Privacy Policy

Stamped ("we," "us," "our") is a mobile application developed by The Next Stamp Travel Co. that helps travel groups keep every reservation — flights, hotels, trains, restaurants, tours, and more — in one shared, organized place. This policy explains what information Stamped collects when you create an account, build a trip, invite others, upload bookings, or subscribe to a paid plan, and how that information is used, shared, and protected.

By creating an account or using Stamped, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If anything here is unclear or you'd like more detail, reach out — we're happy to walk through it.

We collect information in the following ways:

• Account information — your name, email address, and password when you sign up. We use this to create and secure your account and to identify you to other trip members.
• Sign in with Apple or Google (optional) — if you choose to authenticate using Apple or Google instead of a password, we receive your name and email address from that provider to create and secure your account. This is a separate, one-time sign-in flow and is distinct from the Gmail email auto-sync feature described below.
• Profile information — an optional profile photo and display name shown to your trip members.
• Trip information — trip names, destinations, travel dates, trip photos, and the list of members you invite.
• Booking information — details you enter manually (booking type, date/time, location, confirmation numbers, notes) and any attachments you upload, such as PDFs, images, or screenshots of confirmations.
• Email data (optional) — if you choose to connect Gmail, we access booking-related confirmation emails to automatically create bookings. See "Gmail & email auto-sync" below.
• Emergency contact information (optional) — names and contact details you choose to store in the Emergency Contact Vault for your own reference.
• Subscription information — your current plan (Explorer, Voyager, or Navigator) and subscription status, managed through the Apple App Store or Google Play.
• Device and usage information — device type, operating system, app version, crash logs, and general usage patterns, collected to keep the app stable and improve it.

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and maintain your account and authenticate your access to the app.
• Create, organize, and display trips, bookings, and timelines within the app.
• Share trip data with the members you invite to a given trip, according to their role.
• Calculate trip readiness and coverage based on the bookings you and your trip members upload.
• Enforce subscription tier limits (trips created, members per trip, storage) tied to your plan.
• Send booking-related and account-related notifications (e.g., readiness reminders, invitations).
• Diagnose crashes, fix bugs, and improve app performance and features over time.
• Respond to support requests and communicate important changes to the app or this policy.

A "trip" in Stamped is a shared workspace. Anything you upload to a trip — bookings, attachments, notes, photos, and the coverage/timeline views generated from them — is visible to the other members of that trip, subject to the role-based permissions described in the app (Admin/Organizer vs. Member).

• Booking attachments (PDFs, images, screenshots) are stored securely and linked to the trip and booking record they were uploaded for.
• Each booking records who uploaded it and who it is assigned to, so trip members can see ownership and responsibility at a glance.
• Removing yourself from a trip, or having an Admin remove you, stops your access to that trip's data going forward; bookings you previously uploaded may remain part of the trip's shared record unless deleted by an Admin.

Stamped offers an optional feature that connects to your Gmail account so booking confirmation emails (flights, hotels, trains, restaurants, tours, etc.) can be automatically detected and turned into bookings — without you needing to manually re-enter the details.

• This feature is entirely optional. If you don't connect Gmail, you can still add bookings manually with attachments.
• If you connect Gmail, Stamped requests limited, read-only access scoped to identifying and extracting travel booking confirmations.
• We extract only the booking details needed to populate a booking record (type, date/time, location, confirmation number) and, where relevant, the confirmation document itself.
• We do not use Gmail data for advertising, and we do not sell or share Gmail data with third parties for marketing purposes.
• You can disconnect Gmail access at any time from within the app, or by revoking Stamped's access through your Google Account security settings.

Group coordination is the core of Stamped, which means some information is intentionally visible to other people you choose to travel with:

• Your display name and profile photo are visible to other members of trips you belong to.
• Bookings you upload — including who uploaded and who they're assigned to — are visible to all members of that trip.
• The coverage matrix and trip readiness gauge reflect bookings from everyone in the trip and are visible to all members.
• The Emergency Contact Vault is intended for your own reference and is not automatically broadcast to other trip members beyond what the app's interface explicitly displays.

Only people you or a trip Admin invite can see a given trip's data. Trips are not public and are not visible to other Stamped users outside the trip.

