Privacy Policy

Who we are

Epic Life Planner (“we,” “us”) operates this website and the weekly issue from Memphis, Tennessee. We send personalized outing and travel recommendations by email. We do not book tickets, hotels, or flights for you.

What we collect

We collect the information you give us and a little that the service needs to run:

• Account. Name, email address, and a hashed password if you register that way. We also store whether the email is verified. If you continue with Google, Google shares your name and email with us so we can create or sign in to the account.
• Household and preferences. Household shape (solo, couple, or family), children’s ages when you provide them, zip code, drive time, local and yearly budgets, interests, preferred days and times, special dates you add (birthdays, anniversaries, and the like), and accessibility notes such as a nap window, stroller-friendly only, or avoiding crowds. We look up city and coordinates from the zip so we can rank nearby events.
• Billing. If you start a paid trial or subscription, Stripe collects your payment method. We store a Stripe customer id and subscription status. We do not see or store your full card number.
• Session. A login cookie, plus IP address and browser user agent on the session record, so we can keep you signed in and notice abuse.
• Product use. Past issues, picks you swap or skip, and the profile settings you change later.
• Sell-out alerts. We store whether you asked to be texted if a pick is about to sell out. We do not collect a phone number today, and we do not send texts until we do.
• Google Calendar (optional). If you connect Google Calendar, we receive tokens to read events so we can plan around what is already on the calendar, and to create events when you tap Add to calendar. You can disconnect that from Profile.

We do not run advertising pixels or third-party analytics on the site today.

How we use it

We use this information to:

• Create your account, verify your email, and let you sign in.
• Rank events and write a weekly issue for your household, including sending household context (name, email, location, ages, budgets, interests, special dates, and constraints) to an AI model provider so the issue can be researched and written.
• Email the weekly issue, plus account mail such as verification and password reset.
• Process trials, subscriptions, refunds, and cancellations.
• If you connect Google Calendar, avoid conflicts with events already on it and add picks you choose.
• Respond to you and keep the service working and secure.

How we share it

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do share it with companies that help us run the product:

• Stripe for payment processing and the customer billing portal.
• Email delivery (Resend in production, or a local mail server in development) to send account mail.
• Hosting, database, and file storage for the website, worker, and images.
• Google if you sign in with Google or connect Calendar. Google’s own privacy policy then also applies to data they hold.
• AI model providers to research and write recommendations from the household context described above.

Those processors may only use the data to provide their service to us. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect people from serious harm.

Cookies

We use a session cookie so you stay signed in. That is the cookie that matters. We do not use advertising cookies. You can block cookies in your browser; you will need to allow the session cookie to use the dashboard.

Households and children

Epic Life Planner is for adults. You must be 18 or older to create an account. If you add children to a household, you are the one providing their ages and constraints. We use that only to keep recommendations age-appropriate. We do not create accounts for children, and we do not knowingly collect information directly from anyone under 13. If you think we have, write to us and we will delete it.

How long we keep it

We keep your account, household, and issue history while the account is open. If you delete the account, we cancel any Stripe subscription and delete household, preference, and pick data we control. Stripe and our email provider may keep records they are required to keep (for example, billing or delivery logs). Session records expire on their own.

Your choices

• Update name, household, interests, and delivery settings in the app.
• Cancel a paid plan from Profile. Access continues through the end of the paid period unless a refund applies under the Terms of Use.
• Delete the account from Profile. That cannot be undone.
• Unsubscribe from the weekly issue by deleting the account or dropping to a plan that does not include it. Account mail (security and billing) may still go to the address on file.

US state privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information we have, to correct it, to delete it, and to opt out of “sale” or “sharing” as those words are defined under state law. We do not sell or share personal information in that sense. You can exercise access, correction, and deletion from Profile, or by writing to us. We will not discriminate against you for using these rights. If someone is authorized to act for you, we may need to verify that.

Security

We hash passwords, restrict who can reach production systems, and use reputable processors for cards and mail. No internet service is perfectly secure. If we learn of a breach that affects you, we will notify you as the law requires.

Changes

If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will update the date at the top and, when the change is material, tell you by email or in the product. Continued use after the change takes effect means you accept the updated policy.
