What Astro Abroad collects, why, who it is shared with, and how to delete your account.
Last updated November 9, 2026
This page explains, in plain language, what Astro Abroad collects, why, and what you can do about it. Astro Abroad is free for students and does not sell your data.
What we collect
- Your account details: email address and name.
- Profile details you choose to add: your study-abroad city, semester dates, interests, a short bio and a photo.
- What you create in the app: trip plans and saved itineraries, budget entries, flight watches, and messages you send to our team or to other students.
- Anonymous usage statistics (which pages are visited), collected with Vercel Analytics without advertising cookies.
How we use it
- To run the app: build your trip plans, save them, and show you recommendations for your city.
- To answer you when you message us.
- To understand which pages and guides are useful, so we can improve them.
Who we share it with
- Service providers that run the app for us: Supabase (database and sign-in), Vercel (hosting) and OpenAI (generating trip plans from the trip details you enter). They process data only to provide those services.
- Booking links to sites such as GetYourGuide and Booking.com are affiliate links: we may earn a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you. We do not send them your personal details; what you share on their sites is covered by their own privacy policies.
- We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with advertisers.
Your choices
- You can edit your profile at any time.
- You can delete your account and its data from your Profile page, or by emailing us.
- Questions or requests about your data: email the address on our Contact page.
