Privacy Policy
Last updated September 29, 2026
Trip Tracker is an independently run personal project, not a company. This policy describes in
plain terms what we collect and why — if anything here is unclear, email
support@grouptriptracker.com and we'll answer
directly.
What we collect
When you use Trip Tracker, we collect:
- Account info: your name and email address, and your password (stored securely,
hashed — we never see it in plain text). If you set up a passkey, your device stores the private
key; we only ever see a public credential identifier.
- Trip content: anything you or your trip's members add — trip names and destinations,
itinerary items (flights, hotels, reservations, etc.) including confirmation numbers, costs, notes,
and addresses, and any comments left on itinerary items. This is visible to everyone else in that
trip.
- Push notification subscriptions: if you turn on notifications, your browser gives
us an endpoint we use to deliver them. We never see the notification's content once your browser's
push service (e.g. Google's or Apple's) delivers it — just the fact that it was sent.
- Emails you forward to add bookings: only emails you send to your trip's private
import address. We read them once to add the booking to your trip and keep the resulting itinerary
items, not the email itself (our email provider, Resend, holds received messages for up to 30
days).
- Calendar link: if you create one, a private link your calendar app uses to fetch
your trips. You can reset or turn it off in Account.
- Offline copies: trips you open are saved in your own browser so they're readable
without a signal. They stay on your device, and are removed when you log out.
- Basic usage data: if analytics are enabled, which pages you visit and which actions
you take (creating a trip, adding an item, etc.), tied to your account so we can understand how
the app is actually used.
- Error diagnostics: if error tracking is enabled, technical details about crashes
or bugs (e.g. a stack trace), to help us fix them.
Biometric unlock (Face ID/Touch ID/fingerprint) is handled entirely by your own device — we
never receive your biometric data at all.
Who we share it with
We don't sell your data, and we don't share it with advertisers. We do rely on a small number
of service providers to run the app, each of whom only sees what they need to do their
specific job:
- Supabase — hosts our database and handles account authentication. This is where
your account and trip data actually live.
- Vercel — hosts the app itself.
- Sentry (if enabled) — receives crash/error diagnostics.
- PostHog — receives basic usage analytics.
- Unsplash and Pexels (if enabled) — supply cover photos; they receive only a short
search phrase, never account or personal data.
- Anthropic (if enabled) — its Claude AI picks a cover-photo search phrase from
a trip's name and destination, and, only when you forward a booking email to your trip's private
import address, reads that email to add the booking to your itinerary. Nothing else is sent to
it, and emails you don't forward to that address never are.
- Resend (if enabled) — sends and receives our email: account emails (confirmation,
password reset), messages to support, and booking emails you forward to your import address.
We only ever disclose your information beyond this list if required to comply with the law, or
to protect the safety of our users.
How long we keep it
We keep your account and trip data for as long as your account exists. If you leave a trip,
your own itinerary items and comments generally remain (since other trip members rely on them)
unless you remove them yourself. You can delete your account yourself any time from the
Account page, or email support@grouptriptracker.com and we'll do it for
you promptly.
Your rights
Regardless of where you live, you can ask us at any time to:
- See what personal information we hold about you
- Correct anything that's inaccurate
- Delete your account and associated personal data
- Export your data in a portable format
If you're a California resident, you have specific rights under the CCPA, including the right
to know what personal information is collected and the right to request deletion — we don't
sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, so there's
nothing to opt out of on that front. Contact us at support@grouptriptracker.com to exercise any of
these rights.
Children's privacy
Trip Tracker isn't directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect personal information
from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll
remove it.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update the date at the top of this page. We
encourage checking back occasionally.
