What data we process and why
The site has no user accounts and no forms. We process the data your browser sends each time it opens a page and, with your consent, visit statistics.
| Purpose | Data | Legal basis | Retention period |
|---|---|---|---|
| Running the site, keeping it secure and fixing faults | IP address, browser type, the address of the page opened and the time of the request (server logs) | Article 6(1)(e) GDPR (passenger information as a task in the public interest laid down in the law on public transport), or point (f) (legitimate interest) for an operator that is not a public body | At most 14 days, after which the logs are deleted automatically. |
| Answering requests, complaints and questions sent by e-mail or made by phone | The details you give in your message: name, e-mail address or phone number, and the content | Article 6(1)(c) GDPR in connection with Article 18 of the Act on digital accessibility (requests for accessibility), and for other matters the same basis as for server logs | Until we answer, and then for the period required by the controller’s rules on keeping records |
| Visit statistics (Google Analytics 4): which pages and features are used, so we can improve the site | A pseudonymous identifier from a cookie, pages visited and features used (e.g. changing the language, opening a stop, adding a favourite; never the text typed into search), device and browser type, approximate location (country, region, city) derived from the IP address. Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses. | Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Article 399 of the Polish Electronic Communications Law (consent given in the “Visit statistics” banner). You can withdraw your consent at any time. | Up to 14 months in Google Analytics; Google Analytics cookies expire 2 years after your last visit |
Giving your data is voluntary. Without the data your browser sends when it opens a page, the page cannot be shown, and without contact details we cannot answer your message.
The text you type into the search on city pages never leaves your device: the list of stops and lines is filtered in your browser. The exception is setting up a stop display board, where the text you type is sent to the server to find the stop. We never send your coordinates. To show the lines of stops “Nearby”, the server receives the list of stops in an area of about 5 × 5 km around you; this list shows roughly where you are. When you use the location button on the map, the server receives the numbers of the map squares (about 1 km) it needs to load, just as when you move the map.
Browser storage and cookies
The site saves in your browser storage (localStorage) the settings and favourites you choose and, when you visit, the language and the cities you recently visited. The map legend only remembers whether you opened or closed it. This storage stays on your device. We send the numbers of your favourite stops only to fetch their departures. Your answer to the visit statistics question is kept there too, and Google Analytics cookies are created only after you consent to statistics. You can clear the storage and cookies in your browser settings.
So that the site works without a connection, your browser also keeps the site files (until the next version) and the timetables and stops you open, and for an open stop its timetable for the coming week. Saved timetables are no longer shown after 7 days and are deleted on your next visit. Searches for stops near you are not saved. None of this is sent to us.

Visit statistics
On time4bus.com we use Google Analytics 4, run through Google Tag Manager. We load both, save Google Analytics cookies and collect statistics only after you consent in the “Visit statistics” banner. Without consent the site works the same.
The controller of the data collected for statistics is GenesisMobo Sp. z o.o., ul. Rumiana 105, 02-956 Warszawa, Poland, also on the timetable pages of each city. For questions about statistics, write to biuro@genesismobo.com
The recipient of the data is Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), which processes it on our behalf. The data may be transferred to Google LLC in the USA under the European Commission’s adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, in which Google LLC participates.
We ask for consent with our own banner, without any third-party consent tool. We save your answer only in your browser storage (t4b.analyticsConsent) and keep it for 12 months, then we ask again. Until you agree, we load neither Google Tag Manager nor Google Analytics. Once you agree, your browser downloads Google Tag Manager from Google’s servers, so Google sees your IP address.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time with the “Cookie settings” button in the page footer, which shows the banner again. When you withdraw consent, we delete the Google Analytics cookies from your browser. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
