Privacy Policy
Last updated: 16 April 2026
1. Who we are
SaveToRoam (“we”, “us”, “our”) is an online trip savings and itinerary planning service built and operated in Australia. We are committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at hello@savetoroam.com.
2. Information we collect
We collect the following types of information when you use SaveToRoam:
- Account information — your name and email address, provided directly or via Google Sign-In.
- Trip and savings data — destinations, travel dates, number of travellers, savings goals, savings amounts, and any itinerary content you create.
- Billing information — subscription plan and billing period. Payment details (card numbers etc.) are processed directly by Stripe and are never stored on our servers.
- Usage data — pages visited, features used, and technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and device type, used to operate and improve the service.
3. How we use your information
We use your information to:
- Provide, personalise, and improve the SaveToRoam service.
- Process payments and manage your subscription.
- Send transactional emails (account confirmation, receipts, password resets).
- Send weekly savings reminder emails (Pro users only, Fridays) to help you stay on track toward your savings goal. You can unsubscribe at any time from the link in each email or from your account settings.
- Respond to support requests.
- Protect against fraud and abuse, including rate limiting API requests.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties, and we do not use it for advertising.
4. Third-party services
To deliver SaveToRoam, we share data with the following trusted service providers, each bound by their own privacy commitments:
- Supabase — database, authentication, and file storage.
- Stripe — payment processing and subscription management.
- Google Sign-In — optional sign-in with your Google account.
- Google Gemini AI — AI-powered cost estimation and travel content generation. We send destination and trip details (city, country, duration, family size) to generate planning suggestions. No personal information beyond trip context is shared.
- Resend — transactional email delivery.
- Vercel — web hosting and serverless infrastructure.
- Upstash — Redis-based rate limiting to protect our API.
- Sentry — error tracking and performance monitoring. Collects technical error data, IP address, and browser type to help us identify and fix issues quickly.
Some of these providers may store data outside of Australia. Where they do, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled with equivalent protections.
5. Cookies & analytics
SaveToRoam uses minimal cookies — primarily session cookies required to keep you signed in and securely load your trip data. These are essential and cannot be disabled while you use the app.
With your consent, we also collect privacy-friendly product analytics via Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights. These tools measure aggregate page views and performance metrics (load times, interaction delays) to help us improve the product. They do not use tracking cookies, do not build a profile of you, and do not share data with advertisers.
On your first visit you will see a banner asking you to choose between Accept all (essentials + analytics) and Essential only (just what's required to keep you signed in). You can clear your browser's site data for savetoroam.com at any time to be asked again. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies of any kind.
6. Data retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we soft-delete it immediately and permanently remove your personal data within 7 days (this 7-day window lets you contact us to undo an accidental deletion), except where we are required to retain certain records for legal or financial compliance purposes (e.g. Stripe transaction records).
7. Your rights
Under the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate or out-of-date information.
- Request deletion of your account and associated data.
- Complain about how we handle your personal information.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@savetoroam.com. We will respond within 30 days.
8. Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure authentication, and rate limiting. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by email or by displaying a notice in the app. Continued use of SaveToRoam after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
10. Contact
For any privacy-related questions or complaints, contact us at hello@savetoroam.com. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
