1. Who we are

Trip Tracker Pro (“the app”) is developed and maintained by Masikati Studios (“we”, “us” or “our”). Our goal is to help users manage trip budgets, expenses and related travel information in a practical, privacy-respecting way.

2. Information we collect

Depending on how you use Trip Tracker Pro, we may collect:

• Account information (where sign-in is enabled): if you sign in with a third-party provider (such as Google), we may receive your name, email address and basic profile information as provided by that service.
• Trip & expense data: details you enter about trips (names, dates, budgets, currencies) and expenses (categories, amounts, notes, attachments such as receipt images, locations if you choose to add them).
• Device & usage data: anonymised or aggregated analytics about how the app is used (for example, screens visited or basic performance metrics), which helps us improve stability and usability.
• Location data (optional): only where you grant permission and explicitly choose to record location alongside an expense or trip.

3. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and maintain the Trip Tracker Pro app and related services.
• Allow you to create, store and organise trips, expenses and attachments.
• Support optional features such as cloud backup, sync and exporting reports (where these are available and enabled).
• Improve app performance, reliability and user experience.
• Communicate with you about important updates, changes or support matters where appropriate.

4. Legal bases for processing (where applicable)

Depending on your location, our processing of your information may be based on:

• Your consent (for example, when you enable analytics or optional permissions such as location).
• Performance of a contract (providing you with the app features you expect when you choose to use Trip Tracker Pro).
• Legitimate interests (such as improving, securing and monitoring the app to ensure it runs safely and effectively).

5. Cloud sync, backups and storage

Trip Tracker Pro is designed as offline-first: your data is stored locally on your device by default. Where cloud sync or backup features are enabled, your data may be securely transmitted to remote servers or trusted third-party providers.

We aim to keep your data safe and available but cannot guarantee that any service will be error-free or accessible at all times. You are encouraged to maintain your own independent backups of any critical information.

6. Sharing of information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: with trusted third parties who help us operate the app (for example, authentication providers, hosting and analytics), who are required to protect your information and use it only on our instructions.
• Legal requirements: where we are required to do so by law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.
• Protection of rights: where necessary to protect our rights, privacy, safety, property or that of our users or the public.
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition or similar event, subject to appropriate safeguards.

7. Data retention

We keep your data for as long as it is needed to provide the app and related services, or as required by law. You may remove local data by deleting trips and expenses within the app, or by uninstalling the app from your device.

Where cloud sync is used, you may contact us to request deletion of associated cloud data, subject to any legal obligations we may have to retain certain records.

8. Your rights and choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as:

• Accessing the personal information we hold about you.
• Requesting correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Requesting deletion of your data in certain circumstances.
• Objecting to or restricting certain types of processing.
• Withdrawing consent where processing is based on your consent.

Many aspects of your data (trips, expenses, attachments) can be managed directly within the Trip Tracker Pro app. For other requests, please contact us using the details provided below.

9. Children’s privacy

Trip Tracker Pro is not specifically directed at children. If you believe that we have collected personal information about a child without appropriate consent, please contact us so that we can review and remove the information where required.

10. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. However, no system can be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

11. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and may provide additional notice within the app or on the website. Your continued use of Trip Tracker Pro after changes have been published means you accept the updated Policy.
