Privacy Policy

Waypoint is a small, independent project. This page explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it, in plain language rather than legal boilerplate.

What we collect

Account information: your email address and a password (handled securely by our authentication provider — we never see or store your password directly).

Profile information: your username, display name, bio, and profile photo — whatever you choose to add.

Trip content: the Ways you create — itineraries, stops, dates, notes, check-ins, and any photos you attach to a check-in.

Activity: who you follow, which Ways you like ("Let's Go") or favorite, and comments you post.

We don't run ads, and we don't use third-party tracking or analytics cookies to follow you around the web.

What's public and what isn't

Once you publish a Way, its content — including check-in photos — is public and visible to anyone, including people who don't have an account. Your visited and want-to-visit country lists are also visible on your public profile. Your favorites list is private and only visible to you. Your email address is never shown publicly.

Who we share data with

We use a small number of service providers to run Waypoint: Supabase (database, authentication, and file storage) and Resend (sending emails like welcome messages). These providers process data on our behalf and don't use it for their own purposes. We don't sell your data to anyone, ever.

How long we keep it

We keep your data for as long as your account exists. If you delete your account, your Ways, comments, likes, favorites, and follows are permanently removed. See our Terms of Service for details on account deletion.

Your rights

You can edit your profile information at any time from your account settings. You can delete individual comments, check-ins, or entire Ways yourself. You can request full deletion of your account and content at any time — see the "Danger zone" in your profile settings, or email us directly.

Changes to this policy

If we make meaningful changes to how we handle your data, we'll update this page and note the date at the top.
