Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2026
What we collect
When you use The Next Passport, we collect:
- Account information — your email address and authentication details when you sign up
- Lineage data — names, dates, and places you enter about your ancestors to generate your personalized checklist
- Checklist progress— which documents you've marked as complete and any notes you've added
- Payment information — processed securely by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
What we do not collect
We do not collect or store identity documents, passport scans, government IDs, or any other sensitive files. The Next Passport is a checklist and organization tool — not a document vault.
How we use your data
Your data is used to:
- Generate and display your personalized document checklist
- Save your progress across sessions
- Process payments through Stripe
- Respond to support requests
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Where your data is stored
Your data is stored in Supabase (hosted on AWS in the United States). All data is transmitted over HTTPS and stored with row-level security policies that ensure you can only access your own data.
Cookies
We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and maintain your session. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. Wizard progress is stored in your browser's local storage until you create an account.
Deleting your data
You can request deletion of your account and all associated data by emailing support@thenextpassport.com. We will process deletion requests within 30 days.
Third-party services
We use the following third-party services:
- Supabase — database, authentication, and hosting

- Vercel — application hosting and deployment
Each service has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of The Next Passport after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
