The CivicMapper app values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle the limited data required to provide the app’s core functionality. Please note that CivicMapper does not collect, store, or share any personally identifiable information (PII) about its users.
Information We Collect
CivicMapper does not collect or store any personal information from users. The app only transmits location data (latitude and longitude) to a third-party API for the sole purpose of retrieving jurisdiction information such as state, county, and city boundaries about the input location.
Use of Location Data
CivicMapper uses your device’s current location (latitude and longitude), or the input location otherwise provided, to determine the relevant jurisdictions pertaining to that location. This location data is transmitted to a trusted third-party API for the sole purpose of retrieving this jurisdiction information.
- The location data sent to the API is not personally identifiable and cannot be used to track or identify users.
- We do not store this location data after the jurisdiction information is retrieved, nor does the third-party service store or use this data for any purpose other than fulfilling the request.
Third-Party Services
CivicMapper utilizes a third-party API to provide jurisdiction information based on the user’s location, or other input location. The only data sent to this third party is the latitude and longitude of the user’s device at the time of the request, or other user-input location. This data is processed only to provide the jurisdiction information and is not stored, shared, or used for any other purpose by the third-party service.
No Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
CivicMapper does not collect any personally identifiable information such as names, email addresses, or contact information. The location data transmitted to the third-party API is non-personally identifiable and cannot be linked to individual users.
No Data Storage or Sharing
Neither CivicMapper nor the third-party API stores the location data once the jurisdiction information has been provided. Additionally, CivicMapper does not share your data with any other third parties for marketing or any other purposes.
Children’s Privacy
CivicMapper is not specifically directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from users of any age. Since no personally identifiable information is collected or stored by CivicMapper, the app complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted within the app, and the “Effective Date” at the top will be updated accordingly. By continuing to use CivicMapper after any changes are made, you agree to the updated policy.
