Delete your data

How to remove the data RideGT holds, and what there is to remove.

To request deletion: email vedantlalitbhatt@gmail.com with the subject Data deletion request. We reply within 7 days and complete verified requests within 30 days.

First, the honest version

RideGT has no accounts. You never give us a name, and nothing we store is attached to your identity, so for most people there is genuinely nothing on our servers that can be traced back to them. The sections below are the exceptions.

What deleting the app already removes

Your install ID

RideGT generates a random ID when you first open it. It is not your name, account, email, device identifier or advertising ID — it exists so repeat requests from one phone can be grouped. It lives only on your phone, and uninstalling the app deletes it permanently. A fresh install gets a brand-new one with no link to the old.

Recent locations and saved preferences

Kept on your device, never uploaded. Removed with the app.

Get-off alert registrations

Deleted the moment the alert fires or you switch the bell off, and evicted automatically after two hours regardless. Nothing to request.

What you have to ask us to delete

Feedback you sent us

If you used the in-app feedback form and chose to include your email address, that message and address sit in our support mail. Tell us the address you used and we will delete the correspondence.

Analytics events from your install

Route-search events carry your install ID and a location coarsened to roughly 1 km tiles. Because the app never displays your install ID, we cannot look it up from an email alone. If you want these purged, say so in your request and describe roughly when and where you used the app; we will locate and remove what we can, and tell you plainly if we cannot isolate your records.

What we cannot delete

Aggregate counts

Once events are rolled up into totals — searches per day, error rates — individual records no longer exist inside them and cannot be pulled back out. These contain nothing that identifies anyone.

Bus and route data

Comes from Georgia Tech’s public transit feed and is not about you.

Retention

Analytics events are retained for up to 12 months and then expire on their own. Crash reports expire after 90 days. Alert registrations last at most two hours. You do not need to request anything for these to lapse.
