Privacy

Last updated 8 October 2026

Only what it needs

Your classes, stops and settings: enough to say which bus.

Your location isn't kept

Used for one answer, rounded to about 11 metres, then dropped.

Yours to delete

Your account and everything kept with it, any time, on the account page.

terminus is a free, independent student project. It keeps only what it needs to tell you which bus to catch, and you can delete all of it yourself at any time.

What is stored

Your email address

If you give one, to send sign-in codes and links and to tell you when a device is added. No password is ever stored.

Your timetable

Each class's day, time, venue and nearest stop, classes you add, and the NUSMods share link you imported.

Your settings

Home stops (stop names only, never your address), walking minutes and pace, favourites, saved places and usual times, your hours, clock and language.

Today's trip

Each trip's class, bus, stops and times, and what happened to it, with the bus's plate once you're on it. Deleted at midnight.

How each trip went

For 35 days, one word per trip and day: on the bus, missed it, not going, or arrived, with which class it was. Never when it happened or where you were.

Reports you send

Your note and the answer you saw, for a year. The note is emailed to the person who runs terminus, without your address.

Your devices

Each device's name, app and version, when it was added and last used, and its push address. The names of any API keys you make.

Sign-in and device tokens are stored only as one-way hashes. Accounts without an email are deleted 60 days after they were last used.

What is never stored

Your location

Rounded to about 11 metres by terminus, used for that one answer and not saved. For a trip, only whether you arrived is kept.

Where you are on the map

Your device draws its own dot. It is not sent to terminus.

Ads or tracking

No ads, no cookies beyond the one that keeps you signed in and one that remembers the language you chose, and nothing that follows you across sites.

Your data

See, download or delete it

On the account page; an account without an email, in its app's settings too. Deleting your account removes it and everything kept with it immediately.

The full privacy policyEvery detail: who handles your data, how long it's kept, and your rights under Singapore's PDPA. This is a summary; the full policy is the one that counts.
