Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the MyMappi app, website, and private beta services. In this policy, “MyMappi,” “we,” and “our” refer to the MyMappi service.

2. Information MyMappi Handles

• Account information: email address, display name, account identifier, and email-verification status.
• In-app notification information: notification type, message, related app action, creation time, and whether it has been read.
• Memory content: titles, stories, notes, dates, feelings, categories, people, tags, favorites, life chapters, and privacy choices.
• Location information: place names, cities, countries, latitude, longitude, searches, routes, and foreground device location when permission is granted.
• Media: photos, videos, voice links, songs, captions, and related file information that you choose to add.
• Technical information: limited sync, backup, storage, browser, device-size, product-action, and sanitized error details needed to keep the app reliable and secure.

3. How Information Is Used

MyMappi uses this information to create and display your memories, place pins accurately, search for places, provide routes and weather context, sync your account, store media, recover backups, prevent account mix-ups, respond to support requests, and improve reliability and security.

MyMappi does not use private memory content for advertising and does not sell your personal information.

Private product analytics may record that an action occurred, such as sign-up completion, a memory save, a failed upload, opening Explore, or using Relive. These events do not include memory titles, notes, photos, videos, exact locations, search text, or other memory content. Error reports are sanitized and limited to technical status, app build, device class, and the part of the app that failed.

4. Location

Location permission is requested when you enter Explore or choose a location feature. If allowed, MyMappi may use foreground location to show the blue location dot, center the map, place a memory, find nearby memories, and calculate a route.

MyMappi does not track location in the background. The live location marker is separate from memory pins and is not saved unless you intentionally create and save a memory at that place. You can deny or revoke location permission in device or browser settings.

5. Photos, Videos, And Other Media

MyMappi only accesses media you select. Signed-in users may upload selected media to private cloud storage so it can appear on their other devices. Media that exists only in one browser or device cannot be restored elsewhere until it is uploaded or backed up.

6. Service Providers And Data Sharing

MyMappi uses service providers only to operate app features. Depending on the feature used, limited information may be processed by:

• Google Firebase: authentication, private database storage, cloud media storage, limited product analytics, and sanitized technical error reports.
• Map and place providers: OpenFreeMap, OpenStreetMap-based services, MapTiler when configured, Esri imagery, geocoding providers, and routing providers. Search text or coordinates may be sent to fulfill a map, search, or route request.
• Open-Meteo: coordinates may be used to provide current weather context.
• Google Maps: only when you choose to open external directions.

Providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies. MyMappi may also disclose information when required by law, to protect users or the service, or as part of a future business transfer with appropriate safeguards and notice.

7. Storage And Security

MyMappi uses account-based access controls and Firebase security rules intended to restrict each signed-in user to their own memories, notifications, and media. Information may be stored on your device and on Google infrastructure. No service can guarantee absolute security, so keep your password private and maintain backups of irreplaceable media.

8. Retention, Account Deletion, And Data Deletion

Memories and account information are kept while your account is active so MyMappi can provide the service. You may delete individual memories inside the app. A “start fresh” action removes memories but does not by itself delete the login account.

MyMappi provides an in-app account-deletion action. After password confirmation, it removes the Firebase account, associated memories, media, in-app notifications, private feedback, and sanitized technical reports. Information may be retained only when required for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or an active dispute. Device caches or downloaded backups remain under your control and may require separate deletion.

9. Your Choices

• Edit or delete a memory and its media.
• Choose whether to grant location, camera, photo, microphone, or notification permission.
• Keep every beta memory private. Future Friends and Public options remain disabled until sharing safety protections are ready.
• Sync, export, or clear local device data.
• Log out, switch accounts, or request account and data deletion.

10. Children

MyMappi is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13. If you believe a child has provided information, contact MyMappi so it can be reviewed and removed.

11. International Processing

Service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Privacy and data-protection laws may differ from those in your location.

12. Changes To This Policy

We may update this policy as MyMappi develops. Material changes will be identified by a new effective date and, when appropriate, an in-app notice.

13. Contact

During the private beta, use the in-app feedback option or email mm@mymappiapp.com for privacy questions, support, or deletion requests.
