Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 February 2026 · Effective: 6 February 2026

1. Who we are

Your Travel Companion is a mobile application published by Autopilot Labs (the "developer", "we", "us"), an independent software studio. You can reach us anytime at privacy@yourtravelcompanion.app.

This policy describes how the Your Travel Companion mobile application (the "App"), our website yourtravelcompanion.app, and any related services handle personal information.

2. What data lives on your device only

The following is created, stored, and encrypted locally on your device. It never leaves your phone unless you explicitly export or share it:

• Trip itineraries: destinations, dates, flights, hotels, activities, notes.
• Journal entries: text notes, voice memos, photos, timestamps.
• Vault documents: passport scans, boarding passes, visas, travel insurance, any file you store there.
• Location data used for trip-tagging: processed on-device only, never transmitted.
• App preferences and settings.

We have no technical ability to read, recover, or transmit this data. If you uninstall the App or wipe your device, it is permanently gone.

3. What data we may collect

We collect the minimum data required to operate the App and only as listed below.

3.1 Anonymous crash & diagnostic data (optional)

If you opt-in during onboarding, the App may send anonymous crash reports and basic diagnostic data (device model, OS version, app version, anonymized stack traces) to help us fix bugs. This data does not include your trip content, journal entries, vault files, location, name, email, or any identifier that can be tied back to you. You can disable this at any time in Settings → Privacy → Diagnostics.

3.2 Purchase data

If you purchase Companion Pro or a Day Pass, the transaction is processed by Google Play Billing. We receive only:

• A confirmation that the purchase succeeded.
• An anonymous purchase token used to validate your entitlement.
• The product purchased and the country of purchase.

We never receive your full name, payment card number, billing address, or email address from Google Play. Refer to Google's privacy policy for how Play Billing handles your payment information.

3.3 Live Flight Lookup (only when you use it)

When you tap "Look up flight" during an active Day Pass, the App sends only the flight number and date to a third-party flight data API to retrieve real-time status. No other personal information is transmitted. The query is not stored long-term by us.

3.4 Optional support correspondence

If you email us at support@, hello@, or privacy@yourtravelcompanion.app, we receive your email address and message contents so we can reply. We retain support emails for up to 24 months for service-quality purposes.

4. What we do not do

• We do not require you to create an account.
• We do not collect your name, email, phone number, or address.
• We do not collect or transmit your photos, journal entries, vault files, or itineraries.
• We do not track your location in the background.
• We do not show ads.
• We do not use behavioral advertising trackers, fingerprinting, or third-party analytics SDKs that profile users.
• We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with data brokers — full stop.
• We do not train AI models on your content.

5. Permissions the App requests

• Camera: only when you choose to scan a document into the Vault or take a journal photo. Photos go directly to local storage.
• Photo library: only when you choose to attach an existing photo to a journal entry.
• Storage: to save your encrypted database, journal media, and PDF exports on your device.
• Biometric / Face Unlock: to unlock the Vault. The biometric template never leaves your device's secure enclave.
• Network: required only for: app updates, optional crash reporting, Google Play purchases, and Live Flight Lookups during an active Day Pass.

You can revoke any permission at any time in your device settings.

6. Children's privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has used the App and contacted us, email privacy@yourtravelcompanion.app and we will delete any record.

7. International users

The App is offered worldwide. Because your trip data lives on your device, no cross-border data transfer of that data occurs. Any incidental data we hold (support emails, anonymous diagnostics) may be processed in the United States, the European Union, or New Zealand by us or our service providers, all of whom are bound by appropriate data-protection obligations.

8. Your rights

Because we do not hold a database of your personal trip content, "access, correction, and deletion" rights primarily apply within the App itself — you have full control to view, edit, export, or delete any item at any time. For any incidental data we do hold (e.g. a support email thread), you may request access or deletion at any time by emailing privacy@yourtravelcompanion.app. We will respond within 30 days.

Residents of the EU, UK, California, and other jurisdictions with comprehensive privacy laws have additional rights including the right to object, restrict processing, and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

9. Security

Vault contents are encrypted on-device using AES-256 and protected by your device biometrics. The application database is sandboxed by the operating system. Network calls use TLS 1.2 or higher. While no system is 100% secure, we follow modern Android security best practices.

10. Data retention

• On-device data: retained until you delete it or uninstall the App.
• Anonymous diagnostics (if enabled): retained up to 90 days.
• Purchase tokens: retained for the lifetime of your subscription plus 24 months for tax and dispute records.
• Support emails: retained up to 24 months.

11. Third-party services

The App uses the following limited third-party services. Each is invoked only when needed:

• Google Play Billing — to process purchases. Google Privacy Policy
• Google Play Services (crash reporting) — only if you opt in. Google Privacy Policy
• Flight data provider — only during an active Day Pass lookup. We send only the flight number and date.

12. Changes to this policy

If we update this policy, we will post the new version on this page and bump the "Last updated" date at the top. Material changes will be highlighted in-app at next launch.

13. Contact
