However, you can control the use of cookies through your browser settings, and you may opt-out of tracking if you wish. Note that blocking cookies may affect your experience on our website.

Chatbot Data Collection
Travelaibuddy’s AI chat and form-based features may collect user inputs to provide better service and personalize your travel planning experience. Depending on how the feature is configured, different types of data handling may occur:

Our Chatbot Form Builder stores a record of all form submissions. Your data may be deleted upon request by the site administrator. You may also request a report of any saved data linked to your email address. - If entry tracking is not enabled:
The Chatbot Form Builder stores data only briefly for each session or submission. Uploaded media files, however, may remain on the server. - If add-ons or external services are used:
Some data may be shared with third-party services, including but not limited to MailChimp, PayPal, or other booking or marketing partners, as part of automated responses or data synchronization.
