How We Use Information
The information we gather allows us to personalize your PackingPal.net experience. Specifically, we use it for:
Personalization
Suggesting packing items based on your destination's weather and activity type.
Communication
Sending trip reminders, updates to our service, and responding to support inquiries.
Local Storage
PackingPal.net uses web storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) to provide a seamless "offline-first" experience. This allows your lists to be accessible even when you have an intermittent internet connection during transit. This data is stored locally on your device and is not accessible by other websites.
Third-Party Services
We partner with specific third-party providers for analytics (Plausible Analytics) and hosting (Vercel). We ensure these partners adhere to strict privacy standards and only process data necessary for the functionality of our platform.
Your Rights (GDPR/CCPA)
Regardless of where you reside, you have the right to:
Data Security
We implement industry-standard AES-256 encryption for data at rest and SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit. While no system is 100% secure, we continuously monitor for vulnerabilities and perform regular security audits.
Children's Privacy
PackingPal.net is a general-audience site. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
