Welcome to Mapu. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. Undefined terms in this Privacy Policy have the same meaning as in our Terms of Service.
Some information is necessary to create and maintain your Mapu account; some is voluntary. If you don’t provide required information, we may not be able to provide you with full access to the app.
We use the information we collect to:

We may share your information in the following circumstances:
We do not sell your personal information and do not share it with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.
We implement administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest where applicable. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel only.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@getmapu.com. We will respond within 30 days.
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate safety and fraud-prevention purposes.
Residual copies may remain in encrypted backups for a limited period before being purged.
Your data may be stored and processed in countries outside your own, including the United States, where our servers and service providers operate. When transferring data from the EEA or UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
Mapu is not intended for users under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that a child under 18 has provided personal data, we will delete it promptly. Contact us at support@getmapu.com if you believe this has occurred.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date and notify you via in-app message or email for material changes. Your continued use of Mapu after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
