Yucts Travel｜AndroidIn development

Account & Sign-In

Your Yucts Travel account is your Yucts Travel forum account — the app and the forum share the same account. Features that require signing in will automatically bring up the sign-in screen.

Sign-In Methods​

Username and Password​

  1. On the "Sign In" tab, enter your username or email and password.
  2. Tap "Sign In".
  • If your account has two-step verification (2FA) enabled, a verification screen appears where you can choose a verification method (authenticator app / email code / SMS code / backup code) and enter the code to complete sign-in.
  • Forgot your password? Tap "Forgot password?" and enter your email to receive a reset message (for security reasons, it shows "sent" whether or not the email exists).

Registration​

On the sign-in screen, switch to the "Register" tab:

  1. Fill in your username, email, and password.
  2. Check the box to agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
  3. Tap "Create Account".

Depending on the site's settings, after registering you may be signed in directly, sign in after receiving a verification email, or enter a wait for admin approval state.

note

The registration flow does not yet integrate anti-bot verification (Turnstile).

Profile (Read-Only)​

On the profile page you can view: your avatar, nickname, statistics, email, registration date, and a member QR card (linking to your forum member page).

In Development

The Android profile is currently read-only and doesn't yet support editing fields or uploading an avatar. To change your profile, please go to the forum website.

Signed-In Devices​

In the "Signed-In Devices" settings you can view and manage sign-in status, in two parts:

  • App devices: this app's sign-in records; you can revoke other devices.
  • Forum sessions: manage the forum web sign-in sessions; they can be revoked.

Sign Out​

On the profile page, tap "Sign out": the server revokes the sign-in and clears the local sign-in state.

Changing your password / email

For security reasons, please change your password and email on the forum website; the app only provides sign-in, registration, and forgot password.

Delete Your Account and Data​

This section applies to "Yucts Travel: Guides & Planner" on Google Play, the iPhone, iPad and Mac apps, and the forum at forum.yucts.com. Your YUCTS account is your forum account; after deletion, you can no longer sign in to the app or the website with it.

How to request deletion (no app needed)​

  • On the website: sign in to forum.yucts.com, open forum.yucts.com/account/delete, and submit the request.
  • Can't sign in: tell us your username through the contact form. We'll verify that you own the account first.
  • In the app: tap "Profile & settings" at the top-left of Home > "Delete Account", enter your username, and submit.

After you submit​

  • Your account is deleted 30 days after the request. Returning to the website during that time cancels the request.
  • We send a reminder email 10 days before the scheduled deletion.
  • You can't open the request page again for 15 days after a request.

Data we delete​

  • Your forum account and profile (removed completely from the forum database).
  • The app's cloud data is deleted as well: push devices and preferences, sign-in session records, AI conversation history and usage records, cloud data for cross-platform trip sync, and in-app purchase entitlement records.
When the app's cloud data is deleted

If you request deletion in the app, it's deleted immediately and your sign-ins are revoked. If you request it on the website, it's deleted automatically when your forum account is actually deleted (when the 30-day period ends, or when an administrator deletes the account); cancelling the request during that period means nothing is deleted. Before deleting, we first confirm with the forum that the account no longer exists. This usually finishes within minutes; if the service is temporarily unavailable, it retries automatically for up to 7 days. Only disabling an account (without deleting it) doesn't delete this data.

Data we keep​

  • Threads, replies, media and profile posts you published stay in the discussions and show your original username. Delete anything you want removed before you submit the request.
  • Private messages remain visible to the other participants.
  • Itinerary share links, member data in collaborative trips, and photos uploaded with check-ins aren't deleted automatically with your account yet; tell us through the contact form if you want them deleted.
  • Reports and AI-reply reports you submitted are kept for up to 180 days to handle abuse.
  • Records we must keep for security or legal reasons.

Data that exists only on your phone (for example trips you haven't synced, and your documents) isn't on our servers; delete the app or its data to remove it.

Delete some data and keep your account​

  • Cloud data for cross-platform trip sync: "Profile & settings" > "Cross-platform trip sync" > "Turn off and delete cloud data" (data on this device isn't affected).
  • Your own threads, replies, media and check-ins: in the app or on forum.yucts.com, tap "⋮" on the item > Delete.
  • AI conversations: "AI Travel Assistant" > "AI Conversations" > delete a conversation.
  • Newsletter: use the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any newsletter email.
  • Push notifications: turn them off in the app settings, or sign out (this unregisters the device).

See the Privacy Policy for full details on how we handle your data.
