Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 2026

TripTales respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how TripTales collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the TripTales mobile application and related services.

Information We Collect

TripTales may collect or access travel-related information that you choose to provide or authorize, including:

TripTales only accesses information that is necessary to provide the app’s user-facing travel planning, memory organization, and storybook features.

Google Calendar Access

When you choose to connect your Google account, TripTales may access Google Calendar event data that you explicitly authorize through the Google OAuth consent process.

The Google Calendar data TripTales may access includes calendar event information such as event titles, dates, times, locations, descriptions, and other travel-related calendar details.

TripTales uses Google Calendar data only to provide user-facing travel planning and itinerary import features. For example, TripTales may use authorized calendar event information to help import travel plans into the app, organize trip schedules, and create itinerary views for the user.

TripTales does not access Google Calendar data unless you choose to connect your Google account and grant permission. You may disconnect Google access or stop using Google Calendar import features at any time.

Artificial Intelligence and Third-Party AI Services

TripTales does not use an in-house or self-hosted artificial intelligence or machine learning model. TripTales may use standard commercial third-party AI service providers, currently Anthropic Claude API, to support user-facing AI-assisted features such as travel planning assistance, itinerary organization, memory summaries, and storybook-related content generation when requested or authorized by the user.

TripTales does not use Google Calendar data, Google Workspace API data, or any raw or derived Google user data to train generalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models.

TripTales does not transfer Google user data to third-party AI services for the purpose of training generalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models. Any AI-assisted processing is limited to providing or improving user-facing TripTales features that the user requests or authorizes.

TripTales does not transfer Google user data to third-party AI services that use submitted content to train generalized AI or machine learning models.

How We Use Information

TripTales uses information to provide and improve user-facing app features, including:

TripTales does not use Google user data for advertising. TripTales does not use Google user data for personalized ads, retargeting, or interest-based advertising.

TripTales does not sell Google user data or personal information.

TripTales does not use Google Calendar data, Google Workspace API data, or any raw or derived Google user data to train generalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models.

Google API Limited Use Disclosure

TripTales’ use and transfer of information received from Google Workspace APIs, including Google Calendar APIs, will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Information received from Google Workspace APIs is used only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and only to provide user-facing features that the user requests or authorizes.

TripTales limits its use of Google user data to providing or improving user-facing features that are prominent in the TripTales application. TripTales does not sell Google user data, does not use Google user data for advertising, and does not use Google user data to train generalized AI or machine learning models.

The use and transfer of raw or derived user data received from Google Workspace APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Data Storage and Retention

TripTales stores user information only as needed to provide the requested travel planning, memory organization, and storybook features.

Google Calendar data imported into TripTales may be stored as part of the user’s travel plans or itinerary content so that the user can view and organize the trip inside the app.

Users may delete imported trip data, travel memories, photos, notes, and storybook content from within the app where available. Users may also request deletion of their data by contacting [email protected].

Data Sharing

TripTales does not sell personal information.

TripTales does not sell, rent, or transfer Google user data to advertising platforms, data brokers, information resellers, or other third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

TripTales does not share Google user data with third parties except when necessary to provide the app’s user-facing features, comply with applicable law, protect users, or respond to a user’s support request.

If service providers are used to operate TripTales features, they are permitted to process user data only as necessary to provide those features on behalf of TripTales and not for their own advertising, independent profiling, or generalized AI model training purposes.

When AI service providers are used, they may process user data only to provide the user-facing AI-assisted feature requested or authorized by the user. TripTales does not permit AI service providers to use Google user data for advertising, independent model training, or building generalized AI or machine learning models.

Photos, Memories, and Storybook Content

TripTales allows users to add photos, notes, and memories to create travel records and storybooks. Users control what photos, notes, and memory content they choose to add to the app.

Parents or guardians may choose to include family or child-related travel memories in the app. Users are responsible for ensuring they have the right to add and use any photos or content they provide.

