Last updated: September 20, 2026. This Privacy Policy explains how Iceland Bus Map collects, uses, and protects your information.
Iceland Bus Map (https://www.icelandbusmap.com) is an independent public transit map and route planner. This Privacy Policy informs visitors of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our website, and the choices you have associated with that data.
By using Iceland Bus Map, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
How user information and transit queries are handled
Our interactive route planner offers an optional "My Location" feature to help you find the nearest bus stops and plan journeys from your current position. When you grant browser location permissions:
Like most standard websites, our hosting infrastructure may automatically log non-identifying technical data when you access pages, including:
If you contact us directly by email ([email protected]), we retain your email address and message contents solely to answer your questions, resolve technical issues, or implement schedule corrections. We will never sell, rent, or use your contact details for unsolicited marketing.
To enable offline transit search when traveling in remote parts of Iceland with limited cellular signal, this website uses browser Service Workers, Cache Storage, and LocalStorage to store static GTFS route shapes, stop directories, and schedules. These cached files contain public transit data only and contain no personal identifiers.

We use lightweight analytics tools (such as Vercel Analytics) to monitor site health, page response times, and aggregated pageview volume. These analytics are privacy-friendly, do not track individual users across distinct websites, and do not construct behavioral profiles.
Some pages on Iceland Bus Map may contain affiliate links (e.g. Travelpayouts, airport coach services, or activity bookings). If you click through an affiliate link and make a reservation, we may earn a modest commission at no additional cost to you. These third-party booking operators manage their own privacy and cookie tracking policies upon leaving our domain.
