A Traveler's Journal ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website at atravelersjournal.net and related services.
We collect the following information when you use our service:
We use the information we collect to:
Our service integrates with Google Photos to create and organize trip albums on your behalf. We access your Google Photos account only to create albums when you scan a QR code in your journal. We do not read, modify, or delete existing photos or albums unless explicitly initiated by you. Your photos remain in your Google account and are subject to Google's own Privacy Policy.
A Traveler's Journal's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Specifically, we only use Google user data to provide and improve user-facing features that are prominent in our application's user interface. We do not use this data for serving advertisements, and we do not allow humans to read this data unless we have your affirmative agreement, it is necessary for security purposes, to comply with applicable law, or our use is for internal operations and the data has been aggregated and anonymized.
Our website is hosted on Vercel, and account and trip data is stored in Supabase. Both providers encrypt data in transit (HTTPS) and at rest. We do not store your photos or Google Photos content on our servers. Your photo content remains in your Google account at all times.
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information only in the following circumstances:
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at the email below. Upon receiving a deletion request, we will delete your account data from our systems within 30 days, except where retention is required by law. Deleting your account does not delete your Google Photos albums — those remain in your Google account and can be managed through Google Photos directly.
Depending on your location, you have the right to:
The legal bases on which we process your personal data are your consent (for Google Photos access) and the performance of our service agreement with you (for account management).
California residents: We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Our service is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under this age. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.
We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction, including encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest through our database provider. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy on this page with an updated date.
