Privacy Policy
Effective August 2026
Jot & Trot is a collaborative trip-planning app. This policy explains what information the app handles and what happens to it. The short version: we store only what the app needs to work, we don't run ads or analytics, and we never sell your data.
What we collect
- Account details. Your email address and, if you sign in with Apple, the name and email Apple shares with us (which may be a private relay address — that's fine with us).
- Trip content. The trips, stops, suggestions, votes, notes, and prices you and your trip-mates create. Trip members can see each other's contributions — that's the point of the app.
- Push notification token. If you allow notifications, we store the device token Apple issues so we can tell you things like "Leslie added 3 stops."
We do not collect your precise location. The map shows the areas you choose to look at; the app never asks for GPS access.
Where it lives
Account and trip data is stored with Supabase, our database and authentication provider, on servers in the United States. Data is encrypted in transit, and access is restricted per user — trip data is only visible to that trip's members.
Services the app talks to
- Geoapify provides map tiles, place search, and area scouting. When you view the map or search, the coordinates of the area you're browsing and your search text are sent to Geoapify to return results. They are not tied to your account identity by us.
- Apple handles Sign in with Apple and delivers push notifications through its notification service.
- OpenStreetMap is the source of the map data (© OpenStreetMap contributors).
What we don't do
- No advertising, no ad tracking, no third-party analytics.
- No selling or sharing of personal data with data brokers.
- No reading of your trips by humans, except if you ask us to help with a support issue.
Sign-in emails
When you sign in with an email code, we send that code to your address. We don't use your email for marketing.
Keeping and deleting your data
Your data is kept while your account is active. To delete your account and everything tied to it, email dgperkins@gmail.com from the address on the account and we'll remove it. Trips shared with others may survive with your contributions removed or anonymised, since they also belong to the other members.
Children
Jot & Trot isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update this page and its effective date.
