Hop On Metro

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 31, 2025

Note: Please review this Privacy Policy regularly. We may update it periodically, and any changes will be reflected here with a revised effective date.

Welcome to HopOnMetro (hoponmetro.com). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, and protect your information when you use our website and related services. By using HopOnMetro, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. What HopOnMetro Does

HopOnMetro helps users find the shortest metro route between two stations (for example, Delhi Metro) and locate the nearest metro station using a user's current location.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Location Information

When you use the “Find Nearest Station” feature or allow location access, your browser or device shares your current geolocation with HopOnMetro.

Important: Geolocation data is transmitted to our server temporarily to compute the nearest metro station and return results to your device. We do not store or retain raw location coordinates after processing.

2.2 Route and Request Data

We may receive the origin and destination stations you enter to calculate routes. We do not collect names, emails, or personally identifiable data unless you voluntarily provide them.

2.3 Log and Technical Data

We automatically collect non-personal technical information such as:

  • Anonymized IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Visited pages and timestamps
  • Diagnostic and performance data

3. How We Use Information

  • To calculate routes and nearest stations
  • To improve and secure our services
  • To display relevant ads via third-party networks
  • To analyze aggregated usage patterns

4. Location Processing — Ephemeral and Not Stored

Location data is processed only temporarily to compute results. Once the nearest station is determined, raw coordinates are discarded. Aggregated, non-identifiable statistics may be used for analytics.

5. Third-Party Services

5.1 Google AdSense

We display ads via Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits. You can manage ad settings at adssettings.google.com.

5.2 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand visitor behavior. Learn more at Google Analytics Opt-out.

6. Cookies

  • Maintain user preferences
  • Support ads and analytics
  • Enhance performance and security

You can disable cookies in your browser, but certain site features may not work properly.

7. Data Security

We implement encryption (HTTPS) and server security measures to protect your information. While we strive for complete safety, no system is entirely secure.

8. Data Retention

We do not retain location data. Only anonymized, aggregated data may be kept for analytics or service improvement.

9. Your Choices and Rights

  • Location: Control location permissions via your browser or device.
  • Ads: Manage ad personalization at adssettings.google.com.
  • Analytics: Use Google’s opt-out add-on if desired.

10. Children

HopOnMetro does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If such data is discovered, we will delete it immediately.

11. International Data Transfers

Data may be processed in other countries. We ensure reasonable safeguards for compliance.

12. Third-Party Links

Our site may link to third-party websites. This policy does not apply to those sites.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy periodically. Please check this page regularly for changes. Continued use means acceptance of updates.
