TourAI ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you use our TourAI mobile application ("the App"). By using the App, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Personal Information

When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and any other information you provide (e.g., birthday, travel preferences, and profile information). You may choose to upload a profile picture, cover photo, and share photo memories from your trips. This information is stored on your account and may be visible to other users. You may provide details such as destinations, travel dates, itineraries, and whether you are a local in a current city. You can also edit or delete your trips at any time.

1.2 Device Information

We collect device information such as device model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers through tools like Google Analytics to help improve our services. To offer a personalized experience (for example, suggesting nearby attractions or connecting locals with travelers), the App may request access to your location. You can enable or disable location services at any time in the Location Settings screen. If enabled, location data is used solely for enhancing your experience and is subject to the security measures described below.

1.3 Usage and Communication Data

When you use features such as Travel Chat or post on the world map canvas, the content you submit (messages, photos, and other posts) is collected and stored. These features may be accessible by other users, and you are responsible for the content you share. The App may ask you to allow notifications. Your choices regarding notifications (on/off) are recorded to tailor the App's communication with you. You may optionally provide additional data such as your birthday or other personal details when editing your profile.
