Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 1, 2026

1. Who We Are

NextDestination.ai is an AI-powered travel planning platform. We help travelers plan trips, discover destinations, and connect with a community of fellow travelers. We are not a travel agency, tour operator, or direct travel service provider — we provide planning tools and informational content to help you organize your own trips.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information when you use our platform:

  • Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address, display name, and profile picture through our authentication provider (Supabase Auth). You may also sign in via third-party providers such as Google, in which case we receive basic profile information from that provider.
  • Travel Preferences & Itineraries: Destinations, dates, interests, budget preferences, and the itineraries you create or save on the platform.
  • Usage Data: Pages visited, features used, search queries, browser type, device information, IP address, and referring URLs. This helps us understand how our platform is used and improve it.
  • Payment Information: If you subscribe to a paid plan, payment details are collected and processed securely by Stripe. We do not store your full credit card number on our servers.
  • Community Content: Any content you post publicly, such as shared itineraries, comments, or community posts.
  • Cookies & Similar Technologies: We use cookies and local storage to maintain your session, remember preferences, and gather analytics. See our Cookie Policy for details.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Generate personalized, AI-powered travel itineraries based on your preferences and destination choices.
  • Provide and maintain your account, saved itineraries, and subscription services.
  • Personalize your experience by remembering your travel preferences and interests.
  • Power community features, including shared itineraries and traveler interactions.
  • Analyze platform usage to improve our features, fix bugs, and develop new tools.
  • Communicate with you about account activity, new features, and service updates. You can opt out of non-essential communications at any time.
  • Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security threats.

4. AI-Generated Content

NextDestination.ai uses Google's Gemini AI and Google Maps APIs to generate travel itineraries, destination information, and activity suggestions. Please be aware of the following:

  • AI-generated content is provided as suggestions and informational starting points — not as guaranteed facts or professional travel advice.
  • Attraction hours, prices, availability, and other real-world details may change without notice. Always verify critical details directly with venues and service providers before your trip.
  • Your travel preferences and destination inputs are sent to these AI services to generate results. We do not send your personal account information (such as your email or payment details) to AI providers.

5. Third-Party Services

We integrate with the following third-party services to operate our platform. Each has its own privacy policy governing how it handles your data:

  • Supabase: Authentication, database, and cloud infrastructure.
  • Stripe: Payment processing for subscriptions.
  • Google Maps Platform: Maps, places, and geolocation services within itineraries.
  • Google Analytics: Website traffic and usage analytics.
  • Affiliate Partners: We may display links to travel services through affiliate networks such as Travelpayouts, Booking.com, Skyscanner, GetYourGuide, and others. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase on a partner site, that partner's privacy policy applies to your transaction. We may receive a commission but do not share your personal data with these partners.

6. Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication and site functionality, preference cookies to remember your settings, and analytics cookies to understand how the platform is used. For full details on the types of cookies we use and how to manage them, please see our Cookie Policy.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: With trusted providers who help us operate the platform (hosting, payment processing, analytics), under strict contractual obligations to protect your data.
  • Legal Requirements: When required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
  • Safety & Security: To protect the rights, safety, or property of NextDestination.ai, our users, or the public.
  • With Your Consent: When you explicitly choose to share content publicly (e.g., community posts or shared itineraries).

8. Data Retention & Deletion

We retain your account data and saved itineraries for as long as your account is active. Usage and analytics data is retained in aggregated or anonymized form. If you wish to delete your account and all associated personal data, you can do so from your profile settings or by contacting us at [email protected]. Upon receiving a deletion request, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Deletion: Request that we delete your personal data.
  • Portability: Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Objection: Object to certain types of processing, such as direct marketing.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

10. Children's Privacy

NextDestination.ai is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete it promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at [email protected].

11. International Data Transfers

Our platform is hosted on cloud infrastructure that may process and store data in various countries. By using NextDestination.ai, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We take appropriate measures to ensure your data is protected in accordance with this policy regardless of where it is processed.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you via email or a prominent notice on our platform. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
