Travoila is built on a simple promise: your trips are yours. We don't collect personal data to sell or analyze your behavior across the web. This page explains exactly what data the app uses, why, and where it lives.
What we collect
We collect only what's strictly necessary to run the features you use.
- ●Account: an email address and a password hash, so you can sign in and keep your trips synced across devices. Email is never used for marketing.
- ●Trip data: trips, days, stops, journal entries, packing lists, and travel guides you create. Stored on our server so you can access them across devices.
- ●Profile picture (optional): if you upload one, it's stored as a small image on our server. Nothing more.
- ●Username (optional): a public handle other Travoila users can use to share guides with you. You choose it.
What we don't collect
- ●Analytics or usage tracking inside the app — no third-party SDKs reading what you tap.
- ●Your contacts, photos library, microphone, or messages.
- ●Background location. We never collect your location while the app is closed.
- ●Crash analytics tied to your identity.
What stays on your device
These never leave your phone unless you explicitly export them:
- ●Your current GPS location (used in the moment for "near you" features and weather, then discarded).
- ●Your unit preference (°F vs °C, mi vs km).
- ●Your active-trip preference (which trip you're focused on right now).
- ●Your theme preference (light / dark / system).
Third-party services we use
Travoila is a small app and we lean on a few well-known services to deliver core features. Your data passes through them only as needed for the feature to work.
- ●Google Places — for place search, opening hours, photos, and reviews. Search queries you type are sent to Google so they can return results.
- ●Apple Maps / Google Maps — for map rendering and turn-by-turn directions.
- ●Open-Meteo — for weather forecasts. We send only coordinates; no account info.
- ●Anthropic (Claude) — when you use AI features (suggestions, replan, optimize, packing list, events search), the relevant trip context is sent for that single call. Claude does not retain it for training.
- ●Ticketmaster Discovery — for the events feature. Trip dates + destination coordinates only.
- ●RevenueCat (when payments are enabled) — manages App Store subscription receipts. Receives an anonymous user ID and the receipt data Apple provides; nothing else.
We use no marketing-attribution or analytics SDKs. If that ever changes, this page is the first thing we update.
Push notifications
Travoila does not send marketing pushes. If we add notifications later (e.g., "your trip starts tomorrow"), you'll opt in explicitly.
Children
Travoila is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect data from children. If you're a parent and believe your child signed up, contact us and we'll delete the account.
Your rights
- ●Access: every trip / journal / list you've created is visible inside the app. We don't store anything secret about you.
- ●Export: you can export any trip as PDF or .ics calendar from the Plan screen.
- ●Deletion: Settings → Delete account permanently removes your account and every trip, journal entry, packing list, guide, and AI history attached to it. The deletion is final and immediate.
Where data is stored
Account and trip data are stored in our managed PostgreSQL database hosted in the United States. Connections are encrypted in transit (TLS).
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes — for example, adding a new third-party service or collecting a new piece of data — we'll update this page and bump the "last updated" date at the top. For significant changes, we'll notify you in-app before the change takes effect.
