This policy explains how Dennis & Sasha See the World handles information when you use our mobile app, including its TestFlight beta.

Information you provide
You can browse destination guides and create device-only trips without a traveler account.
If you create a My Travel Studio account, Firebase Authentication processes your email address, password, and account identifier to provide sign-in, email verification, password reset, and account management.
Your trip information may include destinations, travel dates, companion names, itineraries, map stops, addresses, reservation details, confirmation numbers, costs, notes, journal entries, and photos you choose to add.
If you submit a planning inquiry, we receive the information you enter, such as your name, contact details, destinations, dates, budget, travel preferences, and accessibility requirements. Please provide only information needed for your request, and avoid including payment-card numbers, passport numbers, or unnecessary sensitive information.
Device storage and cloud saving
Trip changes are saved locally on your device. Saved-guide selections are also stored locally.
Cloud saving is manual. Choosing “Save Trips to Cloud” uploads your account’s trip collection to Google Firebase. Choosing “Load Cloud Trips” retrieves your cloud trip collection on another device signed into the same traveler account.
Photo uploads work separately: choosing “Upload Photo” uploads the selected image immediately. Saving trips to the cloud afterward saves the photo’s association with your trip, caption, and date.
The app resizes and re-encodes uploaded photos without retaining the original image’s embedded location metadata. Your original photo remains unchanged in your photo library. Locations you type into captions, notes, or map stops are still part of the information you provide.
Personal trips and completed trips are not published as public destination guides. Cloud access is restricted through account-based permissions. This is not end-to-end encrypted storage; authorized service administration may permit access where needed to operate or support the service.
How information is used
We use information to provide and maintain the app, store and retrieve your trips, manage accounts, respond to planning inquiries and support requests, troubleshoot problems, and protect the service from misuse.
Planning inquiries are stored separately from personal traveler trips. An email notification alerts us that an inquiry has arrived so we can review it.
Service providers and external links
We use Google Firebase for authentication, cloud trip storage, photo storage, and supporting services. Google may process technical information, including IP addresses, device or browser information, and service logs, for operation and security.
Firebase privacy information:

Map displays and place searches use Apple’s map services. Search terms and related requests are processed by Apple to provide those features.
The app may open external booking sites, newsletter signup pages, social media pages, and other websites. Information you provide to those services is handled under their own privacy policies. Some external links may be affiliate links.
TestFlight testing
When you use a TestFlight version, Apple collects and shares beta-testing information with us, including crash reports, usage information, and feedback you submit. Feedback may include screenshots and other information you choose to provide.
Apple’s TestFlight privacy information:

Sharing
We use service providers to operate the features described above. If you export or share a trip document, the information in that document is shared with the recipients or services you choose.
We may also disclose information when required by applicable law or when necessary to investigate misuse or protect users and the service.
Retention and deletion
Cloud trip information and uploaded photos remain stored until you remove them or delete your traveler account.
Deleting a trip alone does not delete its uploaded photo files. Use “Delete Photo” to remove an uploaded image. Deleting a photo also affects other trip copies using the same image. Save the updated trip collection to the cloud afterward so your other devices can load the updated records.
You can delete your traveler account through Profile → My Travel Studio → Delete Account and Cloud Trips. This removes the account, its cloud trips and uploaded photos, and the account’s local trip cache on the device performing deletion. If deletion reports an error, follow the message and retry.
Account deletion does not automatically erase original device-only trips, saved guides, packing lists, exported documents, or copies already stored on other devices. Remove those copies separately.
Planning inquiries, support correspondence, and service-provider logs are separate records and are not automatically removed by deleting a traveler account. Contact us to request their deletion. Some records may need to be retained for applicable legal, security, or service-administration purposes, and provider backups or logs may remain until their retention periods expire.
Your choices
You can use device-only trip features without creating a traveler account, choose whether to upload photos or save trips to the cloud, edit or delete your trip information, and delete your traveler account.
For requests to access, correct, or delete information held by us, contact dennisandsashaseetheworld@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. Additional privacy rights may apply depending on where you live.
Security and processing locations
We use authenticated access and encrypted network connections for account and cloud features. No storage or transmission method can guarantee complete security.
Our service providers may process information in countries outside your country of residence.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app changes. The date at the top identifies the latest revision.
