App Permissions
Understanding what permissions RailRadar needs and why they're important for your safety.
Why We Need These Permissions
RailRadar helps keep you safe at railroad crossings. We need one-time location access during signup to help you select your relevant town, and optionally permission to send you safety alerts.
Location (One Time)
One time upon signing up to find relevant town selection
We use your location once during signup to help you select the most relevant town for railroad crossing alerts.
Notifications
Send important safety alerts about railroad crossing activity
Push notifications alert you about approaching trains or crossing malfunctions. You can enable this later in your device settings.
Safety First
Remember: RailRadar is a tool to help enhance your awareness, but it should never replace looking both ways, listening for trains, and following all posted railroad crossing signals and gates.
