Privacy Policy — Wayfare

Wayfare is a travel/community directory app published by LeadRescue LLC. This policy is short because there isn't much to say: Wayfare collects no personal data. No accounts, no location permission, and no network access of any kind in this build.

The short version

No account, no sign-up, no email address, no phone number — ever. There is

nothing to log into.

No location permission of any kind (ACCESSFINELOCATION /

ACCESSCOARSELOCATION). City selection is always manual — you pick your home city and any travel destination yourself, from a short list. Wayfare never asks Android for your device's location.

No network permission (INTERNET) in this build. Wayfare cannot connect to

the internet even if it wanted to; every venue, event, organization, and safety-info listing you see is bundled with the app itself and stored in a local, on-device database.

No analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising SDK of any kind.
No profiles, no messaging, no matching — Wayfare is a browsing and

trip-planning tool, not a social or dating app, so there is no user-to-user data of any kind to collect in the first place.

Why we can make these claims literally, not just as policy

app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml does not request the INTERNET permission, ACCESSNETWORKSTATE, ACCESSFINELOCATION, or ACCESSCOARSELOCATION. On Android, an app without the INTERNET permission is blocked by the operating system itself from opening any network socket — enforced below the level of our own code, by the same sandboxing mechanism that keeps apps from reading each other's files. There is no server for Wayfare to send data to, because the app has no path to the network in the first place. You do not have to trust our intentions on this point — you can inspect the app's manifest and permission declarations yourself.

What data Wayfare stores, and where

Wayfare stores two kinds of information, both entirely on your device:

1. The bundled directory content itself — venue, event, organization, and safety-info listings for the app's sample cities — in a local database on your device. This is app content, not user data; it ships with the app and is the same for every installation. 2. A small set of your own preferences: which city you've set as "home" for LOCAL mode, whether you've completed the onboarding screen, your light/dark theme choice, and any trip (destination city + dates) you've planned in the Trip Planner. All of this lives only in the app's private storage on your device. None of it is transmitted anywhere, because the app has no network access.

What we do not do

We do not collect your home city, planned trips, or theme preference —

they never leave your device.

We do not use analytics, crash reporting, or advertising SDKs.
We do not have user accounts, so there is no account data to store, sell,

or lose in a breach.

We do not request your device's location.
We do not sell or share any data with third parties, because we do not

collect any to begin with.

About the sample data in this build

Venue, event, and organization listings currently shown in Wayfare are placeholder/sample data written for this early build — clearly labeled "SAMPLE DATA" throughout the app — while real data partnerships are developed. Safety-info notes are general, publicly-known information (e.g. a country's legal status on same-sex marriage), explicitly labeled as general information and not legal advice. None of this changes the data practices described above.

Children

Wayfare is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, of any age, because it does not collect information from anyone at all.

Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes, the "Last updated" date above will change, and the new policy will be included with the app update. Any change that would add network functionality, accounts, or location access would be a fundamental change to the product and would be called out explicitly and prominently.
