The Packing Index

Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 21, 2026

The Packing Index (“we,” “us,” the “app”) helps you build, weigh, and share travel packing lists. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We do not sell your data, run ads, or track you across other apps or websites.

Information we collect

Account information. When you sign in with Apple, Google, or an email code, we receive your email address and (if you choose to share it) your name. These identify your account.
Profile. A display name, an optional profile photo you choose, and preferences (units, default mode of travel, appearance).
Your content. The trips, bags, items, templates, dates, destinations, and packed status you create in the app.
Trip drafting input. When you use AI Draft, the destination and travel dates of that trip are sent to our drafting service to generate a suggested list. No account identifiers are required for this feature.
Weather lookups. When a trip has a destination, that destination name is sent to our weather provider (Open-Meteo) to show a local forecast. No account identifiers or personal information are sent.
Device permissions. Photo library access (only if you set a profile or trip cover photo) and notifications (only if you turn on packing reminders). You can decline or revoke these in iOS Settings.

We do not collect location, contacts, browsing history, or advertising identifiers.

How we use it

To provide the service: store your packing lists and sync them across your devices and the website.
To authenticate you and keep your account secure.
To generate AI-assisted packing suggestions when you request them.
To show a destination weather forecast for your trips.
To send local reminders before a trip, if you enable them.

How it’s stored and who processes it

Your data is stored in our backend hosted by Supabase, protected by per-user access rules so that only you (and people you explicitly share a trip with) can read your content. We rely on these service providers:

Supabase — database, authentication, and file storage.
Apple and Google — sign-in (we receive only your email and optional name).
packingindex.com drafting service — generates packing suggestions from a destination and dates.
Open-Meteo — destination weather forecasts (receives only a destination name).

We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing.

Sharing

If you share a trip, the people you share it with can view that trip’s contents. You control what you share.

Data retention and deletion

We keep your data until you delete it. You can delete individual trips at any time, and you can permanently delete your entire account and all associated data from within the app: Account → Delete account. This removes your trips, bags, items, templates, profile, and login. The action is immediate and cannot be undone.

Children

The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your choices

Decline or revoke photo and notification permissions in iOS Settings.
Edit your profile and preferences in the app.
Export your data as a JSON archive from Account → Export full archive.
Delete your account at any time.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above.
