Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how the Global Immerse Ltd Android application handles information. The app provides a locally bundled cultural-travel catalogue, saved journeys, programme details, language-service information, a travel-enquiry builder, and email-based communication.
Information we collect
The app does not automatically collect personal information, advertising identifiers, precise location, contacts, photographs, microphone recordings, analytics data, or payment information. It does not create user accounts and does not connect to a developer-operated backend or cloud database.
Information users enter
The enquiry builder allows you to enter or select the following, entirely at your discretion:
- Full name and email address
- Optional phone number and nationality
- Number of travellers and preferred travel window
- Interests and language-support preference
- Selected programme, plus optional notes or accessibility requests
How we use information
Information entered in the enquiry builder is used to prepare a structured travel-enquiry email. The app does not send this information automatically. It opens an external email application, where you can review, edit, discard, or send the message to info@globalimmerse.online.
Local data storage
The app uses Android SharedPreferences to store selected journey identifiers, an optional enquiry draft, and a limited local enquiry history. The draft may include the information described in Section 3. Enquiry-history records contain the programme name, creation time, traveller count, and a local status such as "Prepared".
Third-party services
The app does not include Firebase, analytics, advertising SDKs, authentication services, payment gateways, cloud databases, tracking SDKs, or social-media SDKs. Destination and brand images are bundled within the application and are not downloaded from image hosts while the app runs.
Data sharing
The developer does not automatically transmit, sell, or rent user information through the app. Information is shared only when you choose to send an enquiry or contact message through an external email application. Your chosen email provider then processes that message under its own privacy policy and terms.
Data retention
Saved journeys, enquiry drafts, and local enquiry-history records remain on the device until they are changed, removed, app storage is cleared, or the app is uninstalled. A sent email may be retained by your email provider and the receiving business mailbox according to their respective retention practices.
Data security
The application limits persistent storage to app preferences and enquiry-related information required for its local features. Users should not enter passwords, payment-card details, passport numbers, or other highly sensitive information in the enquiry notes. No claim is made that external email providers or websites are protected by a particular certification.
Permissions
The current Android manifest does not request camera, microphone, contacts, precise location, storage, notification, phone, or internet permissions. The app uses Android intents to open an email application and, from the Contact screen, an external web browser. These external applications operate independently.
Children's privacy
The app presents travel and cultural programme information and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children. A parent, guardian, school, or responsible adult should supervise communications made on behalf of a minor. A parent or guardian may contact the developer regarding information received by email.
External links & communication apps
The Contact screen can open the Global Immerse Ltd website in an external browser and can open an email application. The external browser, website host, and email provider have their own privacy policies and data-handling practices.
Your choices
You may browse programmes and language services without entering personal information. You may choose not to save a journey, not to create or send an enquiry, edit or clear your draft, clear app storage through Android settings, or uninstall the application.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the application's features or information-handling practices change. A revised version will display a new effective date.
