Welcome to Maps Distance and Area Calculator. We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect and use your data when you use our website and mobile application.

Information Collection

We collect information to provide better services to our users. This includes:

  • Account Information: When you sign in with Google, we collect your email address, name, and profile picture to maintain your account and sync your data.
  • Measurement Data: We store the coordinates, names, distances, and area calculations of measurements you explicitly choose to save to our cloud servers.
  • Technical Data: We may collect non-personal technical information such as browser type, device information, and anonymous usage statistics to improve performance and user experience.
  • Location Data: While our application centeters the map on your location, this is processed locally on your device. We do not store your real-time location on our servers unless you save a measurement at that specific location.

Use of Information

Your data is used solely for the following purposes:

  • To provide and maintain the synchronization of your measurements across different devices.
  • To personalize your experience and remember your preferences.
  • To analyze usage patterns to improve tool accuracy and application performance.
  • To communicate essential service updates regarding your account.

Data Retention and Cloud Storage

We use **Google Firebase** for secure cloud storage and authentication. Your saved measurements are stored as long as your account remains active. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

User Control and Deletion

We believe you should have full control over your data. In compliance with modern privacy standards (including GDPR and CCPA):

  • You can view and manage all your saved measurements at any time.
  • You can request the permanent deletion of your entire account and all associated data through the "Delete My Account & Data" feature in the Profile dashboard.
  • Upon requesting deletion, all measurement records and account metadata are permanently purged from our databases.

Third-Party Services

We integrate with trusted third-party services to provide the application's functionality:

  • Google Maps/Leaflet: To provide mapping tiles and location services.
  • Google Firebase: To manage user accounts and cloud data synchronization.
  • Analytics: To monitor application health and feature usage anonymously.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware of such data being collected, we will take immediate steps to remove it.
