Working draft
This page is a working draft and should be reviewed by qualified legal counsel before public launch.
1. Who We Are
Finding Horizons ("we", "us", "our") is a travel organization and discovery application. Our mailing address is: 5513 Avenue de Monkland, Montréal, QC H4A 1C8, Canada.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our mobile app, website, and related services. It covers Canadian users (PIPEDA and Québec Law 25 awareness) and US users (state privacy law awareness). We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
2. Information We Collect
Account & Identity Data: Email address, display name, and profile photo from Apple Sign-In, Google Sign-In, or email magic link; account creation date; optional profile bio and avatar.
Imported & Pasted Content: URLs you import from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Google Maps, Klook, or other platforms; page metadata (title, description, thumbnail) extracted server-side; booking confirmation text and itinerary emails you paste; screenshots, PDFs, and images you upload.
Travel & Planning Data: Saved places (Points) including name, category, location, notes, and rating; Collections; Trips, itineraries, side quests, detours, mini quests, and bookings; budget entries.
Location Data (Optional): Approximate or precise device location, only if you grant permission and only when you trigger a location feature. We never request location on page load. See our Location Data Policy.
Payment & Subscription Data: Subscription status; Stripe customer and subscription IDs. We never store card numbers, CVV, or bank details — Stripe handles payment method data exclusively.

Referral Data: Referral code, whether referred users signed up via your link, and referral reward status.
Device & Usage Data: Browser type, device type, OS, app version; pages visited, features used, session timing; error logs and crash reports. Firebase Analytics is optional, browser-only, and requires configuration.
