Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 25, 2026

Introduction

Planless ("the Service") is operated by Forgepath Software Development Services ("we", "our", or "us").

This policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information when you use the Planless website or the Planless mobile app.

The same Planless account and this policy apply to the website and the mobile app. Deleting the account in one place deletes it in the other.

The Service

The website lets you plan trips, save itineraries, and manage an account in the browser.

The mobile app uses that same account for trip sync, maps and transit lookups, weather, push alerts, and store purchases.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following information:

Account and profile

  • Name you save on your profile
  • Email address
  • Password you choose for email sign-in on the website
  • Profile photo you upload
  • Google account name and picture when you sign in with Google

Trips and itineraries

  • Destinations, dates, party size, budget, interests, and other trip inputs you enter
  • Generated itineraries and edits you save
  • Itinerary files you export, such as a PDF, slides, or a spreadsheet

Saved travel preferences

  • Optional preferences stored only while "Remember my travel preferences" is on
  • Pace, domestic or international, origin country, passport country, and usual airport
  • Adults, a count of children, and whether you travel with pets
  • Hotel and food budget, currency, interests, dietary notes, and places you have already seen

Turning that toggle off, or clearing the fields, deletes the stored preference fields.

Trip budget tracker

  • Amounts you log in the mobile app, including category, optional note, day, and currency
  • Editable per-day estimated plan amounts

Those entries are saved to your Planless account so they are still there if you reinstall the app.

Location information

  • Places and addresses you type, which we turn into map coordinates
  • Map, route, transit, nearby, and weather coordinates used to look up a trip
  • Live latitude and longitude the mobile app can send with a push registration during a live trip

The website does not ask for your phone or computer location.

Push notification tokens

  • Firebase Cloud Messaging token for the mobile app
  • Whether the phone is iOS or Android
  • Whether weather alerts and crowd alerts are on
  • Optional live trip, its title, the next stop, and whether that stop is outdoors

Technical and log data

  • IP address, used to limit how often itineraries can be generated
  • An identifier in anti-abuse counters
  • Whether the phone is iOS or Android, sent when the app registers for notifications
  • Hosting logs kept by our host, which can include the page requested and an IP address

Planless does not use a product analytics tool, and we do not build a profile of the pages or features you use.

Payment information

  • Checkout status, plan, amount, and the payment provider's customer or subscription id
  • Store product id and transaction id when a mobile purchase is recorded on the account

Card numbers are entered on the Lemon Squeezy or PayMongo page, and Planless does not store the full card number.

Sign-in Methods

In the app you can sign in with Apple (iPhone) or Google. On the website you can sign in with email and password or Google.

Email and password. On the website you can create an account with an email address and a password. We store that sign-in and send the confirmation and password-reset messages. We do not keep a separate copy of your password.

Google. When you sign in with Google, we receive the email address on that Google account, plus the name and picture Google shares. Your Google password stays with Google.

Apple. When you use Sign in with Apple on an iPhone, Apple can provide an email address, which may be a private relay address, and a name. Your Apple password stays with Apple.

Location Data

Trip planning uses the places you enter. We turn those places into map coordinates and ask map and routing providers for routes, nearby places, photos, and transit.

The mobile app can send coordinates for directions, transit, nearby search, and weather. During a live trip it can also send latitude and longitude with the notification registration so we can choose weather and crowd alerts.

Coordinates and place queries can be sent to:

  • Google Maps Platform, for geocoding, places, directions, and photos
  • HERE, for mobile transit routing
  • Mapbox, for mobile walking, driving, and cycling directions
  • NAVITIME, for transit in Japan
  • Open-Meteo, for a weather forecast at a latitude and longitude
  • Google Translate or Gemini, when route text is translated to English

A place or activity name can also be sent to YouTube when the website looks up a travel video.

Push Notifications

The mobile app can register a Firebase Cloud Messaging token on the account. That registration includes the token, whether the phone is iOS or Android, the alert switches, and any live-trip context described above.

That token is sent to Firebase Cloud Messaging to deliver weather and crowd alerts the account has turned on.

You can turn the alerts off in the app. Deleting the account deletes the notification registration immediately.

The website does not ask to send browser notifications.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • Provide and maintain the website and the mobile app
  • Create, save, and export travel itineraries
  • Sign you in and keep the account secure
  • Process subscriptions, credit packs, and store purchases
  • Send subscription confirmation email and account email
  • Deliver optional push alerts
  • Respond to messages sent to support
  • Limit abuse and troubleshoot failures
  • Comply with legal obligations

Legal Bases for Processing

If the GDPR or UK GDPR applies to your use of Planless, the bases below are the ones this policy relies on.

We rely on these bases:

  • Contract, to provide the account, trips, purchases, and support you request
  • Legitimate interests, to keep the service secure, rate-limit abuse, and fix failures
  • Legal obligation, where a payment processor keeps transaction records for tax or accounting law
  • Consent, for optional saved travel preferences and optional push alerts

You can turn saved travel preferences off on the account page, and you can turn push alerts off from the app. You can also email support to withdraw that consent or to object to processing that relies on legitimate interests.

Third-Party Processors

Supabase provides authentication, the database, and profile-photo storage. It holds the account email, sign-in, profile, trips, preferences, budgets, plan records, notification tokens, and photos you upload.

