Leave Privacy Policy

Overview

Leave helps groups plan and manage trips together. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

Information We Collect

Depending on how you use Leave, we may collect:

• Account information such as your name and email address.
• Profile details, usernames, and photos you upload.
• Trip content you create, including itineraries, notes, tasks, polls, and chat messages.
• Photos, receipts, documents, and other files you choose to upload.
• Expense and payment-related information used to organize and settle group costs.
• Precise location information when you turn on trip location sharing or choose to share your current location in a trip.
• Device and notification information needed to support sign-in and push notifications.

Location Sharing

Leave only collects your precise location for trip location sharing when you explicitly enable that feature and grant location permission on your device. Location sharing is off by default.

• Your shared trip location is associated with your account and your membership in the active trip.
• Your shared location is visible to active members of the same trip while location sharing is enabled.
• Leave is designed for foreground, trip-scoped sharing. We do not use background location tracking for this feature.
• Shared live locations are treated as temporary. They stop appearing after about 30 minutes unless updated again.
• If you disable location sharing, Leave clears your latest shared live location for that trip.
• Account deletion or trip deletion removes live location data tied to that account or trip.

How We Use Information

• To provide the Leave app and its core trip-planning features.
• To authenticate users and keep accounts secure.
• To support collaboration features such as chat, polls, notes, itineraries, and shared expenses.
• To show your current trip location to active members of the same trip when you enable trip location sharing.
• To send notifications, trip updates, and account-related messages.
• To improve product reliability, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot issues.

Sharing

We may share information with service providers that help us operate Leave, such as hosting, authentication, payments, email delivery, and push notifications. We may also share information when required by law or to protect users and the service.

When trip location sharing is enabled, your latest shared location is shared with active members of the same trip. It is not shared with members of other trips unless you separately enable location sharing for those trips.

Retention and Deletion

We retain account and trip information for as long as needed to provide Leave, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Shared live location data is temporary: it is no longer shown after about 30 minutes unless updated, is cleared when you turn off trip location sharing, and is removed when the related account or trip is deleted.

Your Choices

You may choose what content you upload and share in Leave. You can also turn trip location sharing on or off from the app, revoke location permission in your device settings, and contact us to request help with account or privacy questions.
