Frequently asked questions

Last updated: 10 July 2026

Does Bus Visor track me in the background?

No. Bus Visor injects mock location only while you actively run a simulation. There is no hidden background tracking, no analytics SDK, and no advertising profile.

Is Bus Visor spyware?

No. Bus Visor uses Android's official Mock Location developer capability for software testing, demonstrations, and QA. You must enable it in Developer options and press Play to start simulation.

Does Bus Visor upload my saved routes?

Not by default. Saved routes stay on your device. Routes are sent over the network only when you use optional features (bus-stop lookup or voice routing), or when you explicitly export and share a GPX file yourself.

Do I need an account?

No. Core features work without registration or login in v1.0.0.

Does Bus Visor show ads?

No. v1.0.0 contains no advertising SDKs and does not sell your data.

What data goes to Google?

Map display and routing use Google Maps SDK, Google Routes API, and Google Places API. See Third-party services and Google's privacy policy.

How do I delete my data?

Delete saved routes in the app, revoke permissions in Android Settings, or uninstall Bus Visor. Email privacy@busvisor.com for additional requests.