Vercel hosts the website and the API. Its request logs can include an IP address and the path that was requested.

Groq, Google Gemini, Together AI, and OpenRouter generate itinerary text. They receive the trip prompt, including destinations, dates, party size, budget, interests, and dietary notes. That prompt is the trip content.

Google Maps Platform turns places into map coordinates and returns places, directions, photos, and some translation of route text.

HERE returns mobile transit routes for the coordinates the app sends.

Mapbox returns mobile walking, driving, and cycling directions for the coordinates the app sends.

NAVITIME returns Japan transit routes for the coordinates the app sends.

Open-Meteo returns a weather forecast for a latitude and longitude. The weather request sends the coordinates.

Purchases in the app are processed by Google Play and the Apple App Store, and on the web by Lemon Squeezy and PayMongo, each under their own policies.

Lemon Squeezy and PayMongo take card details on their own payment pages. We keep the customer or subscription id, plan, and payment status they send us. We do not store the full card number.

Firebase Cloud Messaging, a Google service, delivers mobile push alerts using the device token.

Brevo sends the subscription confirmation email. That message can include the recipient name, email address, plan, billing interval, and subscription end date. Supabase sends the separate sign-up confirmation and password-reset messages.

Featurebase supplies the changelog widget on the website. We do not send your account email to Featurebase.

YouTube receives a place or activity name when the website looks up a travel video.

When hotel links are shown, Travelpayouts receives the destination, travel dates, and how many people are traveling.

Stay22 and Travelpayouts can change hotel and activity links on the website.

Klook partner links are created for some activities. The request is used to build an outbound activity link.

Information Sharing

We do not sell personal information.

We share information with the processors named in this policy so they can perform the service described for each of them.

We also share information with public authorities when the law requires it.

Data Retention

Your account, trips, preferences, budgets, purchase records, notification settings, and profile photo are deleted right away when the account is deleted.

Optional travel preferences are also deleted when you turn "Remember my travel preferences" off or clear those fields.

Cached trip text expires within 24 hours.

Anti-abuse counters are kept for up to 30 days.

Hosting logs are kept by our host for a limited period.

Payment records are kept by Lemon Squeezy, PayMongo, Google Play, and Apple for as long as tax law requires. Our own copy is deleted with the account.

Account Deletion

You can delete your account from the website or from the Planless app. The website and the app use the same login. Deleting your account in one place also deletes it in the other.

On the website:

  1. Sign in with your email and password, or with Google.
  2. Open your account menu and choose Profile. The page title is Account settings.
  3. Find Security & preferences.
  4. Choose Delete account.
  5. When you see "Delete your account?", choose Delete account again.

In the Planless app:

  1. Open the Account tab and scroll to the Account section at the bottom.
  2. Tap Delete account and read the explanation.
  3. Type DELETE and tap Delete my account.
  4. You'll be signed out and see "Your account was deleted."

The same steps, and what is deleted, are on Delete your account.

If you cannot use the website or the app, email support@planless-travel.online and ask us to delete the account. Include the email address on the account. We will delete your account within 7 days and reply to confirm.

Deleting your account does not cancel a Google Play or App Store subscription. Cancel it in the store.

If your website plan renews by card through Lemon Squeezy, cancel it from Manage billing on your account page before you delete. Deleting your account does not stop that renewal. PayMongo website plans are renewed by you, so they do not charge you again on their own after the account is gone.

Your Rights

You may:

  • Access the profile, saved trips, and billing history shown while you are signed in
  • Correct your name and travel preferences on the account page
  • Delete the account, as described on Delete your account
  • Ask for a copy of the account data we hold by emailing support@planless-travel.online
  • Export an itinerary file from the product when that export is offered for the trip
  • Withdraw consent for optional preferences and push alerts, or object to legitimate-interest processing, by emailing support
  • Complain to a supervisory authority

Anything that is not shown on the account page, including a copy of the whole account, is handled by email to support. The product can export an itinerary file, and it does not offer one download that contains every category of account data.

If Philippine data privacy law applies, you can complain to the National Privacy Commission. If the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, you can complain to the data protection authority where you live.

Children's Privacy

Planless isn't intended for children under 13 (or 16 where local law requires a higher age). If we learn an account belongs to a child, we delete it.

A trip can include how many children ages 2 and older are traveling with you. That count can be saved in optional travel preferences. The form asks for the count, not a child's name, email address, or separate account.

If you believe a child created a Planless account, email support@planless-travel.online and ask us to delete it.

Data Security

Supabase signs you in and stores your account so you can see your own information. Vercel hosts the site and serves it over HTTPS.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

International Processing

Our service providers may process data outside the Philippines, including in the United States. We use providers that offer standard data protection terms for international transfers.

Third-Party Websites

The Service links out to hotels, activities, maps, and other third-party sites. Those sites apply their own privacy practices.

Cookies

The website uses essential cookies to keep you signed in. Those cookies are set when you sign in and are removed when you sign out.

When hotel links are shown, we may use Travelpayouts for travel links. A travel link can include the destination, travel dates, and how many people are traveling. The website loads a Stay22 script from scripts.stay22.com and a Travelpayouts script from emrld.ltd. Those scripts can set their own cookies and can change some hotel and activity links on the website. The Planless app does not load them.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page is the latest revision. Continued use of the Service after an update is acceptance of the revised policy.
