Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 20, 2026

TravelPad (“we”, “us”) helps you plan road trips. This policy explains what we collect and why. If you have questions, email privacy@travelpad.travel.

What we collect

• Account data — email, password (hashed), profile details you choose (name, tag, interests).
• Trip data — drives, stops, notes, shared links, Convoy posts and comments you create.
• Usage data — privacy-friendly product analytics (Plausible) and server logs needed to run, secure, and improve the service. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site trackers.
• Payment data — if you subscribe to TravelPad Pro, billing is handled by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers.
• Photos — images you upload (for example Convoy posts or check-ins), which may be moderated for safety.

How we use it

• Provide route planning, Scout AI suggestions, sharing, and community features.
• Secure accounts, prevent abuse, and enforce rate limits.
• Send transactional email (verification, password reset, billing).
• Improve TravelPad based on aggregate usage.

Sharing

We use trusted processors such as Google (maps, places, cloud storage), OpenAI (Scout and suggestions), Stripe (payments), and Resend (email). We do not sell your personal information.

Shared drive links and public Convoy content are visible to anyone with the link or browsing the feed. Do not post anything you want to keep private.

Retention & deletion

We keep account and trip data while your account is active. You can request account deletion by contacting us at the email above. Some logs and backups may persist for a limited period for security and legal compliance.

Your choices

• Update profile and interests in the app.
• Stop sharing a drive by keeping the link private (treat share URLs like passwords).
• Opt out of marketing email if we send any (transactional mail still required for the account).

Children

TravelPad is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child created an account, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date above will change when we do. Continued use means you accept the updated policy.
