3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: Anthropic (AI-powered content generation), Google (authentication services), database and hosting providers, caching and performance optimization services, and analytics services (when enabled).
• Public Profile Data: When you create a public profile, your display name, travel profile and preferences, saved cities and content, and match scores are publicly accessible. Your email address and account information are never made public.
• Shared Links: When you create a shareable link, the specific information you choose to share becomes accessible to anyone with that link.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.
• Business Transfers: If Jaunt is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
• With Your Consent: We may share your information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.

4. Google Sign-In

When you sign in using Google, you are also agreeing to Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We receive only the information described in Section 1.1 from Google.

You can manage your Google account settings and revoke Jaunt's access at any time through Google Account Permissions. Revoking access will prevent you from signing in but will not automatically delete your Jaunt account data. To delete your account data, please contact us.

5. Data Storage and Security

5.1 Where We Store Data

Database Storage: All persistent account data is stored in a secure database, including user account information, quiz results and preferences, saved items, share links, and authentication sessions.

Browser Session Storage: Before you sign in, quiz results are temporarily stored in your browser's session storage. This allows you to use our service anonymously and is automatically synced to our database when you sign in.

Caching: We use caching services for performance optimization. This cache does not contain personal information.

5.2 Security Measures

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), secure authentication (OAuth 2.0 via Google), database security with access controls, secure session management, and regular security updates. We do not store passwords. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

• Active accounts: Data is retained while your account is active.
• Anonymous data: Browser session data is cleared when you close your browser.
• Authenticated data: Stored until you delete your account.
• Saved items: Retained until you remove them or delete your account.
• Analytics data: Aggregated and anonymized data may be retained indefinitely.

When you delete your account, we will delete your information within 30 days and remove your public profile. To delete your account, contact us at support@jaunt.city.
