- Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies, pixels, web beacons, device identifiers, local storage, and similar technologies for essential Site functionality, analytics, preferences, and affiliate referral tracking, as described below.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Generate and display road trip itineraries through the AI Road Trip Planner.
- Process and respond to requests submitted through the Site.
- Send newsletters, route ideas, travel information, and related content to subscribers who have opted in.
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site and its features.
- Understand aggregate usage patterns and visitor behavior to improve our content, website performance, and user experience.
- Detect, prevent, and address technical problems, abuse, fraud, spam, and security incidents.

Trip planner inputs, such as destinations, route preferences, trip length, vehicle type, and travel style, are used to generate itineraries and provide trip-planning recommendations. If you choose to provide your email address, we may retain information necessary to deliver requested itineraries, improve planner functionality, and provide related travel content and updates.
We do not sell your trip-planning data or personal information to third parties for monetary consideration.
3. AI Road Trip Planner
Our Site includes an AI-powered Road Trip Planner that uses information you submit to generate route and itinerary recommendations.
Information submitted to the planner may include destinations, starting and ending locations, trip duration, vehicle type, travel preferences, selected stops, and other information necessary to generate your itinerary.
To provide the planner, certain trip-planning information may be processed by third-party AI and technology service providers. These providers process information on our behalf or as necessary to provide the requested service.
We do not intentionally submit your email address to an AI service provider solely for the purpose of generating an itinerary unless that information is necessary for a specific service you have requested.
You should avoid submitting sensitive personal information that is not necessary for trip planning.
4. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with the following categories of service providers and third parties when reasonably necessary to operate the Site and provide its features:
- Hosting and infrastructure providers: Companies that provide website hosting, storage, security, networking, and other infrastructure necessary to operate the Site.
- Email and communications providers: Services used to send newsletters, requested itineraries, and other communications you have requested or consented to receive.
- Analytics providers: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site and to measure website performance.
- Routing and mapping providers: Services such as OpenRouteService and OpenStreetMap may process the start and end locations or other route information necessary to calculate routes and provide mapping functionality.
- AI and technology providers: Third-party technology and AI providers may process trip-planning information necessary to generate itinerary recommendations and operate the planner.
- Affiliate partners: Affiliate services, including Stay22 and Travelpayouts, may process referral information through cookies, tracking links, or similar technologies when you interact with qualifying affiliate links.
- Legal authorities: We may disclose information when required by law, regulation, legal process, court order, or governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect our rights, property, users, or the public.
