Bento is a travel guide, not an account-based service. There is nothing to sign up for, so there is no profile, no password and no contact details for us to hold. This page describes the little that is collected, and by what.
The Bento apps for iPhone and Android collect nothing. Every country guide ships inside the app, so it works with the phone in airplane mode and makes no requests to us. There is no analytics SDK, no crash reporting, no advertising identifier and no login.
Two taps leave the app. Opening an app listing hands the link to the App Store or Google Play, and opening a website loads it in the phone's in-app browser. From that point the destination's own privacy policy applies, not ours.
bento.travel measures which pages get read, using PostHog in its cookieless mode. No cookies are set for analytics, no profile is built and no session is recorded. Each event carries the page path with any query string and fragment removed, the page's language, and which country or category the page is about. Typed text is masked.
The site is hosted on Vercel, which records its own privacy-preserving traffic and performance measurements and, like any web host, receives the requests your browser makes.
There is no advertising on the site and nothing is sold or shared with data brokers. Links to Guac, our own eSIM app, and to app store listings carry a plain source label so we can tell how many readers found something useful, and no identifier travels with them.
Because analytics here sets no cookies and builds no profile, there is nothing to opt out of and no data of yours to export or delete. Measurement is served from bento.travel itself rather than a separate tracking domain, so blocking by domain will not stop it, though blocking JavaScript will. The site works exactly the same either way.
Bento is a general-audience travel guide. It is not directed at children and collects no information from them.
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Material changes to what the apps collect would ship alongside an app update.
