Privacy policy

Last updated: 2026

What data we collect

My Travel Maps stores your map selections (visited countries and states, wish list, city pins, road trip stops) in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device. We do not have a server-side database of your maps.

Google Sign-In

You may optionally sign in with your Google account. If you do, we receive your name, email address, and profile photo from Google. This information is stored in your browser's localStorage and is used only to display your name and avatar in the navigation bar. We do not store this information on any server, do not share it with third parties, and do not use it for any purpose other than personalization. You can sign out at any time, which removes the stored profile from your browser.

Cookies and analytics

We use standard web analytics to understand how the site is used in aggregate — which tools are popular, general traffic volumes, and performance metrics. This data is anonymized and not tied to individual users. We use cookies only as necessary for the site to function and for analytics purposes.

Advertising

My Travel Maps may display advertisements served by third-party ad networks, including Google AdSense. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

Third-party services

We use the following third-party services:

Each of these services has its own privacy policy. We do not sell your data to any third party.

Your rights

You can clear your travel map data at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage or by using the “Clear all” button in any map tool. If you have signed in with Google, you can sign out at any time by clicking your avatar in the navigation bar and selecting “Sign out,” which removes your profile data from localStorage. You may also revoke the Google connection from your Google Account permissions page.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically for any changes.
