1. Introduction

Atlas ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Service").

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Account Information: Email address, display name, and authentication credentials when you create an account.
• Trip Data: Trip titles, descriptions, destinations, itineraries, events, and preferences you create or input into the app.
• User Preferences: Travel preferences including dietary restrictions, accessibility needs, pace preferences, budget settings, and activity interests.

4. AI-Generated Content

Atlas uses artificial intelligence to generate trip itineraries and suggestions. These AI-generated itineraries are suggestions only and do not constitute guaranteed travel plans. We process your trip data and preferences through our AI provider to generate personalized recommendations. Your trip data is sent to our AI provider solely for the purpose of generating itineraries and is not used to train AI models.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely using Supabase, a cloud database platform. We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption at rest and in transit, authentication via JWT tokens, and regular security audits. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: With trusted third-party services that help us operate the app (hosting, AI processing, analytics).

• Export: Export your trip data through the app's sharing features.

Atlas is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.
