This Privacy Policy explains how the Trinidad Visitor Guide app ("the app," "we," "us") handles information. We built this app to help visitors explore Trinidad, Colorado. We respect your privacy and collect as little information as possible.
The app does not ask you to create an account, sign in, or provide any personal information to browse and use it. When you simply browse, we do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, or precise device location. The only exception is if you choose to submit an event, described below. We do not track you across other apps or websites, and we do not sell any data.
We collect a small amount of anonymous, non-personal usage information to understand how many people use the app and keep it running well:
If you choose to submit an event to the guide, we collect the event details you enter plus your name and phone number, so the guide's editor can check details with you. Your name and phone number are seen only by the editor and are never shown in the app.
If you use Upload a flyer photo, the photo you take or choose is resized on your device and sent to an AI service (Anthropic's Claude API) only to read the event details off the flyer. The text it reads is used to fill in the form for you to review. We do not store the photo. This is entirely optional, and you can always type the details instead.
The app does not request or use your device's GPS or precise location. When you tap an address or a "See Google reviews" link, the app opens your device's own maps application (such as Google Maps), which is a separate app governed by its own privacy policy.
The app relies on a few third-party services to function: a content database (Supabase) that stores the listing information shown in the app, a public weather service (Open-Meteo) for current conditions, and, only when you use Upload a flyer photo, Anthropic's Claude API to read the flyer photo. When you follow a link to view a place or its reviews, Google Maps opens and is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. We do not control these third-party services and encourage you to review their privacy policies.
The app includes a private administrator area used only by the app's owner to update listings. It requires a separate email-and-password sign-in that is not available to, or shown to, regular users. Regular visitors never sign in and are never asked for credentials.
The app is a general-audience travel guide and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Because we do not collect personal information from users, there is no personal user data for us to retain or delete. The anonymous usage counts described above contain no personal identifiers.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
