Mapsprink ("the app") is a travel check-in app that lets you mark the countries and regions you have visited on an interactive world map. This policy explains exactly what data the app handles. The short version: your data stays on your device unless you explicitly choose to back it up to your own Google Drive.
If — and only if — you choose to connect Google Drive, the app uses it as an extra place to keep your export file:
drive.file permission, which means the app can only see and
manage the files it creates. It cannot read, list, or touch any of your other
Google Drive files.Mapsprink Backups in your Drive and saves a JSON
copy of your progress there. The folder and files remain in your Google account;
we never receive a copy.Mapsprink's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
The app requests location permission solely to power the optional "locate me / find my region" feature. When you tap it, your device's current location is used on your device to highlight the country or region you are in. Your location is not stored, not logged, and never sent to us or any third party. The feature is entirely optional — you can deny or revoke the permission at any time in your device settings, and the rest of the app works without it.
The camera/snapshot feature renders an image of your map entirely on your device. An image is only shared if you actively pick a destination in your device's share sheet. We do not upload or store your snapshots.
Mapsprink is a native app installed from the app store and runs on your device. Two things come from our hosting provider (Cloudflare Pages):
Like virtually all web servers, the provider may process standard technical request data (such as IP address and browser type) to deliver the file and protect against abuse. We do not use this for tracking and do not combine it with your in-app data — the app never sends your visited places anywhere, so there is nothing on our side to combine it with.
Mapsprink is a general-audience app and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Mapsprink Backups folder.Country unlocks are one-time in-app purchases handled entirely by Apple's App Store (and Google Play on Android). We never see or receive your payment-card details. The store only tells the app whether a product is owned, so it can unlock the matching content; no payment information is stored on any server of ours. Restoring purchases simply re-checks your ownership with the store.
If this policy changes, we will update the date above and post the new version at this URL.
This Privacy Policy is written in English, which is the authoritative, governing version. Any version in a language other than English is provided for convenience only. If there is any conflict or discrepancy between the English version and any translation, the English version prevails.