Anonymous Novel Reading Analytics / 匿名小說閱讀統計

當您閱讀 TripTales 官網上的公開小說頁面(triptalesfamily.com/novel)時,我們可能收集匿名閱讀分析事件,例如開啟章節、閱讀進度、點擊下一章或分享,以了解內容成效並改善閱讀體驗。

我們使用瀏覽器 localStorage 中的隨機 UUID 作為匿名識別,並在單次瀏覽工作階段中使用 sessionStorage 的隨機 UUID;不使用 Cookie,也不收集姓名、電子郵件、GPS 或其他可直接識別身分的資料。若您的瀏覽器開啟「請勿追蹤(DNT)」,我們不會送出這些小說分析事件。

小說分析事件資料不儲存 IP 位址。我們也不在小說分析事件紀錄中保存完整 referrer URL 或完整 user-agent 字串。資料僅用於內部內容分析,不對外公開個別讀者資訊。

When you read the public TripTales novel pages at triptalesfamily.com/novel, we may collect anonymous reading analytics events such as chapter opens, reading progress, next-chapter clicks, and share clicks to understand content performance and improve the reading experience.

We use a random UUID stored in browser localStorage as an anonymous identifier and a separate random UUID in sessionStorage for the current browsing session. We do not use cookies and do not collect names, email addresses, GPS location, or other directly identifying personal information. If your browser sends Do Not Track (DNT: 1), we do not send these novel analytics events.

TripTales novel analytics event data does not store IP addresses. We also do not retain full referrer URLs or full user-agent strings in novel analytics event records. This data is used only for internal content analysis and is not published in a way that identifies individual readers.

Data Security

TripTales uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to help protect user information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, but TripTales works to protect user information using reasonable safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information.

User Choices and Control

Users may choose whether to connect Google Calendar. Users may also choose what travel plans, photos, notes, and memories they add to TripTales.

Users may revoke Google account access through their Google Account permissions page. After access is revoked, TripTales will no longer be able to access new Google Calendar data unless the user reconnects the account and grants permission again.

Users may delete app content where available in the app or contact TripTales support to request assistance with data deletion.

Children’s Privacy

TripTales is designed for family travel planning and memory organization. The app is intended to be used by parents, guardians, or adults who choose to manage family travel memories.

TripTales does not knowingly require children to connect a Google account or authorize Google Calendar access. Parents or guardians control the family travel content they choose to add to the app.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

TripTales may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date above. Continued use of TripTales after an update means you acknowledge the updated Privacy Policy.

網站使用分析 / Website usage analytics

自 2026 年 9 月起,品牌首頁記錄頁面開啟、下載連結點擊、旅伴模式切換、區段標題進入畫面與社群/小說連結點擊,用來改善網站。事件只含預先定義的入口、模式、語言、螢幕尺寸類別及來源類別;每次頁面載入使用新的隨機識別碼,僅用於該次頁面的彙總,不使用 Cookie 或持久識別碼,也不與 App 帳號或安裝資料串接。

網站分析事件不保存 IP、完整來源網址、網址查詢內容、瀏覽器識別字串、姓名、照片或旅行內容。分析儲存在 NAS 的非公開目錄,只供內部分析。啟用「請勿追蹤」DNT 或 Global Privacy Control 時,不傳送這些事件。網站與網路基礎服務仍可能依其正常運作記錄連線資訊。

Since September 2026, the homepage measures page loads, download-link clicks, travel-mode changes, section-heading visibility, and social or story-link clicks. Events contain only predefined placement, mode, language, screen-size and source categories. A new random ID is created in memory for each page load; no cookies or persistent identifiers are used for these events, and they are not linked to app accounts or installations.

These analytics records do not store IP addresses, full referrer URLs, query strings, user-agent strings, names, photos or travel content. They are stored outside the public web root on our NAS for internal analysis. Homepage analytics respects Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Normal infrastructure connection logs may still be produced by the hosting and network services.
