who controls your data
Bregway LLC (losthighway.ai) is the data controller. our registered address will be published here. reach us at contact@losthighway.ai.
what we collect
only what the product visibly uses:
- account — email address or phone number, and your profile settings.
- your travel content — saved places and lists you import or create, trips, guide sections and host notes you write.
- connected services — location history and similar data only if you explicitly connect a source; you can disconnect at any time.
- usage metering — token counts and request metadata for AI features, to enforce plan limits and billing.
- API keys you bring — stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM); used only to proxy your own requests.
- form submissions — name, email, and message when you contact us or submit a property.
what we don't do
- we don’t sell your data.
- we don’t train AI models on your content.
- we don’t run advertising trackers in the app.
guest-guide visitors
people who open a guest guide link need no account and get no tracking beyond standard server logs. the “unlock” cookie that reveals a guide’s private sections is functional only — it holds a derived token, not personal data, and expires after 30 days.
processors
we use a small set of processors to run the product:
- supabase — authentication, database, file storage
- vercel — hosting and delivery
- anthropic — AI features (itineraries, suggestions)
- mapbox — maps on trips, lists, and guest guides
- google (places API) — place search and autocomplete
- stay22 — affiliate links on marketing pages only
- resend — transactional email for inbound forms (when enabled)
data may be processed in the united states and other countries where these providers operate.
retention & deletion
account data lives until you delete your account; deleting it cascades through your places, lists, trips, and guides. form submissions are kept for up to 24 months. to delete your account or exercise any data right, email contact@losthighway.ai— we’ll confirm within 30 days.
your rights
you can ask for access to, correction of, export of, or deletion of your personal data. if you’re in a jurisdiction with statutory privacy rights (GDPR, CCPA, or similar), we honor those requests under the same email.
children & changes
the service is not directed at children under 16. we’ll flag material changes to this policy in the product, and the date at the top moves whenever it changes.
