We care about your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, and how you can manage your data when using intrip. This includes information used to verify your eligibility to use the platform, such as your birth month and year.

User-generated content (e.g., photos, text posts, saved locations)

Basic technical data (e.g., IP address, browser type, device information)

We apply technical and organizational security measures to protect your information, including:
-
Encryption of data where appropriate

These third parties may collect and process certain information as part of their normal operations. We only work with providers that apply reasonable and appropriate security measures.
However, we cannot guarantee the practices of third-party providers beyond our control. Users acknowledge that their use of features powered by these services is at their own discretion and subject to the third parties’ respective privacy policies.
