TravelOrbit is developed by TravelPal LLC. This policy describes how TravelOrbit handles your data.
TravelOrbit stores the trips, flights, hotels, rental cars, ground transportation, activities, travelers, tickets, travel documents, packing items, lists, and related details you enter on your device. TravelOrbit does not use this information for advertising or tracking.
If you enable iCloud sync, Apple CloudKit stores your TravelOrbit data in your private iCloud account so it can appear on your Apple devices. TravelPal LLC does not operate or have access to your private CloudKit database. You can disable this feature in TravelOrbit settings and manage iCloud through your Apple account settings.
If you choose to use backup and restore, TravelOrbit may write backup files to your iCloud Drive. If you explicitly export an encrypted transfer file, its contents are protected with the passphrase you choose. You control these files through your Apple account and iCloud Drive settings.
TravelOrbit lets you invite other people to a trip so you can follow it together. Shared trips sync directly through Apple's iCloud sharing service (CloudKit and CKShare) using each person's iCloud account. Shared-trip content is not routed through TravelPal LLC's servers, and TravelPal LLC cannot access the shared CloudKit zone.
Depending on the options the trip owner enables, companions may receive the itinerary, traveler names, seats, confirmation details, tickets or passes, moment-completion status, packing items, and shared lists. When packing and lists are shared, companions can see the shared packing book; a Viewer may change only their own packing list, while an Editor may change shared content.
Passport details, travel-document numbers, and document images are never shared with companions. The invitation email address or phone number you enter is stored with the traveler on your device so you can manage the invitation and is passed to Apple to find and invite that person's iCloud account. It is not sent to TravelPal LLC's servers. A companion can leave a shared trip at any time, and the trip owner can remove a companion or stop sharing.
TravelOrbit asks for Calendar access only when you choose to add trip events to Calendar. Calendar access is used to create the selected events.
If you choose to import items from Apple Reminders into a packing template, TravelOrbit reads the lists and reminders needed for that import. The imported item titles become part of your TravelOrbit packing data. TravelOrbit does not send your Reminders data to TravelPal LLC's servers.
TravelOrbit may ask for location permission to calculate routes and leave-by estimates and to help advance travel moments when you arrive at places such as an airport or hotel. Location is processed through Apple location and mapping services and is not sent to TravelPal LLC's servers. You can change location access in iOS Settings.
TravelOrbit uses Apple WeatherKit to request forecasts for destinations in your itinerary. Destination locations needed for a forecast are processed by Apple under Apple's terms and privacy policy.
TravelOrbit uses local notifications for reminders you enable. It may also use Live Activities to display travel-day information on the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, Apple Watch, and related Apple system surfaces.
When you use live flight refresh, TravelOrbit sends the flight number, date, route, and timing needed for the request to flight-data providers such as AeroDataBox, Skylink, and FlightAware. These requests do not include your name, contact information, passport details, documents, or packing lists.
If Plus live push updates are enabled, TravelOrbit also sends a device push token, an optional Live Activity token, a random trip identifier, flight identifiers and timing, and a limited current-moment display template (for example, route, countdown, gate, terminal, baggage, or seat labels) to TravelPal LLC's push relay hosted on Microsoft Azure. The relay uses this information to monitor the relevant flight and deliver updates through Apple's Push Notification service. It does not receive your full itinerary, traveler profile, travel documents, packing book, or companion-sharing data. Flight subscriptions are removed when the app unsubscribes, the tracking window closes, or Apple reports that a push token is no longer valid. Limited operational delivery records may be retained as needed to operate and troubleshoot the service.
On supported devices, the TravelOrbit trip assistant uses Apple's on-device Foundation Models. Your questions and itinerary context are processed on your device and are not sent to TravelPal LLC's servers. Assistant conversations are kept in memory for the current session rather than saved as a chat history.
TravelOrbit Plus purchases and subscription status are handled by Apple through the App Store and StoreKit. TravelPal LLC does not receive your payment-card details. The app reads Apple's verified transaction and entitlement information to unlock Plus features.
If you use the in-app feedback form, TravelOrbit sends your message, the optional reply email address you provide, the app version, iOS version, and device model to TravelPal LLC's support relay. The relay uses Microsoft Azure and the Resend email service to deliver the message to our support inbox. Normal network information, such as an IP address, may be processed for security and rate limiting. No trip or traveler data is included unless you choose to write it in your message. Support correspondence may be retained as needed to respond and maintain support records.
TravelOrbit does not contain third-party advertising or cross-app tracking. TravelPal LLC does not sell or rent your personal information.
You can delete trips and traveler information in the app. Deleting the app removes data stored locally on that device. Data stored in iCloud, including private device-sync data and iCloud Drive backup files, is controlled separately through your Apple account and iCloud settings. For a shared trip, leaving the trip removes your access; the owner can remove participants or stop sharing. You can contact us through the support page with questions or requests concerning feedback or relay data.
TravelOrbit relies on Apple services for iCloud, sharing, maps, weather, notifications, Live Activities, and purchases; flight-data services for flight status; Microsoft Azure for the optional live-update and feedback relay; and Resend to deliver feedback email. These providers process the limited information described above under their own terms and privacy policies.
TravelOrbit does not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
If we update this policy, the changes will be posted on this page with a revised date.