Stamped requests certain device permissions to power its core features. You can grant or deny each of these in your device settings, and the app remains usable (with reduced functionality) if you decline:

• Camera & photo library — used to take or select photos for your profile picture, trip cover photos, and booking attachments (e.g., photographing a paper confirmation or screenshot of an email).
• Location (approximate, optional) — used to power features like Daily Locations on the trip timeline, generally derived from the locations associated with your bookings rather than continuous background tracking. Stamped does not track your location when the app is closed.
• Push notifications — used to deliver trip invitations, booking assignments, and readiness reminders, as described below.
• Contacts (optional, if applicable) — if you choose to invite trip members using your device's contact list, Stamped accesses contact names and emails/phone numbers only to populate the invite flow; this data is not stored beyond completing the invitation.

Stamped offers three plans:

• All subscription purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play, depending on your device. Stamped never receives or stores your full payment details.
• We receive confirmation of your subscription status and plan tier from the App Store/Play Store in order to apply the correct limits within the app.
• Refunds, billing disputes, and subscription cancellations are handled through Apple's or Google's standard processes for app purchases.

Stamped sends push notifications and/or in-app alerts to keep trip members informed — for example, when you're invited to a trip, when a booking is assigned to you, or when a trip's readiness changes.

• Notifications are tied to your account and the trips you belong to.
• You can manage notification permissions at any time through your device's settings.

We use basic analytics and crash-reporting tools to understand how the app is used and to identify and fix bugs. This may include device type, OS version, app version, anonymized usage events, and crash logs. This information is used to improve Stamped and is not used to build advertising profiles.

We don't sell your personal information. We share it only where necessary to operate Stamped, including with:

• Cloud hosting and database providers, to store account, trip, and booking data securely.
• Apple App Store / Google Play, for account authentication (if you sign in with Apple/Google) and subscription management.
• Google APIs, only if you choose to connect Gmail for email auto-sync, as described above.
• Push notification services (e.g., Apple Push Notification service, Firebase Cloud Messaging), to deliver alerts to your device.
• Crash reporting and analytics providers, to help us maintain and improve the app.
• Other members of your trips, for the shared trip data described above.

We keep your account, trip, and booking data for as long as your account is active, so that your trip history remains accessible (as referenced in the app's trip history requirements). If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable period, except where we need to retain certain records for legal, security, or accounting purposes. Bookings you contributed to a shared trip may remain visible to other trip members as part of that trip's shared record unless removed by a trip Admin.

You can request deletion of your Stamped account and associated personal data at any time — including if you've already uninstalled the app:

• Email info@thenextstamptravelco.com with the subject line "Account Deletion Request" from the email address associated with your account.
• We will verify your request and delete or anonymize your account information, profile data, and personal booking information within 30 days.
• Shared trip data you contributed (e.g., bookings uploaded to a trip with other members) may be retained as part of that trip's shared record so other members' coordination isn't disrupted, unless a trip Admin removes it. Your personal account identifiers will still be deleted or anonymized.
• Some information may be retained longer where required for legal, tax, security, or fraud-prevention purposes, even after an account deletion request.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or request deletion of the personal information we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights:

• Email us at info@thenextstamptravelco.com with your request, and we'll respond as soon as we can.
• You can update your profile information directly within the app.
• You can disconnect Gmail sync at any time from within the app or via your Google Account settings.
• You can request deletion of your account and associated personal data by contacting us; some information may need to be retained as required by law or to preserve the integrity of shared trip records.

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA, gives you additional rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to know — the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
• Right to delete — request deletion of personal information we've collected, subject to certain exceptions.
• Right to correct — request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Right to opt out of sale or sharing — Stamped does not sell personal information, and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
• Right to non-discrimination — we will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@thenextstamptravelco.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.

Stamped is intended for adults coordinating travel and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we'll remove it.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures — including encrypted connections, access controls, and reputable third-party infrastructure providers — to help protect your information, including booking attachments and account details. That said, no method of transmission or storage is ever 100% secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security.

Stamped is operated from the United States. If you use the app from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. By using Stamped, you consent to this transfer, in accordance with this policy.

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, features, or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of Stamped after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy. For material changes, we may also notify you within the app.

If you have any questions about this policy or how Stamped handles your information, we'd love to hear from you:
