Hirundo terms of use

Last updated: 14 November 2026

These terms apply to the Hirundo app for iPhone, made by Jude Gamboa (“we”). By using Hirundo you agree to them.

Using Hirundo

• Hirundo is for your personal, non-commercial use.
• Stamps show where your phone was, as worked out from built-in place data. They are a keepsake, not proof of travel, and may be wrong near borders, coasts, airports or in places the data does not cover.
• Place names and borders come from public datasets. Some areas are disputed: Hirundo gives them their own stamp with a neutral name and does not count them toward any country. This is not a political statement.

Keep Hirundo forever

• The free version stamps every country, up to 25 cities and up to 10 remembered trips. Cities reached after that are saved and sealed until you buy "Keep Hirundo forever".
• "Keep Hirundo forever" is a one-time, non-consumable purchase through the App Store. It is not a subscription. You can restore it on a new iPhone with the same Apple ID.
• It can be shared with your family through Apple's Family Sharing.
• Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies.

Your content

Your stamps, photos and notes are yours. They stay on your phone; we do not receive them. You are responsible for keeping backups; if you lose your phone without a backup, or forget a backup's password, we cannot recover your book.

Place data

Hirundo includes data from GeoNames (geonames.org, CC BY 4.0), Natural Earth (public domain) and OurAirports (public domain). Credits are in About.

Availability and changes

We may update Hirundo, change or remove features, or stop offering it. We will not remove the features you bought while the app is offered.

Liability

Hirundo is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for decisions made based on stamps or place data. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the law of your country.

Trademarks

"Hirundo", the Hirundo character and its artwork are trademarks of Jude Gamboa.
