Effective Date: June 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Mapiary ("Mapiary," "Company," "we," "us," "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit our website mapiary.com (the "Site") or use our platform. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, and password when you create an account; payment information processed securely through Stripe (we do not store full card details); uploaded content files including photos and videos; location data associated with uploaded content; and any messages you submit through contact forms.

We also collect information automatically through cookies and analytics tools, including IP address, device information, browser type, and usage data such as pages visited and time spent on the site.

For sellers, we collect Stripe account information necessary to process payouts. For buyers, we collect purchase history to provide access to licensed content.

2. Use of Information

We use collected information to operate, improve, and secure the Platform; process transactions and payouts (including calculating the buyer-facing purchase price from the amount sellers choose to receive); enable search and discovery of location-tagged content; respond to your requests and support inquiries; send service-related communications; and analyze usage trends to improve the Platform. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Content and Location Data

Photos, videos, and associated location tags uploaded by sellers are stored on our platform and made publicly visible for browsing and purchase. By uploading content, sellers acknowledge that their content and associated location information will be publicly displayed on the Platform.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with Stripe for payment processing; Supabase for secure database and file storage; Google for location autocomplete and map functionality; and analytics providers to analyze platform usage. We may also share information where required by law.

5. Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies to enhance site performance, maintain sessions, and collect analytics data. You can disable cookies in your browser settings. A cookie consent notice will appear on your first visit.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account information for the duration of your account and for a reasonable period after closure. Purchased content licenses are retained indefinitely to support buyer access. We retain contact form submissions only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry.

7. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit and at rest. However, no system can guarantee absolute security. We encourage users not to share sensitive personal information beyond what is required to use the Platform.
