Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 24, 2025

Your privacy matters deeply to us at Waysor. This policy explains how Waysor ("we," "us," or "our") handles information collected when you use our web application (the "Service"). Waysor allows you to create an account, sign in using your Google account, upload photos, and leverages these photos to generate descriptions, identify locations, and build personalized travelogues. As Waysor evolves, we may introduce new features, and this policy will be updated accordingly. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any products, services, websites, or content that are offered by third parties, which are governed by their respective privacy policies and practices.

What information we collect

We collect information to provide and improve your Waysor experience.

Information you provide directly to us

• Account Information: When you create an account or log into the Service using third-party services, such as Google, we will receive personal information about you (such as your name and email address) as permitted by your profile settings on the third-party service in order to authenticate you. The information we receive when you authenticate through a third-party service depends on the settings, permissions, and privacy policy controlled by that third-party service. You should always check the privacy settings and notices in the relevant third-party services to understand what data may be disclosed to us or shared with our Service.
• Photos and Associated Data: When you upload photos to the Service, we collect the photos themselves. Our backend processes these photos to:
  • Generate descriptions of the images.
  • Identify places depicted in the images.
  • Save travelogue entries based on the content of your photos.
• Content and metadata of any messages that you send using the Service or to us directly.
• Communications that we exchange with you, including when you respond to our surveys or contact us with questions, feedback, or otherwise.
• Other data not specifically listed here, which we will use as described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information for the following purposes:

• To Deliver Waysor's Features: This is our primary use. We process your uploaded photos to generate descriptions, identify places, and create your travelogues.
• To Communicate with You: We use your information to respond to your inquiries, provide technical support, and send you important updates, security alerts, and administrative messages related to your account and the Service.
• To Improve and Secure Waysor: We analyze usage patterns to understand user needs, personalize your experience, develop new features, troubleshoot issues, and ensure the security and stability of our Service.
• For Research and Development: We may use your information for internal research, trend analysis, and to improve our AI models that power photo descriptions and travelogue generation. This often involves using aggregated or de-identified data, meaning it cannot be linked back to you personally.
• For Legal and Protection Purposes: We may use your information to comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, protect our rights and property, investigate fraudulent activities, and respond to lawful requests from authorities.

How Your Information Is Shared

We share your information with third parties only when necessary to provide our Service or comply with legal requirements.

• Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party service providers for tasks like hosting, data storage, technical support, and analytics. These providers may access your information solely to perform services on our behalf. Notably, to generate photo descriptions and identify places, we share your uploaded photos with AI technology providers.
• Legal and Law Enforcement: We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or if we believe it's necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of Waysor's assets, your information may be transferred to the new entity.
• Public Data Sharing: To the extent that Waysor provides sharing capabilities, the decision to share your photos and travelogues with other users is entirely up to you. We provide clear controls for you to manage your privacy settings and what content you choose to share.

Data Security

We implement a range of technical, organizational, and physical security measures to protect the personal information we collect. However, no security system is entirely foolproof. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

International Data Transfers

Waysor's servers and operations are primarily located in the United States. If you access the Service from outside the U.S., your information will be transferred to and processed in the U.S., where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. By using Waysor, you consent to this transfer, processing, and storage of your information in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate.

Children's Privacy

Waysor is not intended for individuals under the age of 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately, and we will take steps to remove that information from our databases.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide the Service, fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Usage data is generally kept for shorter periods, unless necessary for security or service improvement.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date." We encourage you to review this policy periodically. For significant changes, we may provide additional notification through the Service or other means.
