Plain-language notice
Privacy without surprises
This independent guide has no accounts or first-party page-view or session analytics. A platform vote sends the limited anonymous event described below. We also process data when you email us, open the embedded activities catalogue or follow a marked affiliate link.

Faroe Islands Bus
The planned Faroe Islands Bus app
The app is in development and is not yet published on the App Store or Google Play. The design below is what it is being built to, and this page will be updated with the shipped behaviour when it is released.
Location
Location is used only if you choose to enable it, to sort nearby stops. It is processed on the device and is not sent to us or to any third party.
What is shared
No account is required and no personal profile is built. The app is designed to work offline, which means it does not need to report where you are or where you are going.
Third-party services
Store delivery is handled by Apple and Google under their own terms. Any analytics or crash reporting added before release will be named on this page before the app ships, not after.
Retention
Saved journeys and preferences are stored on your device and are removed when you delete the app.
Your choices
Location can be refused or withdrawn at any time in your device settings without losing access to routes, stops or timetable links.
Safeguards
Schedule and route data is bundled with the app and read from official Faroese operator publications. The app links back to those publications rather than presenting itself as the authority.
Deleting your data
Because the app stores its data on your device and requires no account, deletion is entirely in your hands.
If you need something removed
Write to us at [email protected] and tell us what you would like removed. We will reply with exactly what we hold, which for an offline app is normally nothing.
What you can delete yourself
- Saved journeys and favourites, from within the app.
- All app data, by deleting the app from your device.
What cannot be deleted on request
We cannot delete records held by Apple or Google about your download or purchase, because those are theirs rather than ours. Their own privacy settings cover them.
What we keep
- Correspondence you send us, for as long as it takes to answer it.
Who operates this guide
Faroe Islands Bus is an independent information website and is not a transport operator, public authority or activity provider.
Privacy questions and rights requests: [email protected].
Website delivery and security
Cloudflare delivers and protects this website. Like most web infrastructure, it processes request information such as IP address, requested URL, traffic-routing data, browser or system information, and security signals. We use this processing only to deliver, cache, secure and diagnose the site.
Anonymous app-interest votes
If you press an iPhone or Android vote, this site sends one cookie-free app_interest_click event to PostHog EU Cloud. It contains only site, platform, placement and page_path. A fresh random identifier is created for that event and no visitor profile is created. PostHog also receives ordinary connection data, such as your IP address, to deliver and secure the request.
After a vote is counted, this site stores the value 1 in localStorage under a key for the site and platform to prevent repeat votes in that browser. The flag contains no unique token and is not a unique visitor identifier. It remains until you clear this site’s stored data.
We use these events only to compare platform demand while deciding whether to build the app, then delete or aggregate them when no longer needed. Voting is optional. You can clear this site’s stored data at any time. The email launch-contact link sends no analytics event.
Email you choose to send us
If you email us, we receive your email address, message, headers and anything you attach. Cloudflare Email Routing forwards the message to a verified support inbox. We use it to answer the request, correct the guide, handle accessibility feedback or meet legal obligations.
Do not send passport, payment-card or health information. Messages are kept only as long as reasonably needed for the conversation, security and legal obligations, then deleted or anonymised.
Affiliate links
Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you book through one we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. It never changes what we tell you about the buses and ferries, and no operator pays for a place on this site. Affiliate URLs include our partner identifier and a placement label. We do not receive your booking or payment details from this website.
The Experiences page embeds GetYourGuide’s catalogue. Opening that page connects your browser to GetYourGuide so it can provide current activities, prices and availability; it receives ordinary request information and may process data under its own privacy notice.
When you select a marked affiliate link, we send one cookie-free affiliate_click event to PostHog EU Cloud so we can understand which placements support this guide. It contains this site’s name, the current page path, the affiliate, placement, and destination host and path. It uses a new random identifier for that single event, creates no visitor profile, and does not track page views or sessions. PostHog also receives ordinary connection data, such as your IP address, to deliver and secure the request.
When you follow a GetYourGuide link, you leave this site and GetYourGuide and the activity provider process information under their own terms.
Your choices and rights
You can choose not to vote, clear this site’s stored data, or not follow an affiliate link. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict personal information, object to some processing, or complain to a data-protection authority. Email us to exercise a right. We may need enough information to verify and complete the request.
Changes to this notice
We update this page when the site’s technology or data practices change. The date above shows the current version.
