Privacy Policy

Effective November 19, 2008

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and every page on the site.

The information we collect

This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the mappery website. On some pages, you can search for maps, add maps and associated metadata to the website, add comments, and add tags. Your name (or nickname) may optionally be provided by you and will be displayed only if you submit it to mappery. When you sign up for mappery, you must provide a username and password. The username that you select is made visible on the mappery site. Your email address and password will never be shared with external parties. Any information you choose to provide on your personal map page will be visible to everyone. Please don't put self-identifying information in your map room profile that you do not want the general public to see. When logged in to mappery, all comments and maps you add will be shown in your map room. Your level of contributions to the site will be reflected in a publicly visible ranking.

The way we use information

We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.

We never use or share any personally identifiable information provided to us online.

Our commitment to data security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

Our commitment to children's privacy

Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.
