Privacy Policy

Last updated September 29, 2026

Hi, I'm the dad who built Plan My Park. It started as a spreadsheet-turned-app to plan our own family trips, and it kind of took off from there. I still run it myself, so here's the plain-English version of how your information is handled: I collect only what the planner actually needs, I never sell your information, and I don't use advertising trackers. If any of this ever changes in a way that matters to you, I'll tell you plainly, not bury it in fine print.

What I collect

Your account: your email address and, if you choose, your name. If you sign in with Google, Google shares your name, email address and profile picture with me. I don't get your Google password.
Your trip plan: what you enter, such as dates, hotel, park days, rankings, reservations, and the people in your group (first names or nicknames, ages, heights for kids under 48 inches, and ride or food preferences).
Test mode: if you try the planner without an account, your plan is saved only in your own browser's local storage; nothing is backed up on my end. If you clear your browser's data, switch devices or browsers, or use private/incognito mode, that plan can be lost for good, with no way for me to recover it. Create a free account any time to actually keep it safe.
Visit statistics: a random visit ID (and a random ID kept in your browser to count return visits), how many minutes the page was open and in use, whether you used a phone or computer, which website sent you, and whether you used test mode or created an account. I don't use cookies or outside analytics services for this; it's a simple homemade counter so I can tell whether people are actually using the site or just peeking once and leaving, which helps me decide what's worth building next.
Emails you ask for: trip reminders and invitations you send to family.

How I use it

To run the planner and save your trip.
To share your trip with the people you invite.
To send emails you signed up for (account confirmations, reminders and invitations). Marketing emails are only sent if you opt in, and every one has a way to stop them.
To understand, in total numbers, how people use the site so I can improve it.

Who I share it with

I don't sell or rent your information. Full stop. I use a few service providers to run the site, and they handle data only on my behalf:

Supabase: database and sign-in
Cloudflare: website hosting and the "are you human" check
Resend: sending email
Google: only if you choose "Sign in with Google"

Links to park apps, restaurants, maps and videos open those sites, which have their own privacy policies.

How Plan My Park stays free

Keeping this free (and keeping it running) costs real money, so my plan is to fund it through affiliate links rather than ads, trackers, or a subscription. Some links on the site, like shopping picks, travel gear, hotels, and tickets, are or will become affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. I only recommend things I'd actually tell you to buy as a fellow parent planning a trip. If you buy through one of these links, that store may tell me a sale happened, but not who you are.

Children

Accounts are for adults planning trips. Details about kids in a group (like a first name, age and height) are entered by a parent or guardian to plan rides. I don't knowingly collect information directly from children under 13.

Your choices

Edit or delete anything in your trip at any time.
Remove people you've shared a trip with.
Ask me to delete your account and everything in it by emailing [email protected].

Keeping it safe

Your data is stored with Supabase, protected with sign-in and database rules so only you and the people you invite can see your trips. No system is perfect, so please don't enter sensitive information you don't need for planning.

If Plan My Park is ever sold

I built this for my own kids, and my hope is to keep running it myself. But if it ever grew into something a bigger company wanted to acquire, here's my commitment: if Plan My Park is acquired, merges with another company, or sells substantially all of its assets, your information may transfer as part of that deal, the same as any other business asset. But whoever it transfers to has to keep honoring this policy as it stood at the time you gave me your information; they can't start selling data I promised never to sell, or use it in a materially different way, without asking you first. I'll notify account holders by email if this ever happens.

Changes

If I change this policy, I'll update the date above. For big changes, or any change to how I use information you already gave me, I'll let account holders know by email and, where the law requires it, ask first before applying it to data I already have.

Contact

Questions? Email [email protected]; it comes straight to me.

Plan My Park is an independent trip planner. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Disney or Universal.
