Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. Trip doesn't store your data.

Last Updated: December 20, 2025

At Trip (\"we,\" \"our,\" or \"us\"), we are committed to protecting your privacy. Trip does not collect, store, or process any personal information or user data on our servers. This Privacy Policy explains our minimal data practices for the Trip web application, widgets, and related services (collectively, the \"Service\").

1. No Data Storage

Trip does not store any user data, personal information, or trip plans. All trip planning happens in real-time, and any plans you create are stored locally in your browser only. We do not have access to your trip plans, search history, or any personal information.

2. Information Processed (Not Stored)

While we don't store your data, the following information is processed temporarily to provide the Service:

  • Trip Queries: Your destination searches and travel preferences are sent to AI services (Google Gemini) to generate itineraries, but are not stored by us
  • Location Data: Location information is processed by mapping services (Google Maps) to display routes and places, but is not retained by us
  • Browser Data: Standard web server logs may temporarily capture IP addresses and browser information for security and performance purposes only

3. How We Use Information

The minimal information we process is used solely to:

  • Provide the Service: Generate trip itineraries and display maps and routes in real-time
  • Improve Performance: Monitor and improve the Service's functionality and user experience
  • Security: Detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and security threats

We do not use your information for marketing, advertising, or any other purposes.

4. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party services that process data according to their own privacy policies:

4.1 Google Services

  • Google Maps Platform: We use Google Maps, Places, and Routes APIs to provide mapping, location search, and routing. Google may process IP addresses, location data, and usage information. See Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Google Gemini AI: We use Google's Gemini AI to generate personalized trip itineraries. Your trip requests are processed by Google's AI services but are not stored by us. See Google's Privacy Policy.

4.2 Weather Data Providers

We use third-party weather APIs to provide weather forecasts. These services may process location data and IP addresses according to their own privacy policies.

4.3 We Do Not Share Your Data

Since we don't collect or store your personal information, we have nothing to share. The only data processing happens through the third-party services mentioned above, which you interact with directly through our Service.

5. Local Storage

Trip uses your browser's local storage to save your trip plans and preferences on your device only. This data:

  • Remains on your device and is never transmitted to our servers
  • Can be cleared at any time through your browser settings
  • Is only accessible by the Trip website on your device
  • Is not shared with any third parties

6. Cookies

Trip uses minimal cookies and similar technologies only for:

  • Essential Functionality: Necessary for the Service to function properly
  • Preferences: Remember your settings and preferences locally

We do not use cookies for tracking, analytics, or advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Since Trip doesn't collect or store your personal information, there is no data for us to access, modify, or delete. You have complete control over any data stored locally in your browser:

  • Access: All your trip plans are stored locally on your device
  • Delete: Clear your browser's local storage at any time to remove all trip plans
  • Control: You can disable local storage through your browser settings (though this will prevent saving trip plans)

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for children under 13 years of age. Since we don't collect any personal information, we do not knowingly collect information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and have concerns, please contact us at support@plantrip.org.

9. International Users

Trip is accessible worldwide. Since we don't store user data on our servers, there are no international data transfers of your personal information. All data processing happens through third-party services (Google) according to their own privacy policies and data transfer mechanisms.

10. Data Security

While we don't store your data, we implement security measures to protect the Service:

  • HTTPS/TLS encryption for all communications
  • Secure connections to third-party services
  • Regular security monitoring and updates

Your trip plans stored in your browser's local storage are protected by your browser's security mechanisms.

11. Do Not Track

Since Trip doesn't track users, Do Not Track (DNT) signals are not applicable. We don't use any tracking technologies beyond what's necessary for the Service to function.

12. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

For California residents: Since Trip does not collect, store, or sell personal information, CCPA data rights regarding access, deletion, and opt-out of sale do not apply. We have no personal information to access, delete, or sell.

13. GDPR Compliance (European Users)

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or Switzerland: Since Trip does not collect or store personal data, most GDPR provisions do not apply. The minimal data processing we perform (through third-party services) is based on legitimate interests to provide the Service you request.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated Privacy Policy on this page with a new "Last Updated" date. Since we don't collect contact information, we cannot notify you directly of changes. Please review this policy periodically.

16. Summary

In short: Trip is designed with privacy in mind. We don't collect, store, or process your personal information. All your trip plans stay on your device. Third-party services (Google Maps, Gemini AI, weather providers) process data according to their own policies to provide the Service's functionality.
