Privacy Policy
This privacy policy applies to the PikaGo app (hereby referred to as “Application”) for mobile devices that was created by ochotona-studio (hereby referred to as “Service Provider”) as an ad-supported service. This service is intended for use “AS IS”.
Information Collection and Use
The Application is designed to show real-time bus and subway arrival information for routes, stops, and stations selected by the user.
The Application does not require account registration or login. The Service Provider does not collect or store user account information on its own servers.
The Application may process the following information to provide its core features:
- Favorite bus stops, subway stations, routes, and widget display preferences selected by the user
- Transit search or arrival request information needed to display bus and subway arrival times
- Basic app usage and device information collected by third-party advertising services
Favorite routes and widget settings are stored on the user’s device. They are used to display arrival information in the Application and widgets.
Location Information
The Application does not require precise real-time location access for its core favorite-based arrival display. If location-based features are added in the future, the Application will request the user’s permission before accessing device location.
Advertising

The Application may request real-time bus or subway arrival information from public transit data providers. These requests are used only to retrieve arrival information for the stop, station, or route selected by the user.
Data Retention Policy
The Service Provider does not operate a user account server for the Application. Favorites and widget settings are stored locally on the user’s device and may be removed by deleting the data in the Application or uninstalling the Application.
