3. How We Use Information
We may use information to:
- Create, authenticate, and secure your WegoWhile account.
- Provide profiles, destinations, trip planning, itineraries, and saved plans.
- Publish and display travel stories and other content that you choose to share.
- Enable comments, likes, favorites, follows, and other social interactions.

5. Public and Social Content
WegoWhile includes social and travel-sharing features. If you choose to make your profile or content public, other users may be able to view the information you publish, including travel stories, destination content, profile information, comments, likes, and other public interactions.
Please avoid posting sensitive personal information that you do not want other users to see.
You can use available privacy controls, including the public/private profile setting, to control the visibility of supported profile information and content.
6. Location Information
Some WegoWhile features may use location-related information to support destinations, maps, travel discovery, or related functionality. Depending on the feature, location may be information that you explicitly enter or information provided through a device permission that you choose to grant.
You can manage device-level location permissions through your operating-system settings. Restricting location access may reduce or disable features that depend on location information.
7. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures may include authentication controls, access restrictions, encrypted connections such as HTTPS/TLS, secure credential handling, and monitoring of our services.
No internet transmission or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot promise absolute security.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain security, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, meet legal obligations, and support legitimate operational needs.
Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information and why it was collected. When information is no longer required, we aim to delete it, anonymize it, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable law.
9. Account and Data Deletion
If you create a WegoWhile account, you may request deletion of your account and associated personal data.
To request deletion, contact us at wegowhile@gmail.com using the email address associated with your account and include “Account Deletion Request” in the subject line.
We will process eligible deletion requests in accordance with applicable law and our retention obligations. Some information may be retained where required by law, needed for security/fraud prevention, or necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
10. Third-Party Services
WegoWhile may use third-party services to provide hosting, databases, authentication, email delivery, maps, analytics, crash reporting, storage, security, or other infrastructure.
The specific third-party services used by the app can change over time. Where required, the relevant provider's privacy terms and disclosures will apply to its processing of information.
Important for the developer: Replace this general description with the actual vendors and SDKs present in the production build (for example, analytics, crash reporting, maps, advertising, sign-in, cloud storage, push notifications, or AI services) and make the Play Console Data Safety form match the real implementation.
11. Children's Privacy
WegoWhile is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children where prohibited by applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information in a manner that violates applicable requirements, please contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.
12. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or request a copy of certain information, or to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
To exercise a privacy right, contact us using the privacy contact information in this policy. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
14. International Data Processing
Our service providers or infrastructure may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Where required by applicable law, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border data transfers.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our app, data practices, legal obligations, or services change. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Material changes may also be communicated through the app or another appropriate channel where required.
