Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 22, 2026

Sojourny ("we", "our", "the app") is a collaborative travel trip planning app. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how we handle it.

1. Data We Collect

Account information — When you sign up we store your email address and display name. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email, and profile photo from Google.

Trip data — Trips, segments (flights, hotels, activities, etc.), notes, and files you create or upload.

Location data — Place names and coordinates you add to segments. The app does not track your live location.

Airport comments — Comments you post on airport pages are visible to all users.

Files — Documents and images you upload to segments are stored in Firebase Storage.

Usage and diagnostics — We automatically collect crash reports, performance data, and anonymous usage analytics to improve app stability and understand how features are used. This includes device type, operating system version, app version, and error stack traces. It does not include trip content or personal messages.

2. How We Use Your Data

• To provide and operate the app's trip planning features.
• To share trip data with people you invite to collaborate.
• To send transactional emails (e.g. trip invitations).
• To monitor app stability, diagnose crashes, and fix bugs.
• To understand feature usage and improve the app experience.

3. Third-Party Services

We use the following services, each with their own privacy policies:

4. Data Sharing

5. Data Storage and Security

All data is stored in Google Firebase infrastructure. Data is transmitted over HTTPS. Access to trip data is restricted through Firestore security rules to trip owners and invited participants.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

Your data is kept as long as your account exists. You can delete individual trips and segments at any time. To delete your account and all associated data, see our account deletion instructions.
