Privacy
NextMetro Privacy Policy
NextMetro is designed to help you time your trip without creating an account, tracking you, or building a commute profile.
Data We Collect
NextMetro does not collect personal data from you and does not require an account. Your WMATA API key, walk buffer, commute window, and route settings are stored on your devices so the app can request relevant train predictions.
Location and Tracking
NextMetro does not request location access and does not track you across apps or websites.
Apple Watch Sync
If you use the Apple Watch app, NextMetro syncs your WMATA API key and commute settings from your iPhone to your Apple Watch using Apple's WatchConnectivity framework.
WMATA
NextMetro sends your WMATA API key to WMATA only when requesting train predictions. WMATA provides the arrival data and may process requests according to its own terms and policies.
Notifications
If you enable notifications, NextMetro schedules local reminders on your device so you know when to start walking. Notification permissions can be changed in iOS or watchOS Settings.
