1. Introduction

At Lux Travely, your privacy isn't just a policy — it's a promise. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you use our platform and services. We are committed to transparency and to giving you control over your data.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

  • Account Information: Name, email address, phone number, and profile photo.

  • Legal Obligations: We may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, or court order.

5. Data Retention & Security
