Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what data VantageTrip ("we," "us," "our") collects, why we collect it, and how it's stored and protected.

1. What We Collect

Data	Why we collect it
Name, email, phone, country	Account creation and identification
Referral code & referral relationships	To track and pay referral rewards correctly
Booking activity (via Trip.com tracking tag)	To calculate and credit your cashback
Identity documents (ID photo, selfie)	Only if you request a withdrawal — required for verification
WhatsApp number (optional)	Support communication, if you choose to provide it

We do not collect or store your payment card details, bank login credentials, or passwords in plain text — authentication is handled securely by Google Firebase.

2. How We Store Your Data

• Account & booking data is stored using Google Firebase (Firestore), a secure cloud database. Access is restricted by security rules so that only you can read your own data, and only VantageTrip administrators can access data needed for account review, fraud prevention, or support.
• Identity verification documents (ID photos, selfies) are stored on our own web server, in a folder that is not publicly browsable and is protected against directory listing. Only you and VantageTrip administrators can access your own submitted documents.

3. How Your Booking Is Tracked

When you search or book through VantageTrip while logged in, we attach a tracking code (unique to your account) to the link that sends you to Trip.com. This lets Trip.com's own reporting tell us which bookings came from which VantageTrip member, so we can credit the correct cashback to the correct account. Trip.com receives this tracking code but does not receive your VantageTrip password or any other account details beyond what you provide directly to them during your own booking.

4. Who We Share Data With

• Trip.com (and any future travel partners): only the tracking code described above, plus whatever information you choose to provide them directly during your own booking.
• Google Firebase: our database and authentication provider, used to securely store and process account data.
• We do not sell your personal data to third parties, and do not share your identity verification documents with anyone outside VantageTrip except as required by law.

5. Your Choices

• You can update your profile information (name, phone, country) at any time from your account Settings.
• You may request account deletion by contacting us via WhatsApp — we will remove your personal profile data, subject to any records we're legally required to retain (e.g. for financial/fraud record-keeping related to withdrawals already processed).
• You are not required to submit identity verification documents unless you wish to withdraw cashback.

6. Cookies & Local Storage

VantageTrip uses browser storage required for basic site function (keeping you signed in, remembering your language preference) and does not use third-party advertising cookies or trackers.

7. Children

VantageTrip is not directed at, and should not be used by, anyone under the age of 18.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
