Overview
Pinliyo is a personal travel-memory app. You can log countries, cities, statuses, trips, dates, notes, share preferences, and visual exports. We do not sell personal data, and Pinliyo does not use third-party advertising in the app.
Store privacy forms and this policy should stay aligned with the app's actual data practices whenever features change.
Data we collect
Account and profile data
Pinliyo uses Firebase Authentication to create a user id and keep your map attached to your account. If you choose Google or Apple sign-in, the app may receive basic account information from that provider. Profile details you add, such as a display name, handle, avatar, language, and settings, are stored with your account.
Travel map data
We store the travel information you choose to add, including countries, cities, travel statuses, dates, notes, tags, ratings, trips, stops, budget items, packing items, and share privacy preferences. This data syncs through Firebase services so your map can be available across launches and devices.
Photos and location
Pinliyo asks for photo or location permission only when you use a feature that needs it, such as photo import or current-location logging. Photo import reads location metadata from selected or permitted photos to suggest places. Current-location logging uses device location to resolve the place you are in. These permissions are optional and can be changed in your device settings.
Purchases
Pro purchases are processed by your device's app store and RevenueCat. Pinliyo receives subscription and entitlement status, product identifiers, and purchase validation information needed to unlock Pro. Pinliyo does not receive your full payment card details.
Device and service data
Firebase, RevenueCat, Apple, and Google may process technical information needed to provide authentication, hosting, cloud storage, purchase validation, abuse prevention, and service reliability. Trip reminders are scheduled on your device when you enable them.
Optional AI trip planning
If you use AI trip planning, the trip details you submit for that request, such as destinations, dates, preferences, and notes, are sent to Pinliyo's server and then to OpenAI to generate the requested plan. Do not include sensitive personal information in an AI planning request.

Security and retention
Pinliyo uses Firebase security rules and per-user account boundaries to protect stored map data. No system can be guaranteed perfectly secure, but we work to keep access limited to the account that owns the data.
We keep your account and travel data while your account is active. When you delete your account in Pinliyo, its Firebase account, travel records, uploads, and RevenueCat customer data are deleted immediately. Deletion does not cancel an app store subscription; you must cancel it separately in your store account. Your store provider may retain purchase records as required for tax, accounting, fraud prevention, or legal obligations.
Children
Pinliyo is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal data through Pinliyo, contact us through the developer contact listed on the app store page.
Changes
We may update this policy as Pinliyo changes. The updated version will show a new last updated date and will be posted on this page.
