Travel Lanka Planner · Updated 14 October 2026

Travel Lanka Planner helps you plan trips in Sri Lanka. Contact the app owner, Wihanga Jayalath, at wihangagame@gmail.com about privacy, support or deletion.

Planning on your device

You can use the planner without signing in. Guest trips, itinerary edits, travel budgets, group names and expenses, receipt photos, language, settings, cached map records and reports are stored in your browser on your device. Receipt recognition processes the selected image in the browser; it downloads recognition software and language files. The app does not upload receipt photos for recognition. Exported backups and expense files go to a destination you choose.

Optional sign-in and cloud trips

Signing in with ChatGPT provides this app with a site-specific user identifier, your email and your display name when available. These details identify your app profile and the trips you choose to save to your account. A cloud-saved trip contains the itinerary, dates, places, preferences, accommodation information, planning estimates and notes included in that trip. The app does not receive your ChatGPT password. Guest expense records and receipt photos are not part of the cloud trip-saving feature.

If you choose an accident, illness or rest-related replanning option, the resulting reason and timetable status can be included in a trip you save to your account. Travel budgets and accommodation cost estimates are also included. Avoid putting passport details, payment-card details or detailed medical information in trip notes. Cloud trips remain until you remove them individually or use the data-deletion feature. Signing out alone does not delete cloud trips.

Location and live information

Location is requested only when you choose a location button and grant browser permission. Exact starting coordinates are used in memory for route-distance calculations on your device. Nearby-place and weather requests use the selected area's coordinates. The app has no background location tracking.

Booked-stay details are different from the live starting point: an exact stay address or map pin you add, including a GPS pin captured with the current-stay location button, becomes part of that trip. It stays on your device for a guest trip and is sent to the app's database if you sign in and cloud-save that trip. Opening a saved map link sends the pin to the selected map provider. You can edit or remove the stay details before saving or sharing a trip.

Live features contact third-party services: Open-Meteo for weather, Frankfurter for exchange rates, OpenStreetMap contributors and map-tile providers for maps, Overpass providers for nearby-place records, and Wikipedia/Wikimedia and Unsplash for images. Requests can include the selected area, a stay name you search, currency codes and the usual network information, such as your IP address. Providers apply their own privacy terms. You can disable live data and destination images in Cookie & data settings.

Hosting, browsers and essential storage

The website and cloud records run on OpenAI Sites infrastructure, including Cloudflare hosting and database services. Hosting and sign-in providers may process connection logs, security information and essential authentication cookies under their own terms. The app uses essential browser storage for its features. It does not include advertising or app analytics trackers.

The Android edition opens the same website through a supported browser using Android Browser Helper. The browser receives the website URLs and manages its own cookies, site permissions and storage. Browser settings and Android app storage can be separate; clearing one may leave the other intact.

Earlier payment tests

All app features are currently free and new subscriptions are paused. Earlier Stripe Sandbox test records may contain an email, customer identifier, plan and subscription status. No real money is collected by those tests. Stripe applies its own retention rules to records in its systems. Manage an earlier sandbox subscription from Profile before deleting your app profile if you need access to its management link.

Delete or export your data

Use Delete Travel Lanka data in the app or on the web. You can clear device data separately, or sign in to delete all cloud-saved trips and the Travel Lanka app profile associated with that sign-in. This does not delete your separate ChatGPT account or provider-held security logs and Stripe records. The public deletion page also explains how to contact support if you cannot sign in.

Clearing data does not remove backups or files you already exported, browser data on other devices, or copies you shared elsewhere. Remove those copies separately. Export and import controls are in the app's Owner update panel; individually saved trips can also be removed from My trip.

Changes

The date above identifies the current policy. If the app's data handling changes, this page will be updated.
