Our Privacy Promise
At Liberated Paths, trust is part of the experience. Whether you are discovering a new destination, joining a gathering, creating a profile, connecting with someone in the community, or simply exploring our platform, we believe you should understand what happens with the information you share with us.
Our Approach
Your information belongs to you.
We respect your privacy, your choices, and your right to understand how your information is used.
Privacy and security are built into the Liberated Paths experience.
We work to protect your information through thoughtful product design, security practices, and responsible data handling.
We will not overwhelm you with marketing.
We may send communications when you have signed up for them or when permitted by law. You can unsubscribe or change your communication preferences at any time.
We do not sell your personal information.
Your data is not a product. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
We are thoughtful about who we work with.
When outside service providers help us operate Liberated Paths, we expect them to protect your information and use it only for the purposes necessary to provide those services.
We aim to be transparent.
We will explain what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and when it may be shared.
We use your information for the reasons we tell you about.
We do not intentionally use your personal information for unrelated purposes without providing appropriate notice or obtaining consent where required.
You have choices.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights relating to accessing, correcting, deleting, downloading, or limiting certain uses of your personal information. We will work to honor applicable requests while meeting our legal, security, and operational obligations.
About This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Liberated Paths may collect, receive, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you interact with our websites, applications, products, services, communications, events, and community features.
Because people interact with Liberated Paths in different ways, not every section of this Privacy Policy will apply to every person. Our goal is to give you a clear picture of the information practices that may apply based on how you use Liberated Paths.
As you interact with the platform, you may choose to share additional information with us. That information can help us personalize your experience, improve recommendations, make discovery more relevant, facilitate connections, and develop better experiences for the Liberated Paths community.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as Liberated Paths evolves, our services change, or legal requirements develop. When we make changes, we will update the policy on this page and revise the effective date where appropriate. If a change materially affects how we use personal information, we may provide additional notice where required.
When you provide personal information to Liberated Paths, or when information is collected through your use of our services, we handle that information as described in this Privacy Policy.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, your personal information, or your privacy choices, please contact us using the information provided in the Contact Us section below.
Age Requirements
Liberated Paths is intended for adults. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or independently use features that require the collection of personal information, unless otherwise permitted by applicable law. If we offer services that may be used by younger individuals, we will apply any additional consent or privacy requirements required by law.
What You'll Find in This Privacy Policy
1. Who We Are
The Liberated Path ("Liberated Paths," "we," "us," or "our") operates a digital travel platform that curates verified luxury destinations, publishes editorial stories and knowledge entries, and hosts a community feature called Liberated Paths Connect where members can discover gatherings, create profiles, and connect with fellow travelers.
This Privacy Policy applies to all of our services, including our website at liberatedpaths.com, our mobile applications, and any other products or features we offer. By using Liberated Paths, you agree to the information practices described in this policy.
2. What We Mean by Personal Information
"Personal information" means information that identifies, relates to, or can reasonably be linked to a particular person or household. This may include your name, email address, phone number, location, profile details, travel preferences, and information about how you interact with our platform.
It does not include de-identified or aggregated information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you. We may use and share de-identified or aggregated data for analytics, research, and service improvement without restriction.
3. Information We Collect and How We Use It
Information You Provide to Us
When you create an account, subscribe to our newsletter, submit a destination, apply to host, or contact us, you may provide information such as your name, email address, display name, bio, home city, travel preferences, and any other details you choose to share.
If you make a purchase, such as a membership subscription, we collect payment information through our payment processor (Stripe). We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.
Information We Collect Automatically
When you visit or use Liberated Paths, we may automatically collect technical information including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and general usage data. We use this information to operate, secure, and improve our services.
Information We Receive From Other Sources
We may receive information about you from third-party services. For example, if you use social login (Google, Apple, or others), we may receive your name and email address from that provider to create or link your account.
Location Information
We may collect general location information (such as city or region) to show you relevant destinations and gatherings. You can choose whether to share location data, and you can adjust these preferences in your account settings or device permissions.
Personalization and Recommendations
We use the information you share — such as preferred categories, travel personality, and saved destinations — to personalize your experience, surface relevant content, and help you discover sanctuaries that match your interests.
Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
We do not use automated decision-making to make significant decisions about you. We may use basic profiling to group users by interests or preferences for content recommendations, but these tools do not determine eligibility for services or produce legal or similarly significant effects.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how the platform is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
Who May Access Your Information
Access to personal information is limited to authorized team members who need it to operate and improve Liberated Paths. We do not give third parties access to your personal information except as described in this policy.
Service Providers and Trusted Partners
We work with trusted service providers that help us operate — including hosting, payment processing (Stripe), email delivery, and analytics. These providers may access your information only as necessary to perform their services, and we expect them to protect it consistent with this policy and applicable law.
Where Your Information Is Stored
Your information is stored on secure servers operated by our hosting provider. Data may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. We may retain certain information after account deletion where required by law, to resolve disputes, or to protect our rights and the rights of our community.
How We Protect Your Information
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information using industry-standard practices.
Third-Party Websites, Services, and Social Login
Our platform may link to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. If you use social login, the third-party provider may share certain information with us, and its privacy policy governs how it handles your data.
Social Media and User-Generated Content
If you post content on Liberated Paths — such as a profile, a message in a Sovereign Circle, or a gathering listing — that information may be visible to other members of the community according to the privacy settings you choose. Please be thoughtful about what you share.
4. Liberated Paths Connect and Community Features
Profiles
When you create a member profile, information such as your display name, bio, home city, and travel personality may be visible to other members. You can edit or update your profile at any time.
Hosts and Pathmakers
Pathmakers who host gatherings may have their display name and gathering details visible to members. Hosts can see who has RSVPed to their gatherings and manage attendee lists.
Gatherings and Events
When you RSVP to a gathering, your display name and RSVP status are visible to the host and, where relevant, to other attendees. Full addresses are revealed only to approved attendees.
Messages and Community Interactions
Messages you send in Sovereign Circles are visible to other members of that circle. We do not use private community messages for advertising.
Information You Choose to Make Public
Certain information you share — such as visit check-ins, reviews, and profile details — may be visible to other members. You are responsible for the information you choose to make public.
5. Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Accessing Your Information
You can view and manage much of your information through your account settings. If you need additional access, you can contact us as described in the Contact Us section.
Correcting Your Information
You can edit your profile and account information at any time. If you need help correcting something you cannot change yourself, contact us.
Deleting Your Information
You can request deletion of your account and associated personal information. We may retain certain information where required by law or for legitimate business purposes. You can also delete your account directly from your profile settings.
Communication Preferences
You can unsubscribe from newsletters and marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in any email or by adjusting your preferences in your account. Transactional messages related to your account or membership may still be sent where necessary.
Cookie and Tracking Choices
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how the platform functions.
State and Regional Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These may include the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information as defined by applicable law.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. If we make material changes that affect how we use your personal information, we will provide notice through the platform or by other appropriate means.
