Our approach

We collect only what we need to make your trips calmer, and we never sell your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what WiggleRoute (operated by an individual doing business as WiggleRoute) ("WiggleRoute," "we," "us") collects, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Account information: your email address and password, stored and managed for us by Supabase (our authentication and database provider) — we never see or store your password in plain text.
• Trip and usage information: your saved trip plans, saved stops, and preferences you set inside the app.
• Payment information: purchases (including the one-time $97 lifetime Founder purchase) are processed by Stripe, our payment processor. We never receive or store your full card number — Stripe handles that directly and shares with us only what we need to know your purchase succeeded (e.g. a receipt reference).
• Technical information, such as device type, app version, and basic diagnostics, collected to keep the service working reliably.

Place, route, and open-data information

To plan your trip, WiggleRoute looks up places, hours, and route information from Google's Places and Routes services, subject to Google's own terms of service — our use of that data (including how long we may cache certain fields) is constrained by Google's terms, not just our own choices.

Some stop information (such as certain public restroom locations) comes from OpenStreetMap, a free, community-maintained map database. Where we display OpenStreetMap-sourced data, we credit it as required by OpenStreetMap's open data license (ODbL): "© OpenStreetMap contributors."

How we use your information

We use your information to:

• provide, personalize, and improve WiggleRoute;
• plan and save your trips and stops;
• process purchases and manage your account access;
• send you service-related messages and, where you have opted in, updates;
• keep the service secure and prevent misuse.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal data, to anyone, ever. We do not use advertising trackers or share your information with ad networks or data brokers. We share information only with the service providers who help us run WiggleRoute — specifically Supabase (authentication and database hosting), Google (place and route data), OpenStreetMap (open civic data), Stripe (payment processing), and our hosting/deployment provider — and only as needed to provide the service. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and users.

Data retention

We keep your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can update your profile in the app, or contact us to exercise these rights. You can also unsubscribe from non-essential emails at any time.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including relying on Supabase's authentication and database security for account data and Stripe's PCI-compliant infrastructure for payments. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect your data and to respond promptly if an issue arises.

Children's privacy

WiggleRoute is designed for parents and caregivers, not for children. We do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify you. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the current version.
