What we collect
- Account data — your name, email address, and password (stored as a bcrypt hash; we never see the plain text).
- Trip content — destinations, dates, travelers, itineraries, checklists, notes, and any preferences you type in (for example dietary or accessibility notes). This is the product; it's stored so your trips exist.
- Sharing data — the email addresses you invite to a trip, so we can deliver the invitation.
- Documents you upload — hotel confirmations, tickets, and similar files you attach to a trip, stored privately in our cloud storage.
- Quiz scores — your Travel Trivia results, kept for your personal bests.
We do not collect precise device location, contacts, advertising identifiers, or analytics profiles. The mobile apps are thin wrappers around this website and collect nothing extra.
How trip planning uses AI
When you ask Wanderply to build an itinerary or suggest day trips, the trip details you entered (destination, dates, pace, preferences) are sent to our AI providers — currently Anthropic and Perplexity — to generate the plan. These inputs are trip-planning text, not your account credentials. We don't send your email address or password to AI providers.
Cookies
We use a session cookie to keep you signed in and a CSRF token to protect forms. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies — there are no ads.
Third-party services
- Hosting & storage — Amazon Web Services (servers, database, file storage) in the United States.
- Email — Amazon SES sends invitations and account emails.
- Images — trip and quiz images load from public CDNs (Pexels, Unsplash, Pixabay, Wikimedia, flagcdn, Simple Icons). Those requests carry your IP address like any image load.
- Geocoding — place names on your itinerary (not your location) are looked up via Google Places or OpenStreetMap Nominatim to pin them on maps.
What we never do
- No selling or renting your data. Ever.
- No ads and no ad tracking.
- No reading your trips for anything other than showing them to you and the people you shared them with.
Sharing and visibility
Your trips are private to you and the people you explicitly share them with. If you create a public share link, anyone with that link can view that trip until you revoke the link.
Data retention and deletion
Deleted trips are soft-deleted first (so you can recover from mistakes) and then removed. To delete your account and all of its data, use the account settings or email us — we'll remove it.
Children
Wanderply is a general-audience trip planner intended for adults planning family travel. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13; accounts are meant to be created by adults.
