Official Privacy Policy

NoTicket Travel Privacy Policy

Application Package ID: • Effective Date: November 8, 2026

1. Introduction & Overview

Welcome to NoTicket Travel ("we," "our," or "us"). NoTicket Travel (Android package identifier: ) is a mobile travel discovery application that helps travelers find, explore, and bookmark free-to-visit destinations—such as public parks, museums, beaches, historic landmarks, trails, and viewpoints—around the world.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and minimizing data collection. You can browse cities, search free places, and save destinations to your personal itinerary without creating an account or providing personally identifiable information.

Summary at a Glance: NoTicket Travel does not require user registration, does not sell or rent user data, and does not track your location in the background. Location access is strictly optional and used only when you tap "Detect GPS" to discover nearby free places.

2. Information We Collect & How We Use It

Depending on how you interact with NoTicket Travel, the application handles the following categories of information:

Data Category	How It Is Collected	Purpose & Storage
Approximate & Precise Location (ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)	Collected only in the foreground when you explicitly tap the "Detect GPS" button on the Nearby screen and grant Android runtime permission.	Used solely to query free places within your selected radius (5 km – 50 km). Coordinates are never tracked in the background or stored on external user profiles.
Saved Places & Bookmarks	When you tap the bookmark icon on any destination card.	Stored locally on your device using Android SharedPreferences so your saved itinerary remains available offline.
Place Status Checks	When you optionally submit a verification check indicating whether a place is still free to visit.	Used to maintain accurate community verification status for free attractions.
Network Requests (INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE)	Standard HTTPS API requests when loading or refreshing destination directories and images.	Required to download destination listings, city guides, and place photographs.

3. Android Permissions Explained

• Internet (android.permission.INTERNET): Used to fetch and sync the directory of free places, city listings, search results, and destination photos.
• Network State (android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): Used to check connectivity status and seamlessly fall back to cached/offline destination data when you are traveling without a connection.
• Location (android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION & android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION): Optional runtime permission. Only requested when you press "Detect GPS" on the Nearby tab. If you decline permission, you can still use the Nearby tab by selecting any city manually.

4. Data Storage, Retention & Deletion

On-Device Storage: Your saved places and preferences are stored locally on your Android device. You can remove individual saved places at any time by tapping the bookmark icon, or clear all local app data via Android Settings → Apps → NoTicket Travel → Storage → Clear Data, or by uninstalling the application.

5. Data Sharing & Third-Party Services

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties or advertising networks. The application uses standard Android system components (such as Google Play Services Location APIs when you trigger foreground GPS detection, and external map intents when you tap "Get Directions" to open your preferred navigation app).

6. Children's Privacy

NoTicket Travel is a general-audience travel reference application and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). Because the app does not require accounts or collect personal identifiers, no personal data from children is stored.

7. Security

All network communication performed by NoTicket Travel is transmitted over encrypted HTTPS (TLS) connections. In addition, release builds are compiled with R8 code optimization and obfuscation to protect application integrity.

8. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR, CCPA & Global Standards)

Because NoTicket Travel stores your saved itinerary locally on your device and does not maintain personal user accounts, you have full, immediate control over your data directly on your device:

• Revoke Location Access: You may revoke location permissions at any time in your Android device Settings.
• Delete Local Data: Uninstalling the app or clearing app storage permanently erases all locally saved bookmarks and preferences.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect improvements to NoTicket Travel or changes in regulatory requirements. Any updates will be reflected with a revised Effective Date at the top of this page.
