Effective Date: May 24, 2025

Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Mapd collects, uses, and protects your personal data.

We collect:
• Account information (such as your email address and username)
• Media uploaded by you (photos, videos, captions)
• Country selections manually provided during media upload
• App usage information (e.g., screen interactions, session time)

Mapd does not request or use your device’s GPS, location services, or IP-based location.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your data to:
• Help you create and organize albums by country
• Display content in your interactive map and profile
• Enable optional public sharing of your personal travel map
• Improve overall app experience and functionality

We do not sell or rent your data to any third parties.


3. Sharing Your Content

Content remains private by default unless you choose to share it. You may:
• Share your personal map via a public link
• Submit media to the global community map (subject to admin approval)

Only content you explicitly share is visible to others.

4. Security

We take reasonable security measures to protect your content and personal information. While we strive to protect user data, no system is 100% secure, and you use Mapd at your own discretion.


5. Your Rights
