Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the MyMappi app, website, and related services operated by MYMAPPI LLC. In this policy, “MyMappi,” “we,” and “our” refer to MYMAPPI LLC and 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.
• Private memory content: titles, stories, notes, dates, feelings, categories, people, tags, favorites, life chapters, privacy choices, and private capsule-sharing details.
• Location information: place names, cities, countries, latitude, longitude, searches, routes, and foreground device location when permission is granted.
• Media: photos, videos, voice memos, ambient audio recordings, voice links, songs, captions, and related file information that you choose to add.
• Ask mAppI: place requests use public Our Map information and place search. My memories searches saved text and dates from your active account’s memories on this device; these searches and results are not sent to AI or public place-search services. Memory search does not analyze your photos or audio. MyMappi does not save these requests or voice recordings. Voice starts only when you choose it. The iOS app uses on-device English speech recognition when supported; web browsers may process audio using their own speech service, as explained before you activate voice. You can always type instead.
• Our Map contributions: the public handle you choose, public text stories and headlines, place suggestions, categories, reasons to visit, local tips, contribution and review status, First Finder or other badge awards, and the public place connected to a contribution.
• Safety and moderation information: private-capsule accounts you block, Our Map creators you hide, reports you submit or receive, report reasons and optional details, relevant content and account identifiers, bounded evidence needed for review, moderation status, and actions taken.
• 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 private memories, place pins accurately, search for places and events, provide routes and weather context, operate Our Map discovery, review community place suggestions, display intentional public contributions, award badges, sync your account, store media, recover backups, prevent account mix-ups, respond to support and safety reports, enforce blocks and the Community Standards, 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, discover nearby Our Map places or events, and calculate a route. A coordinate or visible map area may be sent to a map, place, event, weather, geocoding, or routing provider to return the result you requested.

MyMappi does not track location in the background. The live location marker is separate from memory and Our Map pins and is not saved as a private memory by itself. Adding a public Our Map story connects the text you submit to the public place you selected; it does not automatically publish your live location or a private My Map memory. 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.

When you intentionally send a private Memory Capsule, the verified recipient can view its text and place details and may choose to save a copy to their own account. In version 1.0, you may also choose to include one cover photo. Videos, voice memos, ambient sound, artifacts, and all other photos are not included in the shared copy.

Our Map public stories are a separate, text-only contribution flow. MyMappi does not automatically copy a private memory, cover photo, video, audio, or other private My Map media into Our Map.

6. Private Sharing, Our Map, Reports, And Blocks

MyMappi applies automated checks to every shared text field before delivery to help prevent clearly prohibited material. If you choose to include a cover photo, the server confirms that it is an owner-controlled, supported image and sends only that photo to Google Cloud Vision for a SafeSearch check before making the recipient’s copy. The image is checked transiently; MyMappi records that the check occurred and the policy version, but does not store the returned classification labels. If the image cannot be checked, is unsupported or too large, or does not pass the policy, no photo or capsule is delivered unless you deliberately retry without the photo. Automated checks are limited, can make mistakes, and do not identify every violation. A recipient can report a received capsule and can block its sender. Blocking is private; the blocked person is not told who blocked them.

When you report a capsule, authorized moderators can review the reason, optional details, relevant account and capsule identifiers, and a bounded evidence snapshot of the capsule as it appeared when reported. Moderators cannot use the report queue to browse the rest of either person’s private memories. MyMappi uses the report only to investigate, respond, enforce the Community Standards, keep an audit trail, and protect users and the service.

Our Map combines places selected by MyMappi, listings or events supplied by providers, and community places approved by MyMappi. A verified user may suggest a missing place for review. If approved, the public place pin may identify that user by their chosen public handle as its First Finder and may award a badge. Other users can then intentionally add public text stories to the place. A request does not publish a private memory or media, and a suggested place does not appear as a community pin until it is approved.

Before publication, MyMappi screens the public handle and submitted Our Map story or place-request text for clearly prohibited material and certain personal contact details. A story that passes those automated submission checks may be published without individual pre-approval; a community place request is reviewed before its pin appears. Automated checks are limited, can make mistakes, and do not guarantee that published content is safe or accurate.

Published Our Map handles, place credit, and text stories can be seen by other people using Our Map. Users can report an Our Map story and hide contributions from a creator. Hidden creators can be reviewed and unhidden from Account. Reports enter a restricted moderation queue; MyMappi may place a story under review, restore it, remove it, or dismiss reports. Hiding is private, and report evidence is not displayed publicly.

7. 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.
• Google Cloud Vision: when you choose to include a cover photo in a private Memory Capsule, that one image is processed for a transient SafeSearch safety check before delivery.
• MyMappi-controlled map, place, event, geocoding, and routing services: a bounded search term, coordinates, visible map area, route endpoints, travel mode, or category may be relayed to approved production providers only to return the map, place, event, search, geocoding, or route result you request. These providers can include OpenFreeMap, OpenStreetMap-based services, MapTiler when configured, Esri imagery, Foursquare, and Ticketmaster.
• Open-Meteo: coordinates may be used to provide current weather context.
• Apple Maps or Google Maps: destination details and, when available, your chosen starting point are provided only when you choose to open external directions.
• Resend: sends private operational email alerts to MyMappi support. A feedback alert may contain the feedback you submitted, your email and account identifier, and limited build or device details. A safety alert contains only bounded report metadata and a secure moderator link—not the reported memory text or media.

MyMappi also shares a private capsule with the specific verified recipient you select and displays the Our Map information you intentionally submit as public. Providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies. MyMappi may 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.

8. Storage And Security

MyMappi uses account-based access controls and Firebase security rules intended to restrict access to a user’s own private memories, notifications, blocks, and media, plus capsules intentionally addressed to that verified recipient. Our Map public information is stored separately and is intentionally readable through the public discovery experience. Only specifically authorized administrators can access private moderation queues, which show relevant reported or submitted evidence rather than a general view of private memories. 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.

9. 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. Deleting a synced memory removes its memory records and unused MyMappi-owned cloud media; a minimal private marker containing only the memory ID, owner ID, and deletion timestamps prevents another signed-in device from restoring it. A “start fresh” action removes memories but does not by itself delete the login account.

If a recipient previously chose to save a copy of a capsule to their own account, deleting your original does not automatically delete the recipient’s separate copy. The recipient controls that copy and can delete it from their account.

MyMappi provides an in-app account-deletion action. After password confirmation, it removes the Firebase account and associated memories, media, in-app notifications, private feedback, public Our Map stories, pending place requests, public handle and badge records, blocks, reports, and personal attribution tied to that account. If an approved community place is useful to the public map, its basic place pin and duplicate-prevention record may remain without the deleted user’s handle or account attribution. Limited safety, moderation, legal, security, or transactional records may be retained when reasonably necessary or required by law. Device caches or downloaded backups remain under your control and may require separate deletion.

10. Your Choices

• Edit or delete a memory and its media.
• Choose whether to grant location, camera, photo, microphone, or notification permission.
• Keep My Map memories private by default or intentionally send one private capsule to a verified recipient.
• Separately choose whether to suggest an Our Map place or publish a text story to an existing Our Map place. No private memory or media is included automatically.
• Report a received capsule or Our Map story, block or unblock another account, hide or unhide an Our Map creator from Account, or contact mm@mymappiapp.com about a safety concern.
• Sync, export, or clear local device data.
• Log out, switch accounts, or request account and data deletion.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. Contact

Use the in-app feedback option or email mm@mymappiapp.com for privacy questions, support, safety concerns, or deletion requests. Capsule abuse can be reported from the received capsule, and an Our Map story can be reported from its public place card.
