Privacy Policy

Plug helps you discover, save, and plan visits to places. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

We collect account information such as your name, email address, profile image, and account identifier when you sign in. We also store your saved places, likes, hidden places, plans, city preferences, searches, place taps, links you share to Plug, and visits you choose to confirm. Visit prompts may use your dated plans, saves, and place-detail taps to suggest places for you to confirm; those signals are not treated as visits unless you say you went. If you tell us how you heard about Plug, we store that answer.

We also record how the app is used, such as which screens are opened and actions like saving a place or creating or joining a plan, linked to your account. We use this to understand what works and to fix what doesn't. We do not use it to determine your location.

If you enable notifications, we store your device push token so we can send your chosen plan messages, reminders, saved-link updates, and optional ideas from your saved places. We store your notification preferences, device time zone, recent app activity, and notification delivery and open records to respect quiet hours, limit frequency, and understand which updates are useful. Notification history is removed after 90 days. With your permission, Plug uses your device location to personalize distances and surface nearby recommendations. We request iOS location permission first, and your coordinates are used only to rank suggestions in the moment — they are not stored.

How We Use Information

We use this information to provide app functionality, personalize recommendations, save your plans and stash, process shared social links, improve discovery quality, prevent abuse, and respond to support requests.

Service Providers

Plug uses service providers for authentication, hosting, databases, push notifications, maps/place information, AI-assisted place enrichment, and product analytics. These providers process information only as needed to operate and improve Plug.

Tracking and Advertising

Plug does not sell personal information and does not use your activity for third-party advertising tracking.

Your Choices

You can turn notifications off in the app Settings screen. You can delete your account in Settings, which removes your Plug account and associated app data unless we are legally required to retain something. You can also contact us at support@plugplan.dev.

Changes

We may update this policy as Plug changes. If we make material changes, we will update this page and the effective date.
