Your Data & Deletion

How to export or erase everything

What this page is for

The Privacy Policy explains your rights. This page is the practical version: which button does what.

Seeing your data

Everything Travelogue holds about you is visible in the app: your profile, your reviews, your passport, your friends, your bucket list and your goals. There is no hidden layer.

Exporting everything

Settings has an export that writes your entire diary to a single file you keep. It needs no account, no server and no request to us, and you can import it on a new device.

It is worth knowing what an export is not: it is a snapshot from the moment you took it. It helps if you took one before losing your phone, and not at all if you did not. If that worries you, sync is the answer.

Deleting a single review

Open the review and tap the bin icon. It goes immediately, along with its photos, documents and the passport stamp it earned.

Turning sync off

Switching back to local-only in Settings deletes the copy we hold. That is a real deletion from our systems rather than a flag that hides it, and backups follow within 30 days. Your diary stays on your device.

Deleting your account

Deleting your account removes your profile and everything you created, and cannot be undone. If you are local-only, signing out and clearing the app's stored data has the same effect, because we never held anything.

What survives deletion

Aggregate counts that cannot identify you — for example how many reviews mention a country — may remain in leaderboards. Nothing that identifies you is kept.

Where the law requires us to keep something, such as a purchase record for tax, we keep only that record and only for as long as required. The retention section of the Privacy Policy lists each period.
