Last Updated: 1 Jan, 2024.

Information Collection and Use

AppiPlan collects two types of information: voluntarily provided and automatically collected. Voluntarily provided information includes personal details you actively submit when engaging with our services and promotions, such as your name, email address, local ID, and potentially a photo of your ID. Automatically collected information is data sent by your devices as you interact with our services, including details about your usage, browser type, operating system, and location.

Specifically, when you register or use our services, we may require additional information related to your travel plans, such as destination, trip duration, and itinerary details. AppiPlan also gathers non-identifying information, which may include demographic data and other general data related to your use of our service. This information helps us improve user experience, optimize service functionality, and deliver targeted advertisements.

AppiPlan may utilize cookies, tracking pixels, and related technologies to facilitate these functions. Cookies are small files placed on your device that allow us to recognize repeat users and facilitate your ongoing access to and use of our site. They also enable us to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data for content improvement and targeted advertising.

We also receive information from third parties, which we may combine with the information you provide. All collected data is processed in accordance with this privacy policy, enhancing your experience and allowing us to provide tailored services. If there are changes to our data practices, we will update this policy and provide notice as required by law. By using AppiPlan, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. For any concerns or additional information requests, users are encouraged to contact AppiPlan directly.

Cookie Usage

At AppiPlan, we employ cookies to enhance your experience and improve our website's functionality. Cookies are small data files saved on your device by your web browser. They help us identify you as a returning visitor and retain your preferences, thus enabling personalized features and streamlined site navigation. For example, cookies prevent you from needing to log in every time you visit our website by remembering your session details. Our cookies also support the optimal performance of essential website functions, such as trip generation. While they are not crucial for accessing our website, disabling cookies might limit your ability to use certain features effectively.

We assure you that our use of cookies never involves storing personally identifiable information or compromising your privacy.

Log Data Collection

Whenever you access AppiPlan, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends, known as Log Data. This data includes your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, the specific pages of our service you visit, the time and date of your visit, and the duration of your time spent on those pages. Additionally, if an error occurs during your visit, we automatically gather details about the error and the conditions under which it happened. This may encompass technical information about your device and what you were attempting at the time of the error.

Please be aware that this Log Data, while not identifying you by itself, could potentially be combined with other information to identify individual users. We may use this comprehensive data to enhance service functionality and user experience.

User-Generated Content

The term "User-generated content" refers to any text, images, or videos that users willingly contribute for inclusion on our website or for redistribution across our social platforms. This content is tied to the user's account or the email address from which it was sent. Be aware that once your content is approved and published, it becomes publicly accessible. As such, it may be viewed by external entities and falls outside the protections of this Privacy Policy.

Securing User Data

At AppiPlan, we prioritize the security of your personal information. We employ a combination of technical, physical, and administrative safeguards to protect your data against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, and alteration. These measures include stringent access controls and security protocols that ensure only necessary personnel have access to your personal information.

Despite our efforts to secure data, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Thus, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot assure the absolute security of the information you transmit to us. You play a critical role in protecting your own personal data. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your account passwords and for controlling access to your email communications at all times.

Additionally, we adhere to the guidelines recommended by regulatory authorities to maintain the necessary security level based on the sensitivity of the personal data we process. This is to minimize the risks of data alteration, loss, or unauthorized access as much as possible, consistent with current technology standards.

By using AppiPlan's services, you acknowledge the inherent security limitations of online transactions and information processing and agree to assume responsibility for securing your personal information as described. We continually update and test our security technology and procedures to enhance data protection and ensure the integrity of our information management systems.

Data Retention Policy

AppiPlan retains personal information for as long as it is necessary to provide services to our users, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies. The retention period for personal information depends on its purpose and use within our service. For instance, personal information submitted for account creation is retained as long as the account remains active. Should the personal information no longer serve its initial purpose, or if a user requests deletion, we will securely delete or anonymize the information, unless we are obligated to retain it for legal, tax, or regulatory reasons, or for legitimate archival, research, or statistical purposes. AppiPlan conducts regular reviews of all retained personal information to ensure its storage is justified by business or legal needs.

At AppiPlan, we respect and protect your personal information by adhering to this Privacy Policy. You have several rights regarding the management of your data:

User Privacy Choices

At AppiPlan, users can control their privacy preferences and communication settings as described in our Privacy Policy:

  • Personal Information Choices: Users have the option not to provide personal information; however, this may limit access to certain or all services provided by AppiPlan.
  • Cookie Preferences: Users can manage cookies through their browser or device settings, which allow for deleting, disabling, or blocking certain cookies and tracking technologies. Restricting cookies may impact the functionality of our services, potentially limiting user experience on our site. Users might also be prompted to decide if they want the site to remember certain information, which will be respected based on user settings.
  • Account Information Management: For users with an account registered through Google, personal information can be reviewed and edited directly through Google's account settings. AppiPlan does not control these modifications.
  • Communication Preferences:
    • Marketing Communications: Users may receive marketing emails from AppiPlan about our services, as well as offerings from third parties. Users can opt out of receiving marketing communications by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in these emails.
    • Informational and Mandatory Communications: AppiPlan will send necessary communications regarding the services, along with any other information that the user requests. These are essential for the ongoing use of our services and include important notifications.

