Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 29, 2025

Welcome to MyWorld. Your privacy is of fundamental importance to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our application ("App").

1. Data We Collect

We collect various types of information to provide and improve our services:

  • Information you provide: Name, username, email address, bio, and profile picture provided during registration or profile updates.
  • User-generated content: Photos, videos (Reels), comments, reviews, and travel itineraries that you publish or save in the App.
  • Location data: With your explicit consent, we collect precise geolocation data to allow you to add points to "MyWorld" and use proximity-based "Explore" search features.
  • Usage data: Information about your interactions with the App, including access times, pages viewed, and features used.
  • Device data: Information about the device used to access the App, such as hardware model, operating system version, and device identifiers.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

  • Providing the Service: To manage your account, allow you to publish content, and personalize your experience (e.g., map styles).
  • Improving the App: To analyze App usage, resolve bugs, and develop new features.
  • Communications: To send you notifications regarding your account, service updates, and any support responses.
  • Security: To monitor suspicious activities, prevent fraud, and ensure the safety of our users.

3. Local Data Management

Important Note: MyWorld adopts a "local-first" approach for some data. Your MyWorld map points (including locally uploaded associated media) and unpublished itineraries are primarily stored in your browser's Local Storage. This ensures you have full physical control over the data, but it means such data will not be synced across different devices unless explicitly published or synced (where provided).

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your data in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: Third parties that help us provide the service (e.g., database hosting, mapping services like OpenStreetMap).
  • Legal Obligations: If required by law or in response to valid legal proceedings.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of company assets.

5. Data Subject Rights (GDPR)

If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right to access, rectify, or delete your data.
  • Right to data portability.
  • Right to restrict or object to processing.
  • Right to withdraw consent at any time.

You can exercise these rights through the App settings or by contacting us directly.

6. Security

We implement technical and organizational security measures to protect your data. However, please note that no physical or internet transmission is 100% secure.
