Privacy Policy
Last updated: 1 May 2026
This privacy policy explains how Trip to Sun processes personal data when you use triptosun.com and its road-trip planning features.
Who we are
Trip to Sun is a road-trip planning website available at triptosun.com. For privacy questions, contact privacy@triptosun.com.
Data we process
Depending on how you use the service, we may process account details (such as email address, username and verification status), authentication/session data, saved trips, shared-trip metadata, selected cities, dates, nights, route/waypoint information, language and unit preferences, technical logs and security information such as IP address and user agent.
Why we process data
We use this data to provide trip planning, weather and route features, account login, saved trips, sharing links, security, abuse prevention, debugging, service reliability and user support. Functional features such as hotel search and affiliate links remain available regardless of advertising consent.
Cookies and consent
Necessary cookies are used for login, security and core functionality. Advertising cookies are optional. If you accept advertising cookies, Google AdSense display ads may be shown to free users. Pro, Enterprise and Admin users do not see display ad banners. You can change your browser/local storage settings to clear stored consent.
Google AdSense
When advertising consent is given and AdSense is configured, Google may process data to serve and measure ads. Google may use cookies or similar technologies. See Google’s privacy and ads information for details about how Google processes data and how to manage ad personalization.
Affiliate links
Trip to Sun may show hotel or other travel-related affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link, the destination partner may receive referral information and may process data under its own privacy policy. These functional links are separate from display advertising.
External services
Trip to Sun uses external services for maps, geocoding, weather, authentication, email delivery, hosting, database/storage and related operational needs. These providers process data only as needed to deliver their services.
Sharing trips
If you create a share link, trip details needed to show the shared route may be stored and made available to anyone with the link, unless you mark the share as private where supported. Avoid putting sensitive personal information in trip names or notes.
Retention
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described above, to maintain your account and trips, to comply with legal obligations, and to protect the service. Server logs are kept for a limited period where possible.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent. Contact us to exercise these rights.
Changes
We may update this policy when features, legal requirements or providers change. The updated date at the top of this page shows the latest version.
