Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
Roamly is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
Roamly stores the locations you mark as visited, along with any notes, photos, and memories you add. If you create an account, your data — including itineraries, published posts, bookmarks, and profile information — is stored in Google Firebase (Firestore and Firebase Storage). Some data is also cached locally on your device.
If you create an account, we collect the authentication information you provide. You can sign in with email and password, Google Sign-In, or Apple Sign-In. When using Google or Apple Sign-In, we receive only the information those services share (typically your name and email address).
If you sign up for our mailing list or contact us, we collect your email address and any information you provide in your message.
We may collect basic, anonymous usage analytics to help us improve the app experience.
How We Use Your Data
Your data is used to:
- Display your 3D globe, visited locations, itineraries, and travel journal entries
- Store and sync your data securely via Firebase
- Enable community features such as publishing itineraries, browsing others' posts, and bookmarking
- Send you updates if you subscribe to our mailing list
- Respond to your messages if you contact us
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
Firebase & Data Storage
Roamly uses Google Firebase services to store and manage your data. This includes Firebase Authentication for account management, Cloud Firestore for storing itineraries and travel data, and Firebase Storage for photos. Your data is stored securely on Google's infrastructure. We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties.
Photos & Location Data
Photos you add to journal entries and itinerary blocks are stored locally and in Firebase Storage. Location data (the places you mark as visited) is used within the app to display your travel map. We do not track your real-time location.
Community & Sharing Features
When you publish an itinerary to the Roamly community, it becomes visible to other users who can browse, bookmark, and rate it. Published itineraries include the trip details, photos, and your display name. You can unpublish an itinerary at any time.
When you share an itinerary via a link, a deep link is generated that allows the recipient to view your itinerary within the app.
Your Choices
You can delete your account and associated data at any time from the app's settings. You can unpublish any itinerary you have shared with the community. You can unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link in any email. If you delete the app, locally cached data is removed from your device; account data stored in Firebase is retained until you delete your account.
Children's Privacy
Roamly is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes through the app or via email.
