Terms of Service
These terms govern the Qoley Android app (pl.gapski.qoley) and the qoley.gapski.pl website, developed by Gapski. Contact: qoley@gapski.pl. By installing or using Qoley you accept these terms. Updated: 8 November 2026.
What Qoley is
Qoley is a free awareness assistant. During a session you start, it uses your phone's location to remind you, with a short voice message and a notification, when you approach a railway crossing stored in its database. The first database covers Poland. Qoley is not a navigation app and does not require an account.
Not a safety system
Qoley does not detect trains, barrier positions or signals, and it does not control any crossing. Warnings depend on GPS quality, device settings and the database, so they can be late, missing or false. A warning is only a reminder; no warning never means the crossing is clear. Always follow the actual signs and signals, and never operate the phone while driving.
Crossing data
The crossing database comes from the OpenStreetMap community under ODbL 1.0. It is not an official or field-verified register and may be incomplete, outdated or wrong; crossings can be missing or incorrectly located. The app can download newer database versions from qoley.gapski.pl over Wi-Fi or on demand. Data coverage is Poland only — five interface languages do not mean five-country coverage.
Using the app
Use Qoley lawfully and as a supplementary aid only. Do not misuse or disrupt the app or the update service, do not circumvent its safeguards, and respect the ODbL licence when reusing the crossing data. You are responsible for your device, permissions and how you drive; the app never replaces your attention or the rules of the road.
Privacy
Location is processed on the phone during a session you start; no route history is saved and nothing about your location is sent to Qoley's server. There are no accounts, ads or analytics. The online map is on by default and shares your IP and viewed area with CARTO and OpenRailwayMap; database updates contact qoley.gapski.pl without sending your location. Details are in the privacy policy linked below.
Availability and changes to the app
Qoley is currently distributed through Google Play testing. The app is provided as is, free of charge, and may be changed, limited or discontinued at any time. Continuous availability, error-free operation and compatibility with every device or Android version are not guaranteed.
Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Gapski is not liable for damage arising from use of, or inability to use, Qoley — including missed, late or false warnings, data errors or reliance on the app. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including mandatory consumer rights or liability for intent and gross negligence.
Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated as Qoley develops. The current version is always published on this page with its update date; continued use of the app after an update means you accept the new terms. Questions about the terms: qoley@gapski.pl.
