Privacy Policy

Someday Map (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a free tool that helps you turn your Instagram saved posts into an interactive map. This policy explains what data we handle, why we handle it, and how we protect it. We keep this simple because we collect very little.

We collect only what is necessary to provide the service:

• Email address — if you sign up for the early access waitlist. We use this only to notify you when Someday Map launches.
• Instagram post content — captions and metadata from Instagram posts you choose to import. This content is processed server-side to extract place mentions and is not stored beyond the active session unless you create an account.
• Usage data — basic, anonymized logs (page views, errors) to help us diagnose problems. No personal identifiers are attached to these logs.

• Your Instagram username or password
• Instagram posts you have not explicitly chosen to import
• Location data from your device
• Any data from users who are not actively using the service

• Place extraction — Instagram post captions you import are sent to Anthropic's Claude API to identify place names. 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.
• Waitlist communication — If you provide your email address, we will use it only to send one notification when Someday Map launches. We will not send marketing email or share your address with third parties.

Imported post content is processed in memory and not persisted to a database in the current version of Someday Map. Email addresses collected for the waitlist are stored securely and deleted once we have notified you of the launch. We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal data.

Someday Map uses the following third-party services:

• Google Maps Platform — map display and place resolution. Google Privacy Policy.
• Anthropic Claude — AI-powered place extraction from post captions. Anthropic Privacy Policy.
• Vercel — web hosting. Vercel Privacy Policy.

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.

You may request deletion of any personal data we hold about you at any time by contacting us at the address below. We will respond within 30 days.

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.
