Who we are

Dry Trip (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website at drytrip.co. We are a travel directory and AI trip planner focused on alcohol-free experiences. Dry Trip is operated by Katherine Moffat, who is the data controller for the personal data described below.

What data we collect

  • Email address— when you join the waitlist, sign up via the AI chat email gate, or request a plan by email.
  • Chat messages— conversations with our AI trip planner are processed in real time to generate recommendations. We do not store chat transcripts after your session ends.
  • Usage analytics (only if you accept cookies)— we use PostHog to record page views, clicks, feature use, device type, errors and session recordings of how you move through the site. If you give us your email (for example to subscribe or receive a plan by email) and have accepted analytics, it is linked to your analytics profile. If you decline, nothing is stored on your device and no analytics events are sent.
  • Click tracking— when you click through to a venue’s external website, we record the venue, the website that referred you and whether the visit looks automated, to understand which venues are most useful.
  • Anonymous visit counts (no cookies)— we use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views, referring websites, country and device type. It sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. When you visit our newsletter or guide pages, or download the guide, we also record which channel sent you (for example Instagram or Pinterest). None of this identifies you.

How we use your data

  • To send you the trip plan you requested by email.
  • To notify you when Dry Trip launches or adds new features (if you joined the waitlist).
  • To send you Dry Dispatch, our weekly newsletter, if you subscribe. You can unsubscribe from any issue.
  • To improve the product based on usage patterns (only if you have accepted analytics cookies).
  • We never sell, share, or rent your personal data to third parties.

Third-party services

We use the following services to operate Dry Trip:

  • Supabase— database hosting (stores waitlist emails and venue data).
  • Vercel— website hosting, edge functions and cookieless visit analytics.
  • Stay22— hotel affiliate links. When you click “Stay nearby” we record the click (no personal details) and send you to Stay22, which passes you to a booking site. Stay22 and that site then apply their own privacy policies.
  • Anthropic (Claude)— AI model powering the trip planner. Chat messages are sent to Anthropic’s API for processing. See Anthropic’s privacy policy.
  • Resend— transactional email delivery.
  • Substack— hosts and sends Dry Dispatch, our newsletter. When you subscribe on Dry Trip, your email is passed to Substack. See Substack’s privacy policy.
  • PostHog(EU hosting) — product analytics and session recordings, only with your consent.
  • Mapbox— the interactive maps on the directory and venue pages. Mapbox receives your IP address and stores a small identifier in your browser to operate the map.

Cookies

We ask before using analytics. If you click Accept, PostHog stores cookies and local-storage identifiers so we can understand how the site is used. If you click Decline, no analytics identifiers are stored and you can still use everything on the site. You can change your mind at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser. We also store your cookie choice, and your email if you give it to us, in your browser’s local storage so we don’t ask again. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking.

Your rights

You have the right to:

  • Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
  • Request deletion of your data (email us and we will remove your email from our waitlist within 7 days).
  • Unsubscribe from any emails at any time.
  • Withdraw consent to analytics at any time.
  • Complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk) if you’re unhappy with how we handle your data.

We rely on your consent for analytics, and on our legitimate interest in running and improving the service for everything else (such as sending a plan you asked for).

Data retention

Waitlist emails are retained until you request removal or we delete them after the product has launched and you have been notified. Click tracking data is retained in aggregate form indefinitely. Chat messages are not stored after your browser session ends.
