Under certain applicable laws identification of an individual also includes any information which associates an individual with a persistent identifier such as a name, an identification number, persistent cookie identifier etc.

Personal information does not include information that has been anonymized or aggregated so that it can no longer identify or be used to identify a specific natural person.

Next – what and when do we collect personal information?

We collect personal information from you and from any devices (including mobile devices) you use when you install or have the App installed (or pre-installed) on your device, or when you use or access our Services, register for an account with us, provide us with information such as your favourites and travel habits, provide us information on a web form, run searches on our Services, update or add information to your account, or through correspondence you conduct with us.

More specifically we collect and use the following categories and types of information:

Personal information we collect automatically when you use our Services:

Information collected when installing the App


When you install the App (or have the App installed or pre-installed) on your mobile device, Moovit will set up a user account associated with that mobile device and create a User ID for you. This is a unique identifier generated by us in accordance with this Privacy Policy, which is necessary in order for us to provide you with our Services. After installation of the App, we will collect and use the User ID, together with certain other information including Metro area and certain device information which may include your device ID or other unique identifier, advertising ID, unique device token, device type, operating system (including version and settings), as well as your device screen resolution and keyboard language, all in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may link this information with the account created in connection with your mobile device and User ID.
