Privacy Policy
What we collect, why, and the controls you have.
This Privacy Policy explains what data MapNinja (“we”, “us”) processes when you use the Service, why, and the controls you have. We collect as little as possible.
Who is responsible
The MapNinja team is the data controller for personal data processed through the Service. For any privacy matter, contact [email protected].
What we process
- Progress data. Which items you mark as found is stored locally in your browser (local storage). If we introduce accounts, signed-in progress is linked to your account so it can sync across devices.
- Preferences. Your theme choice (light/dark) is stored locally on your device.
- Technical logs. Like most sites, our hosting may process limited technical data (such as IP address and user-agent) to serve pages, ensure security and prevent abuse.
- Analytics & advertising. If and when we enable analytics or ads, this policy and our Cookie Policy will describe them, and where required we will ask for your consent first.
Why we process it (legal bases)
- Legitimate interests - to operate, secure and improve the Service.
- Consent - for any non-essential cookies, analytics or advertising, where required.
- Contract - to provide account features you request, such as cross-device sync.
What we do not do
We do not sell your personal data. Your on-device progress stays on your device unless you choose to sign in to sync it.
Retention
Locally stored data remains until you clear it in your browser or use “Reset progress”. Server logs are kept only as long as needed for security and operations. Account data, if applicable, is kept while your account is active and deleted on request.
Cookies & local storage
See our Cookie Policy for what we store in your browser and how to control it.
Sharing
We share data only with service providers that help us run the Service (for example hosting), under appropriate safeguards, or where required by law.
International transfers
Where data is processed outside your region, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
Children
The Service is not directed at children below the age of digital consent, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or port your data, and to object to certain processing. See our GDPR page for how to exercise them.
Changes
We may update this policy; the “last updated” date above reflects the latest version.
