Effective November 11, 2026.
The Hasty Traveler is operated by Hasty Holdings LLC. Contact: hastyholdings@yahoo.com.
This policy covers the The Hasty Traveler app on iPhone, Android and the web. It does not cover other apps or websites we link to.
What we collect
When you sign in. Your email address and password if you sign up with email, or your name and email if you sign in with Google. We also record when you signed in.
Your profile. The name you choose to show, an optional profile photo, and your preferred language.
Everything you type in. Bookings — trip name, type, provider, destination, dates and times, confirmation numbers, venue, cost, notes, and the time zone you set. Travel documents — type, label, expiry date, number and notes. Packing lists. Journal entries and their photos. Reviews and their photos. Budgets and expenses. Emails of people you invite to a trip. Trip links you choose to share. Feature suggestions you send us.
Photos. Journal photos and review photos are private — only you can see them. Nothing you upload is shown to other travelers.
Location. We ask for your location only when you tap a feature that needs it: "Near Me", sharing your position with a friend, or asking the planner for nearby spots. Your coordinates are sent to Google to look up places. A rounded, approximate version (about 100 metres) is cached for 24 hours to speed up repeat lookups. We never track you in the background.
Purchases. If you buy Premium, we store the subscription and customer identifiers, the product, its status, and start/end dates. On iPhone we store Apple's transaction identifiers. We never see or store your card number.
What we do not collect
No analytics trackers. No crash-reporting service. No contacts. No call log. No phone number. No background location.
Who we share it with
| Service | What it receives | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Google Places | Your approximate coordinates and the destination names you search | Near Me results, map links, provider logos |
| AI service (runs our trip planner and adjuster) | The trip details you ask it to plan or change | Generating and adjusting itineraries |
| Open-Meteo | Destination names | Weather forecasts |
| Frankfurter | Currency codes | Exchange-rate lookups |
| Paddle | Subscription details | Premium checkout on web and Android |
| Apple | Purchase transactions | Premium checkout on iPhone |
| Google AdMob | Device advertising identifier, when ads are on | Showing ads |
We do not sell your personal information.
Ads
The app uses Google AdMob to display ads in the free version. AdMob may use a device advertising identifier to serve ads, and on iPhone you will be asked whether to allow tracking. You can reset or limit the identifier in your phone's settings, and Premium removes ads.
How long we keep things
Your bookings, documents, journal and reviews stay until you delete them or delete your account. Cached location lookups expire after 24 hours. Reference exchange rates are fetched on demand and are not transaction rates.
Your choices
- Edit or delete any booking, document, journal entry, review or expense inside the app.
- Revoke a trip link you shared at any time.
- Turn reminders off per booking.
- Delete your whole account (below).
Deleting your account
In the app: open Account Settings → Delete Account. This removes your bookings, documents, packing lists, journal entries and photos, reviews, trip shares, expenses and subscription record.
By email: write to hastyholdings@yahoo.com from the address you signed up with and say "delete my account." We will confirm within 30 days.
Your Premium subscription cancels separately. On iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → The Hasty Traveler → Cancel. On web or Android: use the unsubscribe link in your Paddle receipt email.

Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we will update this page and its date.
