Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Overview

Someday Map (“we”, “us”, “our”) helps you turn saved social media posts into an interactive map of places. You can import content from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Yelp, web pages, and uploaded files. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.

Information we collect

We collect only what is necessary to provide the service:

  • Account information — when you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile photo from Google OAuth. We use this to create and identify your account.
  • Imported content — post captions, URLs, usernames, thumbnail URLs, and collection names from content you choose to import from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Yelp, web pages, PDFs, images, and pasted text. This data is stored in your account so you can access your saved places.
  • Location data — if you enable the “Near You” feature, we request your browser's geolocation to sort and filter places by distance. This location is used client-side only and is not stored on our servers.
  • Payment information — if you subscribe to a paid plan or purchase add-ons, payment details (card number, billing address) are collected and processed by Stripe. We do not store your full card number — we only receive a Stripe customer ID and subscription status.
  • Usage data — basic server logs (page views, errors, API usage counts) to help us diagnose problems and track service limits. No advertising identifiers are attached to these logs.

What we do not collect

  • Your Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube passwords or login credentials
  • Posts you have not explicitly chosen to import
  • Direct messages, private conversations, or follower lists
  • Browsing history on websites other than those you import from
  • Photos or videos from your posts (we process only text captions and metadata)

How we use your data

  • Place extraction — text captions and descriptions from your imported content are sent to Anthropic's Claude API to identify place names, cuisines, and context. Only text is sent to the AI — we do not send images or videos to Claude. Anthropic processes this data subject to their privacy policy.
  • Map display — extracted place names are resolved to coordinates using the Google Places API and displayed on a Google Map. Google processes this data subject to their privacy policy.
  • Video processing — for video rescans, video audio may be transcribed using OpenAI's Whisper model, and video frames may be analyzed using AI vision to extract on-screen text. This processing happens on our secure servers.
  • Payment processing — paid subscriptions and add-on purchases are processed by Stripe. We use your Stripe customer ID to manage your subscription and enforce usage limits. We do not have access to your full card details.
  • Account management — your Google profile information (name, email, photo) is used to identify your account and display your profile within the app.

Data retention and deletion

Your imported content (captions, place data, notes) is stored in our database for as long as you maintain an account. Resolved place data (coordinates, addresses) is cached in a shared database to reduce redundant API calls — this cache does not contain personal information.

  • Deleting places or collections — when you delete a place or collection, your personal data (notes, status, saved references) is permanently removed from our database. Shared resolved place data (address, coordinates) is retained in the cache since it contains no personal information.
  • Deleting your account — you can delete your account from the Settings page. This permanently removes all your personal data, including your profile, collections, saved places, notes, import history, and subscription records. Account deletion is irreversible.
  • Data export — you can export all of your saved place data from the Settings page before deleting your account.

We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal data.

Third-party services

Someday Map uses the following third-party services to operate:

  • Google — OAuth sign-in (name, email, profile photo), Maps display, and Places API for resolving place names to coordinates. Google Privacy Policy.
  • Anthropic Claude — AI-powered place extraction. We send only text captions to Claude — never images or videos. Anthropic Privacy Policy.
  • OpenAI — Whisper model for audio transcription during video rescans. OpenAI Privacy Policy.
  • Stripe — payment processing for subscriptions and add-on purchases. Stripe handles all card details directly. Stripe Privacy Policy.
  • Supabase — database hosting. Your account data, collections, and saved places are stored in a Supabase-hosted PostgreSQL database. Supabase Privacy Policy.
  • Vercel — web application hosting. Vercel Privacy Policy.
  • Modal — serverless compute for video processing (rescans). Video data is processed transiently and not stored after processing completes. Modal Privacy Policy.
  • Evomi — residential proxy service used to download YouTube subtitles for place extraction. Only YouTube video IDs are transmitted through this proxy — no personal user data. Evomi Privacy Policy.

Chrome extension

The Someday Map Chrome extension allows you to bulk import saved collections from Instagram and TikTok. The extension:

  • Only activates on instagram.com and tiktok.com — it does not run on any other websites
  • Reads post URLs, captions, usernames, thumbnail URLs, and collection names from your saved/favorited posts
  • Sends this data exclusively to your authenticated Someday Map account at somedaymap.com
  • Does not access your passwords, DMs, profile data, or any content beyond your saved/favorited posts
  • Uses local storage to persist import state across page navigations during multi-collection imports

Cookies

Someday Map uses only essential cookies required for the application to function (for example, session authentication). We do not use advertising cookies or track you across other websites.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights under applicable data protection laws (including GDPR and CCPA):

  • Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. You can export your place data from the Settings page at any time.
  • Deletion — request deletion of your personal data. You can delete your account from the Settings page, or contact us to request deletion.
  • Correction — request correction of inaccurate personal data.
  • Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format via data export.
  • Opt out of sale — we do not sell your personal data to third parties. There is nothing to opt out of.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below. We will respond within 30 days. California residents may also designate an authorized agent to make requests on their behalf.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the product evolves. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of Someday Map after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
