You can disable location services in your device settings at any time, but some features may not work properly. Background location access is strictly opt‑in and used solely for emergency proximity alerts.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. If you permanently delete your account, we will delete or anonymise your information within 90 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal, fraud prevention, or legitimate business purposes. Anonymised scam reports may remain to protect future travellers. Deactivated accounts are retained to allow easy reactivation (see next section).
Account Deactivation & Deletion
You have full control over your account status. You can manage it directly in the Tourixt app:
- Open the app and go to your Profile.
- Tap Settings.
- Select Delete Account.
- You will be presented with two choices:
- Deactivate Account — temporarily suspend your profile. Your content is hidden from other users, but your data is preserved so you can reactivate anytime.
- Permanently Delete Account — erase your account and all associated personal information. This action is irreversible.
- Confirm your choice by entering your password.
After deactivation, you can reactivate your account simply by logging back in with your credentials. Permanent deletion will remove your data within 90 days, except anonymised scam reports which may be kept to protect the community.
If you encounter any issues, you can also contact us at contact@tourixt.com and we'll assist you within 30 days.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including:
- Encryption in transit using TLS (Transport Layer Security)
- Encryption at rest for stored data
- Access controls restricting who can view sensitive data
- Regular security audits to identify and address vulnerabilities
Important: No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Data Transfers
Data may be stored or processed on servers located outside your country of residence, including in the European Union, United States, and other jurisdictions. For transfers from the EEA/UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure your data receives an adequate level of protection.
Third‑Party Links
The Service may contain links to third‑party sites or services (e.g., payment processors, map providers). We are not responsible for their privacy practices or content. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third‑party services you interact with.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via the App or email. Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. We recommend reviewing this page periodically for updates.
