This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Traveltogether (“the App”, “we”, “us”) collects, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices and rights you have.
How to read this policy: Sections 1–9 apply to everyone. Section 10 (“Your regional rights”) adds rights and details that depend on where you live — find your country or region there.
Traveltogether is operated by Vibe Everything Company Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong (registered address: [FILL IN: registered address]). For any privacy question or request, contact us at hello@vibeeverything.co.
Receipt and trip images are stored on your device, and location metadata is removed from them before saving. The App does not use your device’s GPS location.
We use Google services to show and measure ads and to understand app usage, including Google AdMob / the Google Mobile Ads SDK and Google Analytics for Firebase. Learn more about how Google uses information from apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
What trip information we may use for advertising: your destination (the text you enter), trip dates, the kind of group you travel with, and your stated travel interests, plus your optional profile above. We use this only to show more relevant travel-related ads.
Sensitive categories are never used. We do not use or infer sensitive characteristics — such as health, racial or ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade-union membership, or negative financial status — to target ads.
Personalized vs. non-personalized: we show personalized ads only when you have turned on personalized ads, allowed tracking when prompted, and (in Europe/UK) given consent through the consent screen. Otherwise we show non-personalized ads.
We do not sell your personal information for money. Some ad-related sharing may be considered a “sale” or “share” under certain U.S. state laws — see Section 10 for how to opt out.
We keep your data while your account is active and as needed for the purposes in this policy, then delete or anonymize it. Specific periods: [FILL IN: e.g. account data kept until deletion; diagnostics kept N months; ad identifiers kept N months].
Deleting your account: you can delete your account and associated personal data from within the App (Settings → Delete account), or contact hello@vibeeverything.co.
Shared trips: please note that information you contributed to a shared trip (such as expenses you added) may remain visible to the other members of that trip even after you delete your account.
The App is intended for users aged 16 and over and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from, or show personalized ads to, anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact hello@vibeeverything.co.
Your data may be processed in countries other than where you live, including by Google. Where we transfer data internationally we use appropriate safeguards, such as the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, and the UK International Data Transfer Agreement. To request a copy of the safeguards, contact hello@vibeeverything.co.
Our legal bases under the GDPR / UK GDPR are: performance of a contract (to provide the App), consent (for personalized advertising and tracking — you can withdraw it any time), legitimate interests (only for security, fraud prevention, and basic service improvement), and legal obligation. You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, and port your data, and to withdraw consent. You may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office, ico.org.uk). Our EU and UK representatives are named in Section 1.
Depending on your state, you have rights to know, access, correct, and delete your personal information, and to opt out of its “sale”/“sharing” or use for targeted advertising. Using our trip and device data to show personalized ads is treated as “sharing” (and may be a “sale”) under California law. To exercise these rights, use “Your Privacy Choices” in the App’s Settings (no account required) or contact us. We honor Global Privacy Control and similar opt-out signals where state law requires it. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16.
| Category | Collected | “Shared” for targeted ads |
|---|---|---|
| Identifiers (user ID, device & advertising IDs) | Yes | Yes (with consent) |
| Account info (name, email) | If you sign in | No |
| Trip content (destination, dates, expenses) | Yes | Limited (destination, dates, trip type, interests — with consent) |
| Usage & diagnostics | Yes | Yes (with consent) |
We collect the data in Section 2 to operate the App, sync trips, improve the service, and show and measure ads. Providing your data is voluntary, but some features will not work without it. Your data may be transferred to our service providers, including Google, as data processors acting on our instructions. You may request access to and correction of your personal data, and you may opt out of personalized ads at any time, by contacting hello@vibeeverything.co or [FILL IN: Hong Kong-reachable contact]. We will not use your data for direct marketing, or provide it to others for their direct marketing, without first notifying you and obtaining your consent.
Collecting entity: Vibe Everything Company Limited. We collect the data in Section 2 for the purposes in Section 3; we use, retain, and transfer it for the duration of your use and as required by law, within the regions where our service providers operate, and you may decline to provide it (some features will then be unavailable). You may inquire about, request a copy of, correct, stop the processing of, or delete your personal data. Using your data for advertising requires your separate consent, which you give through the personalized-ads choice; you may refuse or withdraw it at any time, free of charge, and we will stop. We do not route Taiwan users’ data through mainland China.
We collect, use, and disclose your personal data with your consent and for the purposes notified in this policy. You may withdraw consent, and request access to or correction of your data, by contacting our Data Protection Officer (Section 1). You may also complain to the Personal Data Protection Commission (pdpc.gov.sg). We support data portability where required.
We process your personal data with your consent for the purposes above. You may withdraw consent, opt out of direct marketing, and request access or correction by contacting us (Section 1). Where required, we apply appropriate safeguards to cross-border transfers.
We rely on consent and other lawful bases under the PDPA. You may withdraw consent, object to direct marketing, and exercise your rights of access, correction, deletion, and portability by contacting us (Section 1). Our marketing communications include an opt-out.
We process your personal data based on your consent for specified purposes. You may withdraw consent and exercise your rights by contacting us (Section 1). Minors’ data is processed only with verifiable guardian consent.
We process your personal data with your consent and for the purposes above, which include automated processing for advertising and sharing with service providers such as Google. You may exercise your rights of access, correction, objection, and erasure by contacting our Data Protection Officer (Section 1), and may complain to the National Privacy Commission (privacy.gov.ph).
If you are in Korea (PIPA) or Japan (APPI), you may access and correct your personal data and withdraw consent, consistent with local law, by contacting us (Section 1).
The App is not currently offered to users in Vietnam. [FILL IN: remove this note and add a Vietnam section only once your cross-border transfer filings are in place.]
We may update this Policy. Material changes will be notified in the App and, where required, will ask for your renewed acceptance.
