What Travel Pal does

All cookies use SameSite=Lax and Secure on HTTPS. No cookie data is sent to any server — cookies are read and written entirely in your browser.
Analytics
Travel Pal uses PostHog (EU-hosted at eu.i.posthog.com) for anonymous usage analytics. PostHog is configured in cookieless mode ("memory" persistence) with session recording disabled. No personal identifiers are collected. No analytics cookies are set. Data is retained on PostHog EU servers per their privacy policy.
IP geolocation
On your first visit (when no destination cookie exists), the app calls ipapi.co to detect your country and pre-select the nearest travel destination. This sends your IP address to ipapi.co (a third-party service). The request has a 5-second timeout. No result is stored server-side. On subsequent visits your saved destination cookie is used instead.
If you prefer not to use geolocation, simply select a destination manually — this sets the cookie and skips geolocation on all future visits.
Data we do not collect
- No account, email, or name
- No location beyond country-level (geolocation API not used)
- No microphone or camera access
- No payment data
- No data sold or shared with advertisers
Your rights (GDPR)
Under GDPR you have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data. Since Travel Pal stores no personal data server-side, you can exercise these rights locally by clearing cookies in your browser settings.
