Policy

The San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (“BART”, “we”, “us”, and “our”), is a public transit agency that operates system serving the San Francisco Bay Area in California. This privacy policy (the “Policy”) describes the types of information that BART may collect from you or that you may provide to us in connection with your access and use of the BART Mobile App (the “App”) also referred to herein as the “Service.”

By accessing or using the Service, you are consenting to the collection, storage, transfer, manipulation, disclosure, and other uses of your information as set forth in this Policy. You should read this Policy carefully. If you do not consent to the uses of your information as described in this Policy, you must not access or use the Service.

What Information Do We Collect?

Account Information: When you create an account on the Service, you will be asked to provide us certain contact information, including your name, zip code, email address, mobile number, and password. You may also provide us with additional preference information, like favorite station or address you regularly travel to or from, and demographic information.

Interacting with BART: We may collect information through your interactions with BART. For example, when you contact BART by email, we may collect your email address and any other information you provide.

Using the Service: BART may collect certain information automatically when you use the Service. For example, by using the Service and consenting to geolocation services, your device’s geolocation information may be collected so we can alert you when your transportation service is arriving if you use our trip planner feature. Geolocation information is encrypted and generally not subject to public records requests. We also receive the internet protocol (IP) address of your computer, Mobile Device, or the proxy server or router that you use to access the internet, operating system details, type of web browser, mobile device details (including your mobile device identifier provided by your mobile device operating system).

Aggregate, Non-Personal Information: BART collects certain aggregate information, including statistical information about how users access and interact with the Service (e.g., which Service features are most accessed, which bus and rail lines are most used, which technical issues affect our users, etc.). This information cannot be used to identify you individually, though we may link this information to your BART profile. This Policy does not limit how BART may use aggregate or non-personal information.

Information Collected through Tracking Technologies: We use various technologies to collect information from your device and about your use of the Service:

  • Device IDs: If you're using our App, we use Advertising IDs to identify unique installations and gather certain aggregate usage information about the numbers and frequency of visitors to the Service and how they interact with the Service. This data helps us improve the appearance and usability of the Services.
     
  • Pixel tags: We may embed pixel tags (also called web beacons or clear GIFs) in apps, on web pages, ads, and in emails. These tiny, invisible graphics are used to access cookies and track user activities (such as how many times a page is viewed). We use pixel tags to measure the popularity of our features and Service.

Do Not Track: Your browser or device may allow you to adjust your settings so that “do not track” requests are sent to the websites that you visit or Service that you access. However, because an industry-standard protocol for “do not track” signals has not yet been established, we do not disable tracking technology that may be active on the Service in response to any “do not track” requests that we receive from your browser or device.

Information Collected by Third-Parties: The Service may include links to other websites and social media sites and other content from third-party businesses. These third-parties may use tracking technologies to track the actions of users within the Service, and across different web sites or platforms to deliver targeted electronic advertisements to an individual user. Device and usage information will also be shared with Google Analytics (Google, LLC) and Crashlytics (Fabric, a Google company) for analytics and crash reporting. Location and mapping data will also be shared with Google Maps (Google, LLC) for trip planning and wayfinding purposes.

How Do We Use Your Information?

Consent to BART: By providing information to BART when you create or update your account and interact with the Service, you are expressly agreeing to our use and processing of your information as set out by this Policy. You can withdraw or modify your consent to our continued collection of your information by closing your account and/or by deleting the Service from your device(s). BART will retain previously collected data in accordance with its data retention policies and applicable laws.

Providing, Developing and Customizing the Service: BART uses your information to provide, maintain, protect, and improve the Service. For example, if you sign up for an electronic newsletter, we use your name and email address to send you the newsletter. If you use our trip planning feature, we may use your location information. We may also use your information to improve features of the Service, such as when you provide feedback to BART customer service agents. We also use this information to track potential problems and trends and to customize our support responses to better serve you. We do not share information provided during customer service interactions for third-party advertising purposes without your permission.

BART may combine information you provide through different interactions with BART and BART’s service providers in order to provide a more customized and relevant experience. For example, if you contact us from an email address we have on file, we will make a note of that communication in your customer profile.

When you register for the Service, BART uses your identifying information to set up your account. BART also uses information to enforce and protect its rights, including in connection with electronic citation processing.

What Information Do We Share With Third Parties?

Service Providers and Transportation Partners: BART may share information with its current and future service providers and transportation partners that assist BART in providing, improving, and marketing the Service. For example, BART may use a third party developer to develop and host the App, or engage companies to provide analytics, or assist in protecting and securing our systems and Service, and those companies may need access to your information in order to provide those functions. BART may also share your information with transportation partners to provide you with a service you requested through a partnership or promotional offering made by a third party or us. These third parties have limited access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf.

