Your trip is personal.
We keep the data footprint small.

What you can use without an account

You can start planning without creating an account. An unfinished browser draft may be kept on your device for up to 30 days so you can resume it. Detailed local trip and browser information can remain on that device until you clear it. World Beyond Home provides controls to clear local World Beyond Home data.

Family and trip information

World Beyond Home uses the trip details you provide to create recommendations and itineraries. Child names are not required. Where optional details such as height, sensory preferences, food needs, mobility or accessibility materially improve the plan, you may add them. Avoid entering diagnoses, passport numbers, payment-card details or other information that is not needed to plan the trip.

A reusable family profile is intentionally minimized. It can keep child ages, general energy, adult count and trip pace. It does not include child names, height, sensory notes, fears, food needs, schedule notes or accessibility notes.

Saved trips and sign-in

Creating an account is optional. If you request an email sign-in link, the authentication provider uses your email to authenticate you. Cloud-saved trips are kept until you delete them or request deletion. Account/authentication identity is retained until a deletion request, subject to technical, security or legal requirements of the authentication provider.

When you choose Save across devices, the saved itinerary includes a limited trip profile: destination, dates, adult count, child ages, pace, currency, budget, general interests, stay priorities and selected place names. Raw profile notes, child names and comfort details are not copied into this reusable profile. Generated itinerary text may itself contain details you supplied; review it before saving or sharing.

The Saved trips panel provides controls to download World Beyond Home saved-trip data and delete saved World Beyond Home content.

AI and travel providers

Trip inputs needed to generate your itinerary are sent through World Beyond Home's server to an AI provider. Optional map and place-discovery checks send the destination or relevant place names to a map provider when you request them. Geographic destination names come from GeoNames. When you open a hotel, attraction, transport or other booking link, you leave World Beyond Home and the provider's own privacy terms apply.

World Beyond Home does not collect payment-card details in the free planner and does not complete bookings on your behalf.

Ask about your trip

When you type a question into "Ask about your trip", World Beyond Home's server sends your question and a short summary of the plan to Google Gemini: the city, the number of adults, your children's ages, the places on each day and your hotel's name. Allergy, health, comfort and other notes you added are not sent. Don't put names or health details in the question itself. Answers are suggestions, so check them before you rely on them.

Services World Beyond Home uses

• Google Gemini: AI answers, itinerary text, city place research and reading a booking confirmation when you ask it to.
• Supabase: email sign-in and saved trips, only if you create an account.
• PostHog: optional usage statistics, only after you choose Allow.
• Kit: the newsletter form, only if you sign up.
• OpenStreetMap services: map tiles and, on some pages, place search (Nominatim) and route estimates (OSRM). Your browser sends the place or area being shown.
• Wikimedia Commons and Pexels: photos, as described under Photos.
• Hotelbeds and Google Places: hotel and place details looked up by World Beyond Home's server using hotel or place names. Your family's details are not sent.

Sharing a plan

When you use "Share with family" in the planner, the link itself contains your plan: the city, your sliders, must-dos and places you skipped, the number of adults, your children's ages, the number of days, your budget and your start date if you set one. World Beyond Home does not store a copy of the shared plan; the details travel inside the link. Anyone who has the link can open the plan and see those details, so share it only with people you trust. Child names are never included.

AI place research

When you open a city, World Beyond Home may use an AI provider with web search to find family places there. Only the city name is sent for this research, never your family's details. The results are kept by World Beyond Home for up to 30 days and shown to everyone who plans that city. World Beyond Home checks each place against its encyclopedia article or official website and removes links that do not respond, but places can still be wrong or closed; please check before you go and use "Report a problem" if something is wrong.

Photos

Place and city photos are loaded directly from Wikimedia Commons and, for some cities, Pexels. When a photo loads, your browser connects to that service, which receives the technical information any website receives, such as your IP address. World Beyond Home asks your browser not to send the page address along with these requests. Photo credits appear on each photo.

Affiliate links

Some ticket, stay, flight and car-rental links are affiliate links: GetYourGuide, Viator, Expedia (including Expedia.ca), Booking.com, Vrbo, Undercover Tourist, Barceló Hotels and flight partners such as OVAGO and travelup. Several are provided through the CJ Affiliate network. If you book after following one, World Beyond Home may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The partner may use cookies or similar tools to record that you came from World Beyond Home, under its own privacy terms. Commissions never change which places or stays World Beyond Home recommends.

Booking confirmations

PDF text can be extracted in your browser. Confirmation text or a booking screenshot is sent to World Beyond Home's extraction service only when you choose to have it read. Review the extracted facts before saving them. Saved confirmation facts may include booking references and remain in the browser until you clear them.

Do not upload passports, identity documents or payment-card statements.

Analytics and operational logs

Optional product analytics are consent-based. Consented product analytics are retained for up to 12 months. Without that consent, World Beyond Home keeps only limited operational information needed to keep the service working and understand basic product hand-offs; non-consented operational logs are retained for no more than 30 days.

World Beyond Home's minimized operational planning counters do not include your destination, family age bands, interests or a persistent visitor identifier.

Support correspondence

If you contact World Beyond Home, your message and the contact information you provide may be kept for up to 12 months so the issue can be answered and followed up. Support messages are submitted to World Beyond Home's server and, when private delivery is enabled, relayed over HTTPS to Google's email services for delivery to the World Beyond Home support inbox. The private inbox address is not published in the website or returned to the browser.

Do not include passwords, payment information, passport details or identity documents in a support message.

Children

World Beyond Home is designed for adults planning travel. Children should not create World Beyond Home accounts or submit information directly. Adults should provide only the child information needed to make the trip plan useful.
