Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 11, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Mapticulous ("Mapticulous," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use services available at mapticulous.com and its subdomains (the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

Account information — name, email address, and authentication credentials (passwords are stored using industry-standard hashing and are never stored or transmitted in plain text) when you create or use an account.
Usage and device data — IP address, browser/device type, access timestamps, and server logs, collected automatically to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the Service.
Google account data — if you sign in with Google or grant access via Google OAuth, we receive the basic profile information (such as name and email address) and the specific scopes you authorize. We request only the scopes needed for the features you use.

We do not use cookies, third-party analytics, or advertising trackers on this Service.

2. How We Use Information

To provide, maintain, and secure the Service, including authenticating your account.
To operate the specific features you've authorized through Google Sign-In or other integrations.
To diagnose technical issues and protect against abuse, fraud, and unauthorized access using logs and device data.
To communicate with you about your account or material changes to the Service.

Google User Data. Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not use Google user data for advertising and do not sell it to third parties.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with:

Service providers who help us operate the Service (e.g., hosting and infrastructure providers), under obligations to protect your data.
Authorities, when required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Mapticulous or others.

4. Data Retention

We retain account information for as long as your account is active, and usage/log data for a limited period sufficient for security and operational purposes, after which it is deleted or anonymized. You may request earlier deletion as described in Section 6.

5. Security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures — including encrypted transport (TLS), credential hashing, and access controls — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, or to withdraw consent for Google account access (via your Google Account permissions). To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

7. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

8. International Users

The Service is operated from the United States. If you use the Service from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