Aggregate Information: We may share aggregated and anonymous information based on information collected from the Service with the public, our partners, and with our users and customers. For example, we may publish information about general trends related to the use of the Service or share that information with a partner to help them provide or improve their products and services. This information does not identify you and we require our partners to keep all such information in its anonymous form.

Legal Disclosure and Business Transfers: We may disclose any information we collect without notice or consent from you, if we believe in good faith that the disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and property, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud or other crimes, or respond to lawful government requests. In such instances, we will limit disclosure to that information which is necessary to accomplish the above purposes. We’ll attempt to notify you about legal demands for your information when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We also reserve the right to disclose or transfer the information we collect to another agency or government entity in connection with a reorganization, dissolution, or similar event (a “Change in Business”). We will endeavor to provide you with notice (via a posting to the Service or such other method that we deem appropriate) of any such Change in Business. This Policy will apply to your information as transferred to the new entity through a Change in Business.

Public Records Laws: BART is a public agency and is subject to public records laws, including the California Public Records Act. Information that you provide or that we collect from you may be subject to disclosure pursuant to public records laws, unless the information is otherwise exempted from disclosure by law. You should not provide personal information if you are concerned about disclosure of your information under those laws.

Communications Preferences

Communications from BART: We communicate with you through email, notices posted through the Service, and other means available through the Service, including mobile text messages and push notifications. Examples of these communications include:

  • Initial communications: Informing you how to use the Service, including any new features of the Service.
  • Service communications: Alerting you about the availability of the Service and transit systems, confirming purchases, and providing information about other issues related to the Service. You cannot opt out of receiving service messages from us.
  • Promotional communications: Sharing information about BART’s products and services.
  • Response communications: Responding to an inquiry by you, either through the Service, social media, or other channels.

You can opt out of receiving certain email communications from us by contacting us at [email protected] or following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the message we send to you. If you opt out, we may still send you non-marketing communications including emails about the Service and our business dealings with you.

Security

We endeavor to safeguard personal information to ensure that such information is kept private. However, the inherent insecurity of the Internet and other factors may compromise the security of your personal information at any time. Therefore we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

Accessing Your Information

Certain personal information, such as your Account Information, can be reviewed, updated, or deleted through the controls available within your account. The right to access and delete personal information may be limited in some circumstances by law and we may ask you to verify your identity before we act upon your request. Additionally, we may reject requests that require disproportionate technical effort or that would risk the privacy of others. Please note that due to the way we maintain our servers, after your information is deleted, backup or residual copies may exist for some time before they are completely deleted from our servers.

You also may close your account at any time by deleting the App, contacting us at [email protected]. If you contact us to close your account, we will retain certain information associated with your account for analytical purposes and recordkeeping integrity, as well as to prevent fraud, take actions we deem necessary to protect the integrity of the Service or our users, or take other actions otherwise permitted by law. In addition, if certain information has already been provided to third parties as described in this Policy, retention of that information will be subject to those third parties' policies.

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from persons under the age of 13. If you are a parent or legal guardian who discovers that your child has provided us with any personal information, you may contact us at any time at [email protected], and we will endeavor to promptly delete such information from our files and records.

Using the Service from Outside the United States

BART provides local transit services in the San Francisco Bay Area Metro. The Service is not intended for users based outside the United States. If you are located outside of the United States and you choose to use the Service or provide your information to us, your information may be transferred to, processed, and maintained on servers or databases located in the United States, or any other country in which we, or our affiliates, service providers, or other third parties maintain facilities. By accessing or using the Service, or by providing personal data through the Service, you consent to the transfer and processing of your information in the United States subject to United States law. If you do not want your information transferred to or processed or maintained in the United States, you must not use the Service.

Third Party Links, Sites and Services

This Policy applies only to the Service. It does not apply to any third party sites, services and/or applications that may be linked to, facilitated through, or provided via the Service. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party site, service, or application including their use of any cookies and/or collection of any personal information. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Service, and to read the privacy policy of each third party site, service, or application that you visit.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We will occasionally update this Policy to reflect changes in the law, our data collection and use practices, the features of the Service, or advances in technology. When we post changes to this Policy, we will revise the "last updated" date at the bottom of this Policy. We will notify you of such changes by posting the updated Policy on the Service and if the changes are significant we may seek to notify you via email or otherwise. When we post changes to this Policy, we will indicate when such changes will become effective. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of such changes constitutes your consent to the amended Policy.
