We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII).
va$ooli is a personal project, not a commercial product. We have no interest in your personal data.
Please be mindful and avoid entering sensitive personal information — full legal names, government IDs,
financial account numbers, passwords, or health information — into the app.
What data is stored
va$ooli stores only the information you explicitly enter to use the app:
- Group names and group codes (slugs)
- Names you enter for people in a group (first names or nicknames are fine)
- Expense descriptions, amounts, dates, and categories
- Trip details — destination, dates, notes
- Booking information — flights, hotels, activities you add
- Tasks and task assignments
- Files you upload as attachments (receipts, documents)
All data is stored in a private MySQL database hosted on Turbify shared hosting in the United States.
What we do NOT store
- Email addresses (unless you choose to send a trip report)
- Passwords or authentication credentials
- Device identifiers, IP addresses, or location data
- Browsing history or behavioral data
- Payment information of any kind
- Any information about you beyond what you type into the app
Your browser's local storage
va$ooli stores your chosen identity (the name you pick when joining a group) in your browser's
localStorage.
This stays on your device only — it is never sent to our servers. Clearing your browser data removes it.
We do not use tracking cookies or any third-party analytics.
Third-party services
va$ooli uses the following external services to provide specific features:
- Cloudinary — stores files you upload as attachments (receipts, documents).
Files are stored on Cloudinary's servers. Cloudinary Privacy Policy ↗
- Mailgun — sends trip report emails when you request them.
Your email address is used only to deliver the report and is not stored by us.

Data sharing
We do not sell, trade, or share your data with any third parties beyond the service providers
listed above, which are necessary to operate the app.
Group data is accessible to anyone who has the group code or link — so share group links
only with people you trust.
Data retention
Group data is retained indefinitely unless you request deletion. There is no automatic
expiry — your trip data stays available as long as you need it.
Uploaded files (attachments) are stored on Cloudinary and are retained until deleted
from within the app or upon a deletion request.
Requesting data deletion
To request deletion of your group data or uploaded files, email us at
privacy@getvasooli.com with your group name or code.
We will delete your data within 30 days.

This policy may be updated from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects
