TravMate Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 20-May-2025

1. Data We Collect

2. How We Use Your Data

3. Third-Party Services

We rely on trusted external providers:

These services may have access to limited user data in accordance with their own privacy policies.

4. International Transfers

Your data may be processed in Australia, the United States, or the European Union. We use standard contractual clauses where applicable to ensure lawful international data transfers.

5. Your Rights

6. Data Retention

Your data is retained as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, data is purged from our systems within 30 days unless required for legal compliance.

7. Children's Privacy

TravMate is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

8. Security

We apply strict access control, encryption, and privacy enforcement through Firebase and Google Cloud to protect your data.

All media files — including photos, videos, and uploaded documents — are stored securely and are only accessible by the user who uploaded them. TravMate uses expiring, signed URLs to stream or download files, ensuring temporary access only. This means even if a link is shared, it cannot be reused after expiration.

Only authenticated users can access their content, and unauthorized access is blocked by our storage security rules. Access attempts are logged and monitored by Firebase to prevent misuse.

In rare cases, authorized staff may access user data strictly for technical support, abuse investigation, or legal compliance, under confidentiality.

9. Responsibility for Uploaded Content

Users are fully responsible for the content they upload, including personal documents, booking confirmations, and media files. You agree not to upload sensitive personal information such as:

Doing so is at your own discretion and risk.

While we take strong measures to protect your data — including secure infrastructure, expiring access links, and permission-based storage rules — EurAppia Labs Pty Ltd cannot be held responsible for data breaches, leaks, or unauthorized access caused by user actions, improper sharing, or failures in third-party services.

Uploading sensitive content is done at your own risk, and you agree to indemnify EurAppia Labs Pty Ltd and its owners from any consequences related to such content.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect improvements or legal changes. Updates will be posted in-app and take effect immediately upon posting.

12. AI Processing and Uploaded Documents

TravMate uses artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance your travel experience by analyzing uploaded documents (e.g., PDFs, screenshots, ticket images) and generating helpful summaries.

We use techniques like Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and metadata extraction to read booking details from files you upload. This allows TravMate to auto-populate fields and generate itinerary suggestions.

Some of this processing may be performed by third-party AI providers (such as OpenAI), and content may be temporarily sent to their servers for analysis. No personal identifiers are intentionally included in these requests beyond what is contained in the document.

AI-generated insights may include summaries, suggestions, or itineraries, but they may contain inaccuracies. Please verify important information independently.

By using TravMate, you consent to this type of AI processing for the purpose of improving your travel planning experience.
