Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 23, 2026

At NomadSync, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it. We believe in transparency and keeping things simple.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you sign up via Google OAuth, we receive:

  • Your name and email address
  • Your Google profile picture (optional)
  • A unique identifier from Google

We do not have access to your Google password or any other Google services.

Trip & Travel Data

To provide our core service, we store:

  • Countries you've visited
  • Entry and exit dates
  • Passport nationality (for visa calculations)
  • Notes you add to trips

Usage Data

We use PostHog for product analytics to improve NomadSync:

  • Pages visited and features used
  • Device type and browser
  • General location (country level only)

Error & Performance Data

We use Sentry for error monitoring to fix bugs quickly:

  • Error messages and stack traces when something goes wrong
  • Browser, device, and OS information
  • Performance metrics (page load times)

This data helps us identify and fix issues before they affect more users.

2. How We Use Your Data

3. Browser Extension

If you use the NomadSync browser extension:

  • The extension connects to your NomadSync account via a secure token
  • It detects travel booking websites to show you relevant visa information
  • We may use affiliate links on partner sites—this is how we keep the extension free
  • The extension does not read your emails, passwords, or browsing history
  • All extension data syncs with your account and is subject to this privacy policy

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your data. Ever.

We only share data with:

  • Stripe (payments): To handle subscriptions securely
  • PostHog (analytics): Product analytics to understand feature usage
  • Sentry (error monitoring): Error tracking to fix bugs quickly
  • Email service: To send transactional emails and alerts
  • Legal requirements: If required by law or to protect our rights

All third-party services are GDPR-compliant and bound by data processing agreements.

5. Data Security

  • All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest
  • We use Google OAuth—we never store your password
  • Access to production data is limited to essential personnel
  • We use industry-standard security practices and regular audits

6. Cookies

We use cookies for:

  • Essential cookies: Keep you logged in and remember preferences
