Nostos is a free tool that predicts NJ Transit track assignments at New York Penn Station. This policy explains what we collect and how we handle it. We aim to collect as little as possible.
The “My Train” feature uses your device’s location only inside your browser to find trains near you. Your location is never sent to or stored on our servers.
If you turn on track alerts, we store the anonymous push subscription your browser provides and the train numbers you chose to watch, so we can send those alerts. No name, email, or account is required. Turning alerts off removes this.
Our server keeps standard web logs (including IP address, timestamp, and requested pages) to keep the service secure and understand aggregate usage. We may also record anonymous, cookie-free in-app usage events (which features are used, time on page) using a random per-session identifier that is not linked to your identity.
If you send feedback, we receive your message and, if you choose to include it, your email address — used only to read and respond.
No ads. No selling or sharing your data. No third-party advertising or cross-site trackers. No payments.
Train data comes from NJ Transit. Nostos is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed by NJ TRANSIT.
Push subscriptions are kept until you turn alerts off or they expire. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security and diagnostics.
Use the app without location or notifications; turn alerts off anytime; contact us to remove feedback you’ve sent.
Nostos is not directed to children under 13.
We may update this policy; the date above reflects the latest version.
