Planark integrates with third-party services and open data sources. These include:

We do not have commercial relationships with hotels, airlines, booking platforms, or any travel service providers. We receive no commissions or referral fees from any source.

Planark destination guides, local insights, and itinerary suggestions are generated server-side using AI services (Google Gemini, Perplexity AI) and open data sources including Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, and OpenStreetMap. This content is curated and prepared before you see it — it is not generated live in response to your individual requests.

This content is provided for informational purposes only. While we work to ensure accuracy, AI-generated and aggregated content may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. Always verify important travel details — including visa requirements, opening hours, transport schedules, entry conditions, and safety information — through official sources before travelling.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Planark and its team are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App, including but not limited to travel disruptions, inaccurate itinerary information, or reliance on AI-generated content.
