1. Data we collect

  • Account data: name, email, and profile photo from your sign-in provider.
  • Trip data: trip names, dates, points, notes, photos, and members.
  • Usage data: device info, browser type, IP address, and basic analytics events.
  • Location data: coordinates you provide or choose to share (e.g., map clicks or “My location”).

2. How we use data

  • Deliver core features (maps, points, notes, photos, sharing).
  • Maintain security, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot issues.
  • Improve reliability and guide product decisions through aggregated insights.
  • Communicate important updates about your account or privacy.

3. Sharing and visibility

Trip visibility (private, unlisted, public) controls who can view your content. Public or unlisted trips can be seen by anyone with access to the link. Collaborators you invite may view and add content based on your sharing choices.

4. Third-party services

We rely on third parties to power certain features (e.g., map tiles, geocoding, Google Photos). Their terms and privacy practices apply when you use those features; they may receive data necessary to provide the service.

5. Cookies and local storage

We use cookies and local storage to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and support analytics and security. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but some features may not work without them.

6. Data retention

We retain account and trip data while you use OurTrips. When you delete content or your account, we remove or anonymize associated personal data unless retention is required by law or legitimate business needs (e.g., security logs).

7. Security

We apply industry-standard security practices and access controls. No system is perfectly secure; notify us immediately at privacy@ourtrips.app if you suspect unauthorized access.

8. Your choices and rights

  • Access, update, or delete your content from within the app.
  • Request data export or deletion by emailing privacy@ourtrips.app.
  • Adjust trip visibility and sharing to control who sees your content.
  • Withdraw consent for features relying on third parties by discontinuing those features.

9. Children

OurTrips is not directed to children under 13. If we learn we collected personal data from a child under 13, we will delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

We will update this page with a new effective date when the policy changes. Material updates will be announced through the app. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
