Most apps ask you to trust their privacy policy. Spirka simply has nothing to collect — no analytics SDKs, no ad networks, no accounts, no cookies. GDPR-compliant by architecture, not by consent banner.
Location stays on device
Your GPS position is used locally to find nearby stops and compute walking times. It never leaves your phone.
No identity, ever
No sign-up, no email, no phone number. We couldn't identify you even if someone asked us to.
Zero telemetry
No usage analytics, no crash-data brokers, no third-party trackers — in the app or on this website.
What does "Spirka" mean?
Spirka (Спирка) is the Bulgarian word for "Bus Stop".
We wanted a name that was deeply authentic to the local culture, yet punchy and easy to remember. "Spirka" represents exactly what the app does — connecting you instantly to your local transit stops, without any unnecessary complexity.
It's a nod to our roots in Varna, Bulgaria — built on a foundation designed to scale to more cities across Europe.
