Privacy: how Bounded handles your data
Bounded TeamUpdated July 15, 2026
A travel timeline is sensitive data — it says where you were, every day, for years. Bounded is built so that this data stays yours: everything that describes your travel lives on your iPhone and is processed there.
What stays on your device
- Your travel timeline — every day record, trip, and counter lives in local storage on your phone. Bounded has no server that stores your travel data.
- Your location — tracking resolves coordinates to a country on the device; nothing is sent to our servers.
- Your photos — the photo restore reads only GPS tags, never the image content, and maps them to countries using an offline map. No photo, and no photo metadata, is ever uploaded.
- No account — Bounded works with no sign-up, no email, and no profile.

What leaves your device
Like most apps, Bounded uses a few third-party services that do involve network traffic:
- Anonymous usage analytics — which screens and features are used, so we can improve the app. This never includes your travel timeline, locations, or photo data.
- Crash reports — technical diagnostics when the app crashes.
- Subscription processing — purchases go through Apple and our subscription provider; we never see your payment details.
The full details are in the privacy policy.
Deleting your data
Settings → Data has two levels: Erase auto-detected data removes everything the photo scan and GPS tracking recorded (keeping your manual trips), and Delete all my data wipes the app completely and returns it to onboarding. Because everything is local, deletion is immediate — there is no server copy to chase.
