| Data | Where | Who sees it |
|---|---|---|
| Trips, activities, expenses, checklists, documents | on your device and (with an account) transferred encrypted to the cloud (Google Firebase; the database is hosted in Frankfurt, Germany) | you and your fellow travellers |
| Private activities and private checklist (group trip) | device + cloud | only you |
| Own expenses in group trips | only on your device | only you |
| Participant details (emergency contact, allergies …) | encrypted on the device + cloud | you, linked parents, trip leaders – deleted automatically after the trip |
| Travel documents (passport, ID …) | only on your device, encrypted | only you |
| Location memory | only on your device | only you |
| Profile (name, photo) | cloud | people you share a trip with |
AI features: when importing a booking or using the travel assistant, the content in question is sent to an AI service for processing. ID documents from the vault are never sent to an AI – their text recognition runs on the device.
Ads and location: ads are requested without your trip data. The app only uses your location when you need it (e.g. “Save here”, nearby search).

If you join a group trip without an account, Explority creates an anonymous account in the background. The group trip works with it; your own trips stay on the device only, and purchases, AI features and groups are disabled. If you register later (email, Google, Apple), all memberships are kept.
Settings → Sign out removes your account's data from the device; it remains in the cloud. Pending changes are sent first.
Settings → Delete account deletes your account permanently:
You must confirm the deletion; for security the app may ask for your password or Google sign-in again. Please cancel a running subscription separately in the App Store or Google Play – deleting your account doesn't end it automatically.
You can view and delete your participant details in group trips at any time (“Delete my data in this trip”). For further requests please contact the office named in the privacy policy.
