1.3 Precise Location Data
To enable Interactive Map Views and Real-Time Warnings and Alerts, Aurora requires access to your device’s precise geolocation. This allows us to provide location-based notifications related to safety advisories, weather updates, or local disruptions.

2.1 Service Delivery and Functionality
Your data is used to populate maps, track travel budgets, provide instant translations, and manage stored travel documents.

You acknowledge that your data, including travel preferences and location history, is subject to automated processing and AI-based decision-making.

While AI enhances your experience, outcomes are based on predictive patterns and may not always reflect your exact or current needs.
