Advertising

WhisperingPlaces may display advertisements in the free version of the app. Advertising providers may use limited device-related information, advertising identifiers, app usage signals or similar data to display ads, measure ad performance, prevent fraud and improve advertising services.

Advertising features may be provided by Google AdMob or similar advertising services. Users may manage ad personalization settings through their Google account, device settings or other controls provided by the relevant advertising provider.

Cookies, SDKs and tracking technologies

WhisperingPlaces and related services may use cookies, SDKs, device identifiers and similar technologies to operate features, analyze usage, improve performance, measure advertising effectiveness and help maintain service security.

Depending on your device, platform or region, you may be able to manage certain tracking or personalization settings through your device settings, Google account settings, browser settings or platform privacy controls.

Payments and subscriptions

If WhisperingPlaces offers paid features or subscriptions, purchases may be processed through third-party platform billing systems, such as Google Play. In such cases, payment information like your bank card details is typically processed by the platform provider, not directly by WhisperingPlaces.

We may receive limited information related to your subscription status, purchase confirmation, or entitlement status in order to activate premium features and manage access.

AI-powered features

Some WhisperingPlaces features may use artificial intelligence or machine-learning based services provided by trusted third-party providers. These features may process selected user inputs such as travel preferences, selected destinations, trip parameters or related requests in order to generate recommendations, informational content or personalized experiences.

Users should avoid submitting sensitive personal information through AI-related features unless explicitly requested and necessary for functionality.

AI-generated content may occasionally contain inaccuracies, outdated information or incomplete recommendations. WhisperingPlaces does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or reliability of AI-generated outputs.

Travel information disclaimer

WhisperingPlaces provides informational and recommendation-based content for general travel inspiration and convenience purposes only. While we aim to provide useful and up-to-date information, we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, availability or real-time validity of travel-related content, including but not limited to:

Users are responsible for independently verifying important travel information through official or professional sources before making travel, health, financial or safety-related decisions.

Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data.

Data transmitted between the app and supported services is generally protected in transit using encryption, such as HTTPS/TLS. While no system can guarantee absolute security, we aim to use appropriate safeguards to reduce risk and protect user information.

Data retention

How long we keep data

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain account functionality, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, or protect the security and integrity of the platform.

If you request deletion of your account, we will aim to delete or anonymize the associated data, except where retention is legally required or temporarily necessary for security, fraud prevention, technical backup handling or similar legitimate purposes.
