Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how MERRE collects, uses, stores, and deletes information when you use the app. MERRE is a travel tracking and trip planning app operated by Krisztian Pallagi.

Information We Collect

Account and profile information

When you create or use a MERRE account, we may collect:

If you sign in with Google, MERRE receives basic Google account information needed for sign-in, such as your name, email address, profile image, and authentication tokens.

Travel and app data

MERRE lets you create and manage travel data, including:

MERRE is designed as a local-first app. Most user-facing data is stored on your device first. If cloud sync is enabled and you are signed in, MERRE may save a compact backup of relevant travel, settings, profile, achievement, and trip-planning data to Firebase/Firestore so your data can be recovered or synced.

Photos and media

MERRE may ask for photo access when you choose to:

MERRE does not use video access for app features. Visit photos and profile photo files are stored locally on your device. The cloud sync payload intentionally excludes image files and heavy image data.

If you save or share a travel card, the generated image may remain in your device photo library or be shared through the system share sheet according to your choice.

Location information

MERRE may ask for foreground location permission when you choose "Use current location" during onboarding. This is used to suggest or set your home base.

MERRE may process:

MERRE does not continuously track your live location in the background. MERRE does not share your current precise physical location with other users.

Your selected home base may be stored in your account profile. Live/current device location, map preferences, saved map locations, and device-derived location state are treated as local-only data.

Purchases and subscription information

If you purchase MERRE+, purchases are handled by Google Play, Apple, and/or RevenueCat. We may receive subscription entitlement information such as:

We do not receive or store your full payment card details.

Notifications

If you enable notifications, MERRE may request notification permission and schedule local reminders, such as upcoming trip reminders. The current app implementation schedules notifications locally and does not require sharing push notification tokens with our backend.

Imported and exported data

MERRE lets you import and export travel history files. Imported files are processed to add valid MERRE visit records. Exported files are created at your request and may be saved or shared by you outside the app.

Analytics

On supported web builds, MERRE may use Firebase Analytics if configured. This may include basic app events such as screen views and onboarding events. Analytics is used to understand app usage and improve the product.

How We Use Information

Legal Bases for Processing

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region with similar data protection laws, we process personal data only where we have a legal basis to do so.

We process account, authentication, app functionality, cloud sync, purchase entitlement, and support data because it is necessary to provide MERRE and perform our agreement with you.

We process certain data based on your consent, such as optional photo access, optional location access, optional notifications, and optional analytics where consent is required by law. You can withdraw device permissions through your device settings.

We process limited data where necessary for our legitimate interests, such as app security, abuse prevention, fraud prevention, service reliability, debugging, enforcing our Terms & Conditions, and improving MERRE.

We may process or retain limited data where necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, handle billing or tax obligations, or respond to lawful requests.

Third-Party Services

MERRE uses third-party services that may process information as part of providing the app:

These services process information according to their own privacy practices.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information with service providers that help operate MERRE, including authentication, cloud sync, analytics, purchase processing, and platform services. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, to prevent abuse, or with your consent.

When you use the system share sheet, you choose where to send exported images or files. MERRE does not control how third-party apps handle information after you share it.

Data Storage and Security

MERRE stores app data locally on your device using device storage. If you are signed in and cloud sync is enabled, eligible account data may also be stored in Firebase/Firestore.

Data sent between the app and supported backend services is transmitted over encrypted connections. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we use reasonable technical measures appropriate for the app's current design.

Data Retention and Deletion

You can delete individual travel entries or delete all travel history inside the app. You can also delete your account from:

Profile / Account → Delete Account

When you delete your account, MERRE attempts to delete your Firebase account data, compact sync data, known private user documents, and local MERRE app data from your device. This includes travel data associated with your account.

Some information may remain if retention is required for legal, security, fraud prevention, billing, tax, dispute, account enforcement, abuse prevention, or platform compliance reasons. Files that you exported, shared, saved to your photo library, or backed up through your device or operating system may remain outside MERRE's control.

You can also request account and associated data deletion by contacting: merre.travel.app1@gmail.com

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, including if you are in the European Economic Area, you may have rights over your personal data, including the right to:

To exercise these rights, contact: merre.travel.app1@gmail.com

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Some requests may be limited where retention or processing is required for legal, security, fraud prevention, billing, dispute, platform compliance, or legitimate business reasons.

If you are in Romania, you may contact the Romanian National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (ANSPDCP).

Account Enforcement and Safety

We may restrict, suspend, disable, or delete accounts or access to MERRE where reasonably necessary to protect users, MERRE, third-party services, legal compliance, security, app integrity, payment systems, or platform rules. This may involve retaining limited records where necessary for fraud prevention, abuse prevention, security, legal compliance, dispute handling, or enforcement of our Terms & Conditions.

Children

MERRE is intended for users aged 18 and over. MERRE is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

International Processing

Your information may be processed in countries other than where you live, depending on the locations of our service providers and infrastructure.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date and may provide additional notice in the app or through another appropriate method.
