Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 22, 2026
Travel Diaries ("Travel Diaries", "we", "us", or "our") is a travel journaling and memory application that allows users to create digital travel diaries, capture and organize travel memories, store photographs and other media, customize their diaries, and share their travel experiences through links.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, process, and protect information when you use the Travel Diaries mobile applications, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service").
By using Travel Diaries, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information that is necessary to provide and improve the Service.
1.1 Account Information
When you create an account, we may collect:
Name or display name
Email address
Profile photograph, if provided
Authentication provider information
Firebase user identifier
Account creation date
If you sign in using Google, Apple, or another supported authentication provider, we may receive information that the provider makes available to us in accordance with your account and that provider's privacy settings.
2. Travel and Location Information
Travel Diaries is designed around travel memories and may collect location information when you choose to use location-related features.
Depending on your permissions and device settings, this may include:
GPS coordinates
Country
State or region
City
Place name
Location associated with a memory
Travel routes or journey information
Location metadata contained in photographs
Location information may be associated with a particular diary or memory.
Camera Location
When you capture a photograph using the Travel Diaries camera and grant the required permissions, the application may use your device's location to automatically associate the photograph with the place where it was captured.
You can control location permissions through your device settings.
Travel Diaries does not require continuous background location access simply to use the core travel-diary features unless a feature specifically indicates otherwise and you grant the relevant permission.
3. Photos, Videos and Audio
Travel Diaries allows you to create memories using different types of media.
Depending on the features you use, we may process and store:
Photographs
Videos
Audio recordings
Captions
Journal entries
Voice recordings
Cover photographs
Other files that you voluntarily upload
Media uploaded to Travel Diaries is stored using our cloud infrastructure and associated with your account and/or the relevant travel diary or memory.
We may generate optimized versions, thumbnails, previews, or other technical derivatives of uploaded media to improve application performance and reduce storage and bandwidth requirements.
4. Camera
If you use the built-in Travel Diaries camera, the application requires camera permission to capture photographs or videos.
Camera access is used to:
Capture photographs
Capture videos
Create travel memories
Apply supported image processing and filters
Associate captured media with travel information when applicable
Travel Diaries does not access your camera continuously when you are not using camera functionality.
5. Travel Diaries and Memories
Travel Diaries allows you to create digital travel diaries containing memories.
A diary may contain:
Title
Description
Dates
Locations
Countries
Cities
Photographs
Videos
Audio
Journal text
Captions
Maps
Memory layouts
Publishing Style information
Custom theme information
Other information you voluntarily add
The visibility of your diaries depends on the sharing settings you select.
6. Public Diaries and Shareable Memories
Travel Diaries allows you to publish a Diary and share links to that Diary or to a numbered memory within it. Memories do not have standalone public sharing URLs.
A memory is accessible only through its parent Diary and follows that Diary's and its owner's profile visibility settings. Public and link-accessible Diaries can be read without signing in. Private Diaries, unpublished content, drafts and memories marked private are not available through public URLs.
Depending on the content you choose to share, this may include:
Diary title
Memory content
Photographs
Videos
Audio
Captions
Travel dates
Country
City
Location information
Publishing Style
Diary design
Other information contained within the shared diary or memory
People may be able to access publicly shared content without creating a Travel Diaries account.
You should therefore avoid including information in a public diary or memory that you do not want other people to see.
Making your profile private hides all of your Diaries and their memories from public search and public Diary URLs, including existing links. Your profile URL may still show a limited card with your display name, handle and avatar, but not your biography or Diaries.
Important
A public sharing link should be treated as publicly accessible.
Anyone who obtains or receives the link may be able to view the associated content.
7. Publishing Styles and Custom Themes
Travel Diaries allows users to customize the appearance of their travel diaries.
We may store:
Publishing Style identifiers
Publishing Style versions
Custom theme configurations
Typography settings
Layout settings
Colors
Image presentation settings
Decorative settings
Other customization information
Custom theme information may be stored as part of the diary's metadata so that the diary can be rendered consistently when accessed through a shared link.
If a diary is publicly shared, the design and theme information required to render that diary may be publicly accessible as part of the shared diary experience.
8. Premium Subscriptions
Travel Diaries may offer paid subscriptions or premium features.
Depending on the platform you use, payments may be processed through:
Apple App Store
Google Play
Other supported payment providers
We generally do not receive or store your complete payment card number.
We may receive information necessary to determine:
Subscription status
Subscription type
Purchase status
Renewal status
Expiration date
Trial status
Entitlement status
Subscription information is used to provide premium features and manage your account.

15. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, maintain your account, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect our legitimate interests.
Different categories of information may have different retention periods.
For example:

Temporary exports may be automatically deleted after an applicable period.

Deletion may include:
Account information
Travel diaries
Memories
Uploaded media
Custom themes
Other account-associated content
Some information may need to be retained where required by law, necessary to prevent fraud, resolve disputes, or maintain legitimate business records.
Because deletion may be permanent, you should export or otherwise preserve any content you wish to keep before deleting your account.
17. Data Security

These measures may include:
Firebase Authentication
Firestore Security Rules
Firebase Storage Security Rules

Travel Diaries is not intended for children below the minimum age required to use the Service under applicable law.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children where such collection is prohibited by applicable law.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to Travel Diaries in violation of applicable law, please contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.
19. International Data Processing
Travel Diaries may use cloud infrastructure and third-party service providers that process information in countries other than the country in which you live.
Your information may therefore be processed or stored outside your country, subject to applicable data protection laws and appropriate safeguards where required.

21. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Travel Diaries website may use cookies, local storage, analytics technologies, and similar technologies to:
Keep users signed in
Remember preferences
Maintain sessions
Improve website performance
Understand website usage
Provide security
Measure advertising effectiveness where applicable
You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings.
Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
22. Web Application
The current Travel Diaries website provides public search, public profile viewing, and reading of published, non-private Diaries and their memories. Public visitors do not need to sign in. Searches beginning with @ show profiles.
Creating and managing Diaries, changing profile visibility and managing subscriptions take place in the mobile application. The website's App Store and Google Play download buttons are placeholders until the official listings are available.
Information processed through the website is handled according to this Privacy Policy.
23. Publicly Shared Content and Search Engines
A public Diary is accessible at a Diary URL. Its memories use numbered URLs within that Diary, such as https://www.traveldiaries.tech/diary/{diary-key}/1. The retired /memory sharing URLs are no longer supported.
Where technically applicable, we may use measures to control whether public content is indexed by search engines.
You should not assume that a public diary or memory is private.
Once information has been publicly shared, copies may potentially be made or redistributed by others outside our control.
24. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When we make material changes, we may provide notice through the Service or other appropriate means.
The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy indicates when the policy was most recently revised.
Your continued use of Travel Diaries after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy to the extent permitted by applicable law.
