By using the App, you acknowledge this Policy.
2. High-level summary (plain language)
We do not operate a customer database on our own servers to store your personal profile, favorites, or trip plans.
Most App data stays on your device (for example, preferences and saved items stored locally on the phone).
We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand aggregate App usage.
If you use the AI trip planner, your trip planning inputs are sent over the internet to a Cloudflare Worker proxy and then to Google Gemini to generate a suggested itinerary. We do not intend to retain those prompts or outputs on servers we control; however, Google and Cloudflare may process such data in accordance with their own services and policies.
3. What information is processed and where
3.1 Information stored locally on your device
The App may store certain information only on your device using local storage mechanisms (for example, React Native AsyncStorage), including items such as:
App preferences (for example, language selection and profile mode)
Favorites and similar locally saved content you choose to keep in the App (for example, saved articles, hotels, restaurants, attractions, or saved trip plans)
This locally stored information is not transmitted to us as a stored record on our servers, because we do not operate that type of backend storage for the App’s core personal data described above.
Your responsibility: If you uninstall the App or clear App data, locally stored information may be deleted or become inaccessible.
3.2 Analytics (Firebase Analytics)
We use Google Firebase Analytics to collect usage and diagnostic information such as:
App events and interactions (for example, screen views and feature usage, depending on implementation)
Device and app technical metadata commonly collected by analytics SDKs (for example, device/OS information)
Firebase Analytics data is processed by Google under Google’s terms and privacy documentation applicable to Firebase/Google Analytics.
3.3 Location (if you grant permission)
If you enable location permissions, location features may use your device’s location on-device and/or through platform location services as needed to provide the relevant feature. We do not describe collecting GPS history on our own servers in this Policy, because we do not operate that storage; nevertheless, platform providers (Apple/Google) and any integrated SDKs may process technical data as part of normal device operation.
3.4 AI trip planning (Google Gemini via Cloudflare Worker)
The App includes an AI-assisted trip planner. If you choose to use it, the App sends your planning inputs (such as city, dates, trip type, interests, and output language) to a Cloudflare Worker endpoint, which forwards a request to Google’s Gemini API (for example, Gemini 2.5 Flash) to generate a suggested itinerary returned to your device.
Important: Even if we do not retain those inputs/outputs on servers we control, the information is still processed in transit by Cloudflare and Google as part of providing the AI service. Google’s AI/data practices are governed by Google’s applicable terms and policies.
3.5 Purchases / subscriptions (if applicable)
If the App includes paid features, purchases may be processed by Apple App Store and/or Google Play and related payment/subscription infrastructure (for example, subscription SDKs). Those platforms process purchase-related records according to their policies.
3.6 Support emails
If you email us at info@imtaahhut.com, we process your email address and message content to respond.
4. How we use information
We use information to:
Provide and operate App features
Improve stability and understand aggregate usage (Analytics)
Generate trip suggestions when you request the AI planner
Respond to support requests
Protect against abuse, fraud, or security issues (to the extent applicable)
5. Legal bases (where applicable)
Depending on your jurisdiction, processing may be based on:
Performance of a contract / steps prior to contract (providing the App and requested features)
Legitimate interests (security, product improvement, aggregate analytics), balanced against your rights
Consent where required (for example, permissions you grant on your device)
6. Sharing / recipients
We may rely on service providers that process data to operate the App, including:
Google (Firebase Analytics; and Gemini API for trip planning)
Cloudflare (Worker proxy used to call Gemini)
We do not sell your personal information as a traditional “sale of customer lists.”
7. Retention (our role)
We do not maintain a user database on our own servers for the core App data described in Section 3.1.
Analytics and platform providers may retain data according to their retention settings. AI providers may process requests according to their infrastructure logging and security practices.
8. Security
We use reasonable measures appropriate to the App architecture. No method is 100% secure.
9. Your rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, rectify, delete, restrict, object, or port data, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Because much data is local, you can often delete it by clearing App data or uninstalling the App. For requests to us, contact info@imtaahhut.com.
10. Children
The App is not directed to children under the age required by applicable law for independent consent. If you believe a child provided information to us directly, contact us.
11. International transfers
Providers may process data globally. Where required, appropriate safeguards may apply.
12. Changes
We may update this Policy by posting a revised version and updating the “Last updated” date.
