Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 6, 2026

Waynia ("we", "our", or "us") values your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use the Waynia mobile app ("the App") available on Google Play and the App Store, including premium subscriptions and in-app purchases.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you sign in using Google or Apple, we collect your name, email address, and profile photo. We also record your authentication provider, account creation date, last sign-in date, and sign-in frequency for account security purposes.

Trip Data

Trip plans you create, edit, or delete, and related travel preferences. This includes daily itineraries, destination coordinates, hotel and restaurant recommendations, transport details, and budget breakdowns.

Chat Data

Messages exchanged with the AI travel assistant, powered by Google Gemini. Your queries are sent to Google's Gemini API for processing. Complete conversation histories are stored to provide continuity and may be used to improve AI features.

Location Data

With your permission, we access your precise (GPS) or approximate (network-based) location to show nearby places, calculate distances, and provide personalized travel recommendations. On iOS, we may request "Always" or "When In Use" location access. You can change this at any time in your device settings. We do not continuously track your location in the background.

Usage Data

We track how you use app features, including the number of trips generated, chat messages sent, multi-location trips created, nearby places searched, and trip history views. This data is used to enforce usage limits for free accounts and to improve the app.

Device & Crash Data

Device type, operating system, and app usage statistics. We use Firebase Crashlytics to collect crash reports, error logs, and navigation data (such as the current screen at the time of an error) to diagnose and fix issues.

Notification Data

With your permission, we may send push notifications about your trips, special offers, and travel updates. You can control notification permissions in your device settings.

Subscription & Payment Data

All subscription and payment transactions are processed securely via Google Play or the App Store. We do not collect or store your credit/debit card or direct payment details. We receive information from Google or Apple regarding your subscription status (such as active, canceled, or expired), purchase dates, transaction identifiers, and the type of subscription to provide premium features and manage your access.

Preferences Data

Your language, currency, and notification preferences are stored to personalize your experience.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to:

• Provide and improve app features (trip planning, AI chat, maps, nearby places, premium content, and subscription management).

• Local data (language preference, onboarding status) is stored on your device using local storage.
• Trip plans and chat histories are stored indefinitely until you delete them or delete your account.
• When you delete your account, your data is archived temporarily for a limited period for recovery purposes, after which it is permanently deleted.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your data, including secure API connections (HTTPS), Firebase security rules, and encrypted authentication tokens. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
