Privacy Policy

Last updated: 31 August 2026

Astra Travel is committed to being transparent about how this site works. This policy explains what data is collected, how it's used, and your rights. It's written in plain English — no legal jargon.

1. Who We Are

Astra Travel is an AI-powered travel blog and toolset. The site is operated as an independent project. For any privacy-related enquiries, contact us at EMAIL TBD.

We collect very little data. Here is exactly what is processed:

Packing list contents Displayed to you in the browser No — lives only in your browser session
Page view analytics (if enabled) To understand site traffic Yes — anonymised via Cloudflare Analytics

We do not collect names, email addresses, or any account information. There is no login system.

3. Third-Party Services

The site uses the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy:

  • OpenRouter / Google Gemini — Used to generate AI chat responses and travel intelligence briefings. Messages are transmitted to their servers to produce responses and are not stored by us. OpenRouter Privacy Policy ↗

4. Cookies

This site does not set any first-party cookies for tracking or analytics. Third-party services (Google Fonts, Cloudflare) may set technical cookies as part of their standard operation.

If you use a browser extension such as uBlock Origin, these can be blocked without affecting your experience on this site.

5. AI-Generated Content

All city blog posts, travel highlights, and intelligence briefings on this site are generated by AI (Google Gemini via OpenRouter). They are intended for entertainment and general inspiration only.

⚠️ AI-generated travel content may be inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete. Always verify visa requirements, safety information, and travel advisories through official government sources before travelling. This site is not a substitute for professional travel or legal advice.

6. Your Rights — Global

Since we collect no personal data, most formal data protection rights (access, erasure, portability) are not applicable in practice. However, if you believe we hold any of your personal data, you may contact us to request its deletion at EMAIL TBD.
