Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 26, 2024

Tayar Guide ("we", "our", "us") connects Jewish travelers with local guides and culturally relevant experiences. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in three ways:

  • Information you provide voluntarily. Account details, profile information, location submissions, reviews, photos, and messages sent through our contact forms or Livewire-powered components.
  • Automatic data. Log data (IP address, browser, device identifiers), usage analytics, and cookies that help us keep the service secure and remember preferences.
  • Location context. When enabled, we infer your approximate location to personalize nearby content. You can disable or clear this data using your browser or device settings.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

  • Create, manage, and secure user accounts.
  • Publish community contributions such as guides, reviews, and location listings.
  • Operate core features, including notifications, moderation workflows, and analytics.
  • Respond to support requests and provide customer service.
  • Maintain platform integrity, detect fraud or abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

3. When We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with trusted service providers who help us run the platform (for example, hosting, email, analytics, payment, or support vendors). These providers must follow contractual obligations that protect your privacy. We may also disclose information if required by law, to enforce our policies, or to protect the rights or safety of our community.

4. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, keep you signed in, analyze usage, and improve performance. You can adjust cookie preferences in your browser. Third-party analytics tools may set their own cookies; they only provide us with aggregated insights, not direct identifiers.

5. Your Choices & Rights

  • Update profile details and privacy preferences in your account settings.
  • Request copies, corrections, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us.
  • Unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the links included in the message.
  • Disable browser-based location or cookie access at any time.

If you are located in a region with specific data rights (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), we honor those rights in line with applicable regulations.

6. Data Retention & Security

We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. We apply administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your data. No system is completely secure, so we encourage strong passwords and keeping your account credentials confidential.

7. Children's Privacy

Tayar Guide is designed for adults and older teens exploring or sharing travel experiences. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

8. International Visitors

Our primary operations are in the United States. By using Tayar Guide, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Updates will be posted here with a revised “Last updated” date. Significant changes will be communicated through email or in-app notifications when appropriate.
