Quick Overview
- Data Export: You can request a copy of your data (JSON/ZIP).
- Account Deletion: We permanently delete your account including all content.
- Timeframes: Acknowledgement usually within 7 days, completion within 30 days at the latest.

1) Requesting Data Export (Copy of Your Data)
Included:
- Profile/Account: E-mail, name (if provided), language/settings
- Trips & Stops: Titles, timestamps, places/coordinates
- Diary: Texts, formatting, tags
- Media: References to uploaded images/videos (ZIP download)
- Weather: Values assigned per stop
- Technical: consent status (CMP), push tokens (historical)
Format: JSON (UTF-8) for structured data, ZIP for media.
How to request (current process):
- Send an e-mail from your login address to privacy@journory.com with subject “Data Export”.
- Optionally specify time period (e.g., “only 2024”) or categories (e.g., “only Trips & Diary”).
- We confirm receipt and provide the export securely (e.g., via download link with expiration).
Note: An in-app export function (PDF/ZIP) is planned. Until then, export is handled by e-mail.
2) Account & Data Deletion (Right to Erasure)
What will be deleted?
- Account/profile including login data and sessions
- All content: trips, stops, diaries, media uploads
- Device/push tokens, invitations, shares
- Shared content with others will be removed or anonymized (“Deleted User”) to keep records consistent.
What will remain?
- Legal retention (e.g., tax-relevant receipts from in-app purchases)
- Backups until automatically overwritten (usually ≤ 30 days; no individual restore)
- Support/moderation records kept for compliance (typically 3–6 years)
How to delete your account:
In the app (recommended):
- Open Journory → Profile (top left) → Settings (gear icon) → Account → Delete Account
- Confirm the security prompt
- You will receive a confirmation e-mail
Without app access (fallback):
- Send an e-mail from your login address to privacy@journory.com with subject “Delete Account”.
- We will verify you (e.g., confirmation code sent to your login e-mail) and then delete your account.
Disconnect OAuth (Google/Apple) (optional):
- Google: myaccount.google.com → Security → Sign in with Google → Remove Journory
- Apple: appleid.apple.com → Sign-in & Security → Apps using Apple ID → Remove Journory
3) Identity Verification
- If requests are not sent from the login e-mail, we will require additional verification (e.g., code e-mail, app confirmation).
- For representative requests (e.g., parents, estate), we require supporting documents (power of attorney, partial ID verification). Please do not send full sensitive copies.
4) Timeframe & Status
- Acknowledgement: usually within 7 days
- Completion of export/deletion: within 30 days at the latest
- Complex cases (e.g., large media archives) may take longer – we will inform you in time.
