Privacy Policy

1. Data Controller

DoVe Venezia Email: info@dovevenezia.com

2. Data Collected

DoVe does not collect or store any personally identifiable data. No registration is required, no user profiles are created, and no information such as name, email, or phone number is collected.

The app bundles essential data (civic numbers, schedules, pharmacies) to work without an internet connection. Periodically, the app checks for updated data and downloads it automatically; no personal data is transmitted during this process.

3. Location Data

The app may request access to the device's GPS location solely to display your position on the map and calculate distances to nearby stops and pharmacies. Your location:

Is never transmitted to DoVe or any third party
Is never stored or logged
Is used only locally, within the app
You can use DoVe normally without granting this permission

4. Push Notifications

If you authorize notifications, the app registers an anonymous technical identifier (device token) with our server to send alerts about schedule updates, on-duty pharmacies, and other useful information. This token:

Is not linked to your personal identity
Is not shared with third parties for advertising purposes
Can be revoked at any time by disabling notifications in your device settings

5. Third-Party Services

DoVe uses the following third-party services:

Maps (iOS): Apple MapKit, managed by Apple Inc. and subject to Apple's Privacy Policy.
Maps (Android): MapLibre Native with map tiles provided by OpenFreeMap (an open-source project). Tiles are downloaded from public servers solely to render the map; no personal data is transmitted.
Push notifications (Android): Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google). The service transmits the device token to Google servers for notification delivery, per Google's Privacy Policy.
Push notifications (iOS): Apple Push Notification Service (APNs), subject to Apple's Privacy Policy.
Data updates: Updated data (schedules, pharmacies) is downloaded from GitHub Pages. No personal data is transmitted during downloads.

6. Analytics and Tracking

DoVe does not use any analytics system, tracking, or usage statistics collection.

7. Local Storage

The app saves user preferences (language, theme, favorite stops) and a cache of downloaded data locally on your device. This data:

Remains exclusively on your device
Is never transmitted
Can be deleted by uninstalling the app
