These Service Terms incorporate the Privacy Policy (Tennessen Warning) by reference, which can be found at https://www.metrotransit.org/Tennessen By registering and using the Metro Transit App, you agree to allow the Council to collect and use the data as explained in the Privacy Policy.

When purchasing and using a transit ticket or when using the “Find Me Use current location” feature of Trip Planner and NexTrip, the Council will request access to your geolocation data. Geolocation data is collected for route planning, ridership analysis, and service improvements. The Council shares this information with individual employees and third parties with a business need to know the information, and may be required to provide the information to other parties by a court order or to the state or legislative auditor. You may opt-out of providing your geolocation data at any time by accessing the App Permissions under “Settings.” If you do not provide geolocation data, you will be able to purchase tickets but will not be able to use the “Find MeUse current location” feature of the Trip Planner and NexTrip.

Additionally, by using the Metro Transit App to make purchases, you understand and agree that your information, including credit card information, is provided to Token Transit, Inc. to use and maintain the Services, including payment processing.

You agree that any information you provide is accurate, complete and updated. Failure to do so constitutes a breach to these Service Terms and may result in a termination of your account and access to the Services. You are responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of your account password. You are also solely responsible for all activities that occur through your User ID and password. You agree not to access or use, or attempt to access or use, the Services or any part thereof using the identity or the Registration Data    of any person other than yourself. You agree to immediately notify the Council of any unauthorized use of your User ID or password. From time to time, you may be asked to confirm your account via an email message.

Only you may be aware of any problems that may occur during the purchase process.
