TrainDex Support

PRIVACY

TrainDex UK is designed to keep your collection on your device.

Summary

TrainDex UK does not require an account, and Mini Thingy does not operate a backend that receives your collection. The current app contains no advertising, analytics or tracking SDKs. Mini Thingy does not sell personal information.

Collection records and photographs

Train spots, dates, notes, station choices, progress and photographs selected or captured through TrainDex are stored locally on your device. TrainDex does not upload collection photographs or records to Mini Thingy servers.

If you choose a system share action, export a backup or save a generated card, iOS sends or stores the item only at your direction. The destination you select is responsible for its own privacy practices.

Camera and photo library

Camera and photo-library access are optional and used only when you choose to add a photograph. iOS may retrieve an image from iCloud if the selected item is not stored locally. Apple handles that retrieval under your iCloud settings.

Location

Location access is optional and When In Use only. TrainDex uses location locally for features such as sorting fixed railway attractions by straight-line distance. TrainDex does not use background location or send location to Mini Thingy.

Changes

If TrainDex’s data practices materially change, this policy and its App Store privacy information will be updated before the changed version is released.

Retention, deletion and permissions
TrainDex data remains on your device until you delete individual entries or remove the app. You can revoke camera, photo-library or location permission at any time in iOS Settings. Files you export and items you share must be removed separately from their saved destinations. TrainDex does not share user data with advertising, analytics or tracking partners.

TrainDex UK Data Sources & Licences

TrainDex UK includes a 2,661-record offline passenger-station database. This page identifies its sources, licences and the changes made by TrainDex. This is reference data—not live railway, journey-planning or safety information.

Great Britain records derive from the davwheat/uk-railway-stations database, using the reviewed snapshot at commit e6131cf3c674d286140155b22740da1064479b63.

The database is made available under the Open Database Licence 1.0. Attribution is provided to davwheat, Trainline EU and Trainline EU’s named upstream sources: OpenStreetMap, SNCF OpenData, GeoNames, Digitraffic.fi, OpenTransportData.swiss and admin.ch.

Northern Ireland records use the Translink Northern Ireland Rail Timetable Data package published through Open Data NI.Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

• Open Government Licence v3.0

TrainDex filters and normalises the reviewed records, excludes non-passenger and out-of-scope stops, converts them to the app schema and combines separately licensed Great Britain and Northern Ireland subsets.

The published output contains 2,607 Great Britain records and 54 Northern Ireland records. The Great Britain subset is offered under ODbL 1.0; the Northern Ireland subset retains its OGL v3.0 identification.

Source names, company names, railway names and trademarks belong to their respective owners. Their appearance does not imply endorsement, sponsorship or affiliation with TrainDex UK or Mini Thingy.
