Something broken, a question, or a request:
We read every message. There is also a “Something missing or broken?” link on the Profile tab inside the app, which opens a mail draft with your app version filled in.

tripswipe is a travel map: the countries, cities and trips you have been on, drawn on a globe. This policy explains what we collect, why, who can see it, and what you can do about it.
The app is operated by Click Boreal Unipessoal LDA (“we”, “us”), Portugal. Contact us any time at board.olympusml@gmail.com.
Account details. You sign in with Apple, Google, or an email address and password. We receive your email address, your name, and your profile picture if your provider supplies one. With Apple or Google we never see your password. With email sign-in, the password is handled by our authentication provider and stored only as a hash. From Google we ask only for your email address and basic profile; we do not access Gmail, Drive or any other Google data.
Your profile. A display name and a username, and optionally a bio, a home city, a date of birth and a profile photo.
Your places and trips. The countries, regions and cities you mark as visited, your favorites and wishlist, and your trips: their places, dates, title, notes and, if you choose one, a cover photo.
Friends. The friend requests you send and accept, people you block, reports you file, and the friends you tag as having been on a trip with you.
Technical basics. The app checks for updates through Expo Application Services and Apple’s App Store, which receive your device platform and app version as part of that request.
Notifications. If you allow notifications, we store your phone’s push token so we can tell you about friend requests and similar events. Notifications are delivered by Apple (and by Google on Android). You can turn them off in Settings.
Crash reports. When the app crashes or hits an error, it sends a report to Sentry: what went wrong, the app version, and device model and system version. Reports do not include your name, email, places or photos.
If you allow it, the app reads the location and date stored in the photos on your phone to find the trips you have taken and suggest them to you. This happens entirely on your phone. The photos themselves are never uploaded, and neither is their location data; only the trips you keep (places and dates) are saved to your account. You can turn this off in Settings, or never allow photo access at all.
A photo you explicitly choose as your profile photo or as a trip’s cover photo is uploaded, and only that photo.
If you allow it, the app uses your position on your phone to find the city you live in and to turn the map to where you are. It is never stored and never sent to us. You can say no and search for your city instead.
The map is drawn by Mapbox. To draw it, your phone downloads map images and place data from Mapbox’s servers, so Mapbox receives your device’s IP address, basic device and app details, and which part of the world you are looking at. The places you have been are never sent to Mapbox: they are drawn on your phone, on top of the map. We have turned off Mapbox’s optional usage telemetry. Mapbox handles this data under its own privacy policy.
Only to run the app: to show you your own map and trips on every phone you sign in from, and to show the friends you accept what you have chosen to share with them.
We do not use your data to build advertising profiles, and we do not use it to train machine-learning models.
People who know your username can find you and send you a friend request. They see your name, username and profile photo.
Friends you have accepted also see the countries you have been to.
A friend you tag on a trip sees that trip, and can confirm or decline having been on it.
Nobody else sees your email address, cities, trip dates, notes, bio, home city or date of birth.
You can remove a friend, block someone, or report them from their profile at any time.
Your data is stored with Supabase, our database and hosting provider, which runs on Amazon Web Services. Database rules (row-level security) enforce, at the server, who can read what.
One caveat worth stating plainly: profile photos and trip cover photos are served from public URLs. The addresses are long and effectively unguessable, but anyone who has a link can open it without signing in. Do not use a photo you would mind someone having a link to.
We keep your data for as long as your account exists.
Nobody, other than the infrastructure providers that make the app run:
| Provider | What they handle |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Database, authentication, photo storage |
| Expo Application Services | App delivery and updates |
| Mapbox | Map images and place data |
| Sentry | Crash and error reports |
| Apple Push Notification service / Google Firebase Cloud Messaging | Delivering notifications, only if you allow them |
| Apple / Google | Sign-in, only if you use that provider; app delivery |
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with advertisers or data brokers.
Change anything. Edit your profile from the Profile tab, and remove any place or trip from the Countries and Trips tabs.
Remove or block friends at any time.
Get a copy of your data. Email us and we will send you an export.
Depending on where you live (including the EU under the GDPR), you have rights over your data, including access, correction, deletion, portability and objection, and the right to complain to your data protection authority. Email us and we will honour them.
In the app: Profile → ⋯ → Settings → Delete account. This removes your profile, your places, your trips, your friends and your photos. It is immediate and cannot be undone.
If you can no longer open the app, email board.olympusml@gmail.com from the address on your account and we will delete it within 30 days.
tripswipe is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will remove it.
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top, and note anything significant in the app.
