User-Generated Content: We store destinations you add, ratings, comments, votes, travel notes, budget information, expense data, and any other content you create within the application.

Geolocation Data: With your explicit consent, we collect your approximate location to personalize flight cost estimates. You can decline or revoke this permission at any time through your browser settings.

Usage Data: We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Service, including pages visited, features used, timestamps, and achievement activity. This data is used to improve the application.

We use the information we collect to: provide and maintain the EscapeWish service; personalize your experience (such as cover images, AI-generated research, trip itineraries, and price estimates); facilitate collaboration with your travel party members; send in-app notifications about party activity; improve, troubleshoot, and optimize the Service; respond to feedback and support requests; and enforce our Terms of Service.

4. Third-Party Services

EscapeWish integrates with the following third-party services:

Google OAuth: We use Google Sign-In for authentication. Google's use of your data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Anthropic (Claude AI): We send destination names and general travel queries to Anthropic's API to generate research, itineraries, and price estimates. No personally identifiable information is included in these requests.

Unsplash: We use the Unsplash API to provide cover images for destinations. Unsplash's terms are governed by Unsplash's Privacy Policy.

BigDataCloud: If you grant location permission, we use BigDataCloud's reverse geocoding API to determine your nearest city for flight cost estimates. Only coordinates are sent; no personal identifiers.

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

Party Members: Content you create (destinations, ratings, comments, votes, suggestions, budget data) is visible to all members of your travel party. This is a core feature of the collaborative planning experience.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers.

We may disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, or to enforce our Terms of Service.

6. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on secured servers. We use HTTPS encryption for all data in transit. While we implement commercially reasonable security measures, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