This structured approach ensures users can make informed decisions about their data and the interactions they have with AppiPlan.

Disclosure and Transfer of Personal Information

AppiPlan may disclose your personal information to various parties, including:

  • Our company's affiliates or subsidiary entities.
  • External service providers, such as IT service providers, data storage providers, server hosting entities, advertising networks, analytics providers, maintenance services, professional advisors, and payment system operators, to enable the provision of services.
  • Our employees, contractors, and/or related entities.
  • Existing or potential agents or business partners.
  • Credit reporting agencies, courts, tribunals, and regulatory authorities if you fail to fulfill payment obligations.
  • Courts, tribunals, regulatory authorities, and law enforcement officers as required by law, for legal proceedings, or to protect our legal rights.

We ensure that personal information is used solely for providing core platform services, communications, and enhancing user experience through targeted advertising and direct marketing efforts. This information may also be necessary for the functionality of our website and associated platforms.

Additionally, AppiPlan treats the security of your personal information with the utmost seriousness, employing both technical and physical measures to safeguard it against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, and alteration. Despite our efforts, the inherent nature of online communication means that no security measures can be guaranteed infallible.

Personal information retention is strictly for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in our Privacy Policy or as required for legal compliance or archival purposes. AppiPlan may also share non-identifying or aggregated data with third parties for business or analysis purposes.

Legal or business transfers, including mergers or acquisitions, may necessitate the sharing or transferring of personal information to third parties or new entity owners, always in compliance with this Privacy Policy. International transfers of personal data will comply with applicable legal frameworks, ensuring appropriate protections are in place.

Your continued interaction with our service implies consent to these practices unless specified otherwise. AppiPlan is committed to transparency and the careful handling of your data, adhering strictly to our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.

As a U.S.-based company, AppiPlan processes and stores user information primarily within the United States, although our service providers may operate and store data both in the U.S. and internationally. Due to differing data protection laws, personal data transferred to the U.S. from outside, particularly from the European Union and the European Economic Area (EU/EEA), is handled with enhanced safeguards to ensure compliance with privacy standards.

For users outside the United States, any personal information provided to AppiPlan is transferred to our U.S. servers for processing. AppiPlan implements robust measures, as detailed in our Privacy Policy, to protect this data consistent with legal requirements and our commitment to user privacy.

Our operations are centrally managed from our headquarters in Delaware, and we utilize various service providers to support website functionality and service delivery, processing data exclusively in locations that adhere to our stringent security protocols.

Transfers of personal information outside the EU/EEA are conducted under strict conditions. These include compliance with user instructions, legal obligations, or cooperation with international tourism partners, ensuring such transfers meet EU Commission-approved data protection standards.

Information Sharing Practices

AppiPlan ensures that access to your personal information is limited to authorized employees and contractors who need it to perform their job functions. We share your personal information with third parties only under specific conditions. This includes engaging service providers, contractors, or vendors to facilitate services such as analytics, marketing, customer communication, database management, and reservation services. These services may involve transferring your information to third-party websites for trip planning and execution.

Business Transitions

In the event of a significant business change such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or the unlikely scenario of bankruptcy, user information, including your personal data, may be among the transferred assets. By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your information under these circumstances. The acquiring entity would then be permitted, under applicable laws, to continue utilizing your personal information according to the terms of this policy, inheriting the rights to your data as specified herein.

External Link Disclaimer

Our website features links to external sites not under our control. Clicking on a third-party link will direct you to that third party's website. While we link to external websites, this does not imply an endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation with these third parties. We do not govern their content, privacy, or security practices. These sites may use their own cookies, collect data, or solicit personal information. We advise you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit from our links, as we bear no responsibility for their content or privacy practices.

Children's Online Privacy

AppiPlan does not design its products and services for children under the age of 13. We do not intentionally gather personal information from children who are under 13 years old.

We collect and utilize your personal data solely for valid reasons. We ensure that the personal information gathered is essential for delivering the services you require.

Updates to Our Privacy Policy

We may also ask for your consent or offer options to opt in or opt out of certain uses of your personal information, depending on the nature of the changes and as required by applicable laws.
