Free Travel Buddy is a free browser trip planner. This page explains what stays on your device and what may leave the browser when you use certain features.
No account
There is no signup and no Free Travel Buddy user account. We do not ask you to create a password for the planner.
What stays on your device
Trip details you enter — such as destinations, day plans, packing lists, emergency-card notes, family contacts you add, and settings — are stored in your browser (localStorage) on your own device. Clearing site data, changing browsers, or losing the device can erase that information. We do not host a copy of your trip plan on a Free Travel Buddy account server.
Offline copies
A service worker can keep the app shell and details you have already saved so you can reopen them with a weak signal. Looking up new places, live weather, or new rates still needs internet.
When something leaves the browser
- Maps and routing: if you use route features, limited location or stop details may be sent to our routing API so a path can be calculated.
- Weather and currency: place or currency lookups may call third-party weather and exchange-rate services.
- Translation: text you choose to translate may be sent to a translation service.
- Booking and tour links: when you open a flight, stay, or tour link, you leave Free Travel Buddy and use that partner’s site under their terms and privacy policy.
- Optional feedback: if you submit the in-app feedback form, the message you type, optional email, city, and app version can be stored on our server so we can read suggestions. Feedback is optional. You can also email questions or feedback to [email protected].
We do not run third-party advertising analytics tags on this site.
Operator
Free Travel Buddy is operated by RASE Services. This page describes how the live app works today. We may update it as features change.
