what we collect

- travel preferences: vibes, budget range, home airport, stay length, and travel style answers you choose in your profile.
- saved destinations and drift log entries you create.

affiliate links
drift uses affiliate links and may earn commissions when you book through partners like booking.com, airbnb, viator, kayak, and similar travel services. this does not affect the price you pay. we only recommend places and services we genuinely believe fit the drift vibe.
cookies and analytics
we use basic analytics to understand how people use drift and make it better. we do not sell your personal data to third parties.
data storage
your data is stored securely with our backend provider. you can delete your account at any time from your profile, which removes your profile, saved places, drift log, and photos.
