Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 25, 2026

Lumela ("Lumela", "we", "us") is a group travel app for planning trips together — itineraries, shared expenses, live location, reminders, documents, and contacts. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. Questions? Email hello@lumela.tours.

Information we collect

• Account details — your name, email address and/or phone number, and (if you sign in with Apple, Google, or Telegram) the basic profile your provider returns. Used to create your account and sign you in.
• Content you create — trips, events, tasks and reminders, documents and files, expenses and receipts, contacts you choose to import, locations, and messages. This is stored to provide the service and is visible only to the members of your groups.
• Location — only when you choose to share your live location with a group. Location sharing is always opt‑in and can be turned off at any time.
• Device & push tokens — a push notification token so we can deliver notifications you've enabled.
• Usage analytics — collected only after you give explicit in‑app consent, and used to understand and improve the app.

How we use your information

• To provide, maintain, and improve Lumela and its features.
• To sync your content across your devices and share it with your chosen group members.
• To send notifications you've enabled (for example, expense activity or trip updates).
• To keep the service secure and prevent abuse.

How your information is stored

Data is stored on Google Firebase (Firestore, Cloud Storage, and Authentication) on secure infrastructure with encryption in transit and at rest. We retain your data while your account is active and delete it on request as described below.

Sharing & third parties

Group content is visible to members of that group only. We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with infrastructure and service providers required to operate Lumela:

• Google Firebase — hosting, database, file storage, and authentication.
• Apple Push Notification service — to deliver push notifications.
• RevenueCat — to manage Lumela+ subscriptions (if you subscribe).
• AI providers — if you use the optional AI assistant, the relevant request content is sent to the AI provider to generate a response. The assistant is off by default.

Your rights & choices

• Access & deletion — you can delete your account at any time from within the app (Settings → Delete Account), which removes your account and personal content. You can also email us to request access or deletion.
• Location — turn live location sharing on or off whenever you like.
• Analytics — opt in or out of analytics in the app.
• Notifications — manage or disable push notifications in your device settings.

Children

Lumela is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

We'll update this page whenever we make a material change to how we handle your data.
