Terms of use

Last updated: October 3, 2026

The service

Journey-Log lets you write travel journals, add photos and share them. It is a free, non-commercial project run by a private individual (see the imprint), with no advertising and no paid features. We may change or discontinue features. If we shut Journey-Log down, we will tell you by email at least 30 days in advance so you can export your data.

Your account

You must be at least 16 years old to use Journey-Log. Give accurate information and keep your password safe. You are responsible for what happens in your account.

Your content

Everything you post stays yours. By posting it, you allow us to store it and show it according to your settings: private entries only to you and your journey's co-authors, link-only ones to people with the link, public ones to everyone. This includes link previews and share images made from it (title, your name, a cover photo) when you or others share a link. This permission ends when you delete the content or your account. Only post content you have the rights to.

Community rules

Don't post anything illegal, hateful, harassing or violent, no sexual content, no spam or advertising, and no personal data of other people. Only post photos of other people if they agree to it. Be respectful to other travelers.

Reports and moderation

If you see content that breaks these rules, report it with the report button on the entry, comment or profile, or write to info@journey-log.com. We may remove content that breaks these terms or the law, and suspend accounts that do so repeatedly.

Availability and liability

Journey-Log is a free hobby project. We run it with care, but can't guarantee that it is always available or free of errors. Please keep your own copies of important texts and photos (you can export them in Settings). As far as the law allows, liability is excluded, except for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence and for harm to life, body or health.

Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time in Settings. We may close accounts that seriously or repeatedly break these terms.

Changes

We may update these terms. We will tell you about important changes by email or on the site. If you keep using Journey-Log afterwards, the new terms apply.

Applicable law

Hungarian law applies. If you live in another country, the mandatory consumer protection rules of that country still apply to you.
