Data Storage and Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the security and integrity of your personal data. These measures include, but are not limited to, encryption, regularly testing our systems, and limiting access to authorized personnel only.
When you submit personal data to TransitWave, the data is stored on secure servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet is entirely secure; therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data during transmission.

TransitWave only shares personal data with trusted third parties to enable the provision of our services and streamline their functionality. These may include:
- Website hosting providers
- Analytics service providers (e.g. Google Analytics)
- Financial transaction processors
- Law enforcement and regulatory entities, where required by law or subpoena
We require all third parties to maintain the same level of security and data protection as mandated by international data protection regulations. We prohibit these third parties from using your personal data for any purpose other than providing requested services.
International Data Transfers
If you use our services from outside of the United States, please be aware that your personal data may be transferred to and processed in the United States. By accessing our service, you consent to the transfer and processing of your data in the United States or any other country in which we have facilities, which may have different data protection rules than those of your country.
Children’s Privacy
TransitWave does not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 13 years of age or offer services targeting children. If we become aware of any personal data collected from children without parental consent, we will take immediate steps to delete it. If you believe we may have inadvertently collected personal information from a child, please contact us immediately.
