This Privacy Policy explains how Lorikeet Studio ("Lorikeet Studio", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, shares, protects, and deletes information in connection with the mobile application Wanderlust by Lorikeet, also known as Lorikeet Wanderlust or Wanderlust (the "App").
This Privacy Policy applies to both the Android and iOS versions of the App, including versions distributed through Google Play, Apple App Store, TestFlight, internal testing, closed testing, open testing, and production release channels.
The App provides travel planning, country information, travel checklists, sensor-based travel tools, partner links, advertising-supported content, account features, optional Social Club/chat features, profile features, and optional paid subscription features.
1. SUMMARY
This summary is provided for convenience. The full Privacy Policy below controls if there is any conflict.
- We collect information needed to run the App, provide travel features, operate accounts, enable chat features, process subscriptions, improve reliability, prevent abuse, and comply with platform and legal requirements.
- We use Firebase and Google services for authentication, database, cloud functions, file storage, app integrity, messaging, analytics, crash reporting, remote configuration, and app infrastructure.
- We support sign-in through Google and Apple, depending on platform availability and user choice.
- If you create a Social Club/chat profile, we collect profile details such as display name, photo, bio, age or age band, gender, country, approximate location or country presence information, subscription tier, and chat-related settings.
- Chat messages and chat metadata may be processed through our backend to deliver messages, enforce limits, prevent abuse, support reporting/blocking, and maintain safety features.
- We may collect location information when you use location-based features such as country presence, matching, compass/sensor tools, or nearby travel utilities.
- Some sensor data, such as compass, barometer, device motion, and location-derived direction information, may be used to provide travel tools. Where possible, sensor readings are used on-device and are not stored unless needed for a feature.
- We use ads, partner links, and affiliate/sponsored content. Third-party providers may process device identifiers, ad identifiers, approximate location, interactions, and usage data according to their own policies.
- We use Google Play Billing and Apple in-app purchase systems for subscriptions. We receive purchase status and transaction identifiers needed to verify entitlement; we do not receive full payment card details.
- We do not knowingly allow children to use the Social Club/chat features. The App, and especially Social Club/chat features, are intended for users who are at least 18 years old.
- You can request access, correction, deletion, or limitation of your data by contacting us at lorikeetstudio@outlook.com.
2. SCOPE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected or processed when you:
- install, open, browse, or use the App;
- create or use an account;
- sign in with Google, Apple, or another supported sign-in provider;
- create, update, delete, or view a Social Club/chat profile;
- send, receive, block, report, or delete chat-related content;

- participate in app testing, including TestFlight or Google Play testing programs.
This Privacy Policy does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites, app stores, payment processors, advertisers, travel partners, map providers, device manufacturers, operating system providers, or external links. Those third parties process information under their own privacy policies.
3. INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT
The categories below describe the information we may collect depending on how you use the App. Not every user will use every feature, and not every category applies to every user.
3.1 Account and Authentication Information
When you sign in, we may collect and process:
- Firebase Authentication user ID;
- email address associated with your Google or Apple account, if provided by the sign-in provider;
- display name and profile image from the sign-in provider, if provided and if used by the App;
- provider identifier, such as Google or Apple sign-in provider information;
- authentication tokens, refresh state, and session metadata handled by Firebase Authentication and platform SDKs;

- discoverability settings;
- notification preferences;
- blocked users, disconnected users, active chat relationship metadata, and report metadata;
- profile creation time, last active time, and retention/delete-after timestamps.
3.3 Chat Messages and Chat Metadata
If you use chat features, we may process:
- message text you send;

Chat features are designed to reduce misuse, limit spam, support blocking and reporting, and preserve safety. You should not share sensitive personal information, passport details, financial information, home address, hotel room, live location, or other private information with strangers through the App.
3.4 Profile Photos and Face Detection
If you upload a profile photo, we may process the image to:
- allow you to create or update a visible profile photo;

- perform on-device face detection to confirm that the profile picture contains a face, where this feature is enabled;
- store the uploaded profile photo in Firebase Storage or similar cloud storage;
- serve profile photos securely through owner-only storage access or short-lived signed URLs for matched chat users.
On-device face detection is used to validate that a selected profile photo is suitable for profile use. We do not use face detection to identify who you are, compare you against other people, create a biometric identity profile, or perform facial recognition. The App may process the selected image locally before upload. Uploaded profile photos may still be stored as user content if you choose to save them.

You can deny or revoke location permissions through your device settings. Some features may not work, may work less accurately, or may use fallback behavior if location permission is denied or unavailable.
3.6 Device Sensors and Travel Utility Data
The App may use device sensors and device capabilities for travel tools, including:
- compass heading;
- barometer or pressure readings, if available;
- motion or orientation data;
- location streams for direction and nearby information;
- camera or photo library access for profile photos, if you choose to use those features.

The App may process information related to your travel planning activity, such as:
- countries viewed or selected;
- countries marked as travelled;
- travel checklist items you add, remove, complete, or edit;
