Privacy Policy
Last updated: 8 June 2026
This policy explains how Imawaynow (“we”, “us”) collects, uses and shares personal data when you use imawaynow.com and book.imawaynow.com (the “Service”). For data-protection purposes, Imawaynow is the data controller for the data described here. Contact us at hello@imawaynow.com.
1. What we collect
- Account data — your email address and a securely hashed password.
- Trip searches — origins, destinations, dates, budgets, vibes and any free-text notes you add.
- Travel profile — preferences you save (flights, hotels, events) and how you feel about destinations.
- Saved trips — plans you choose to bookmark.
- Booking data — when you book a hotel, the booking and payment are handled on our behalf by our partner LiteAPI’s booking platform. We do not store your card details.
- Technical data — a session cookie to keep you logged in, plus basic logs (IP, timestamps) for security and reliability.
2. How we use it
- To run searches and produce ranked trip plans.
- To personalise results using your profile and preferences.
- To process hotel bookings through our partner.
- To keep the Service secure, prevent abuse and fix problems.
- To communicate with you about your account or bookings.
3. AI processing
To rank trips and write the plain-language explanations you see, we send the details of your search — including your trip preferences and any free-text notes — to our AI provider (Moonshot AI / “Kimi”) for processing. Please avoid putting sensitive personal information in free-text notes.
4. Who we share it with
We share data only as needed to provide the Service, and we do not sell your personal data:
- LiteAPI — hotel inventory and bookings; acts as our processor for booking and payment data under a Data Processing Agreement. When you proceed to book, we may sign you into the booking site using your name and email so you don’t have to log in again.
- Travelpayouts / Aviasales — flight and travel partner links and monetisation. Clicking a flight link takes you to a partner site governed by its own privacy policy.
- Moonshot AI (Kimi) — AI ranking of your search (see section 3).
- Data providers used to build results — SerpApi (prices), Ticketmaster and Eventbrite (events). These receive search parameters such as city and dates, not your account identity.
- Infrastructure — Microsoft Azure (hosting), Neon (database) and Cloudflare (DNS).
5. Cookies
- Essential — a session cookie that keeps you logged in. Always on; the site can’t work without it.
- Partner (optional) — with your consent, we load Travelpayouts “Drive”, which may set cookies to attribute travel bookings. It is not loaded unless you accept via our cookie banner, and you can decline.
6. How long we keep it
- Account & profile — until you ask us to delete it.
- Search jobs — periodically removed (typically within about a week).
- Saved trips — until you delete them (from your Saved page) or delete your account.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, the UK/EU under UK GDPR / GDPR), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, port or object to the processing of your data, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these, email hello@imawaynow.com.
8. International transfers
Some partners and providers may process data outside your country. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses).
9. Children
The Service is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
10. Changes
We may update this policy; the “last updated” date will change and material changes will be highlighted where appropriate.
