  • Traulo Privacy Policy v12archivedMaterial change

    Effective

    Updated for the Plans tab. New §2.13 explains planning together: who can join a plan, what members see of each other, and the plan's activity and undo history. New §2.14 explains AI trip planning: what we send to Anthropic, what we never send, and why you should not type health or other sensitive details into a request. New §2.15 explains community places: counts of how many published guides stop at a place, never who. New §2.12 explains booking a hotel in the app: the booking holder's and guests' details go to our booking partner Nuitée (LiteAPI) and the hotel and are not stored on our servers; the card never reaches us; the hotel and Nuitée are responsible for their own part. §2.3 covers private plans, walks and the live trip view (your location stays on your device). §5 adds Nuitée, the hotel and OpenStreetMap; §7 adds retention for bookings (10 years, accounting) and plan history. §2.1: profiles of accounts created from this version's effective date are public by default.

    Effective 2 September 2026

    New disclosure of feed and viewing activity: for each public vlog or guide shown to you we record impressions, watch time, whether you finished it and whether you opened it — used to order your own feed and, in aggregate across all viewers, to score how well a post holds attention. One row per viewer per post, deleted after 90 days, never shown to other users and never used for advertising; the telemetry opt-out does not cover it. §2.8 adds the public "Top travellers" ranking and the weekly Editor's choice, §4 describes the ranking algorithm and records that none of it is a solely automated decision under GDPR Article 22(1), and §5 notes the Editor's-choice blurb sent to Anthropic.

    Effective 20 August 2026

    Retention re-scoped to the public-storage tier: the free 1 GB stores publicly shared vlogs, kept for as long as they remain publicly shared. The lapse row now preserves public vlogs only (newest first, up to the allowance); private vlogs without a paid plan stay on your device and are not uploaded.

    Rebrand: AutoVlog is now Traulo. Website www.traulo.com, support [email protected]. No substantive changes to data practices.
