3. Google Sign-In
Users may choose to sign in with Google.

5. Sharing of Information
Tagalong may share information with service providers that help operate the app, with other users when profile or trip information is intentionally visible in the app, and when required by law or a valid legal process. Tagalong does not sell personal data.
6. Location Data
If enabled by the user, location information may be used to surface nearby adventures, make discovery more relevant, and improve the user experience. Users can manage location permissions through their device settings.
7. Data Retention
Tagalong retains personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, operate the platform, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal, fraud-prevention, or security obligations.

Tagalong is not intended for children under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures intended to protect personal information. However, no system can guarantee absolute security.
