Privacy policy
Been There lets you tick the countries you've visited and compare with friends on a shared map. We collect as little as we can to make that work.
What we store
- The name you type when you join a map. It's shown to everyone who has that map's link.
- Your countries and bucket list for each map you join, and whether you've tapped "I'm done selecting".
- A random ID for your phone, created automatically. We don't ask for your email, phone number or any account.
- Map details: the map's name and which ID created it.
- Transfer codes you create to move to another phone. They expire after 24 hours and are deleted when used.
- Reports you send about another player's name, so we can review them.
What we don't do
- No ads, no tracking across apps or websites, and no analytics.
- We don't collect your location. You choose your countries by hand.
- We never sell or share your information.
Who can see it
Only people who have a map's private link can see the names and countries on that map. Maps can't be searched or browsed.
Where it's kept
Data is stored with Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore) in the United States. Google processes it on our behalf under its Firebase privacy terms.
Deleting your data
In the app, open the map, go to My countries and tap Leave this map and delete my entry. That deletes your name and countries from that map straight away. To delete everything else, email us at the address below.
Children
Been There isn't aimed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
