Packr privacy policy

Effective October 31, 2026

In short

Packr is made by Whelmed Labs LLC. Packr has no accounts, ads, analytics or tracking. What you enter stays on your device. The only thing that leaves it is the text of a destination search, which goes to OpenStreetMap to find the place.

What stays on your device

Your answers during setup (who you pack for, including the age range of any children, your home country, your packing preferences, and any items or home tasks you add), your trips, and your packing lists are saved in the app's storage on your device. We do not run servers for Packr and never receive this information. Deleting the app, or clearing its data in your device settings, deletes it.

Destination search

When you search for a destination, Packr sends what you typed to Nominatim, the place search service of the OpenStreetMap Foundation, together with your device language so results come back in it. Like any web request, this also reveals your IP address to that service. The app identifies itself as Packr; it does not send your name, location or anything else you entered. Searches happen only when you search.

The OpenStreetMap Foundation handles this data under its own privacy policy.

What we do not do

Packr does not ask for your location, contacts, photos or other device permissions. It does not sell or share your information, show ads, or use analytics or crash reporting.

Children

Packr is not directed to children under 13. If you add children to your packing profile, only their age range is stored, and it stays on your device.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date. If Packr starts collecting new information, for example with optional accounts, this policy will be updated before that feature is released.
