Effective date: May 7, 2026  ·  Developer: SW TECH LLC

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using the Countried mobile application ("App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). These Terms form a legal agreement between you and SW TECH LLC ("we", "us", or "our"), the developer of Countried.

If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the App. We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Description of the App

  • View continent-by-continent breakdowns and world progress statistics
  • Explore an interactive world map highlighting visited countries
  • Earn achievement badges for travel milestones, continent completions, regional sets, and special collections
  • Generate and share a visual travel summary card via their device's native share sheet
  • Read rotating fun facts about countries and travel

The App stores all user data locally on the device. No account registration is required. The App is provided free of charge with no in-app purchases or subscriptions.

3. Licence to Use

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, SW TECH LLC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use the App on a device you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes.

  • Rent, lease, lend, sell, or sublicense the App
  • Remove or alter any proprietary notices or labels in the App
  • Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws

4. Accuracy of Content

Countried includes a database of countries, continents, territories, flags, and geographic fun facts. While we strive to keep this information accurate, country borders, political status, and geographic data change over time.

The App is intended for personal entertainment and travel-tracking purposes only. The country data, badge criteria, fun facts, and statistics are provided for informational and gamification purposes and should not be relied upon for official, legal, academic, or professional use.

SW TECH LLC makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or currency of any information presented in the App.

5. User-Generated Content & Sharing

The App allows you to generate a shareable image ("Travel Card") based on your usage data. This image is created on your device and shared at your sole discretion using your device's native operating system sharing functionality.

You are solely responsible for any content you share publicly. SW TECH LLC does not receive, store, moderate, or take responsibility for the Travel Cards you generate or how you choose to distribute them.

By using the sharing feature, you represent that your use complies with the terms of service of any platform you share to (e.g. Instagram, WhatsApp, X/Twitter).

6. Privacy

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. In summary: all data you enter into Countried is stored exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to or collected by SW TECH LLC.

7. Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, graphics, user interface, animations, badge artwork, copy, and underlying software, is the exclusive property of SW TECH LLC and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

In no event shall our total liability exceed the amount you paid for the App (which is zero, as the App is free).
