Privacy Policy
Overview
We respect your privacy. We collect the minimum needed to run Glitch Maps. We do not sell or share your personal information. We do not store precise GPS coordinates; public pins are randomized by ~100–300 meters before submission, and only the randomized point is saved and displayed.
Information We Collect
- Approximate location: randomized pin location (100–300 m offset). Exact GPS is not stored or sent to our servers.
- User content: titles/categories you submit, timestamps, and general region labels (city/region/country).
- Device identifier/token for notifications: used solely to deliver push notifications (e.g., OneSignal/APNs/FCM).
- Basic diagnostics: error logs and performance metrics to keep the app reliable.
How We Use Information
- Deliver and improve the Service (show pins, fight spam, measure stability).
- Send optional notifications (nearby activity, updates).
- Moderate content (handle reports, abuse prevention, rate limits).
What We Don’t Do
- No sale or sharing of personal information as defined by California law.
- No precise geolocation storage.
- No use of advertising identifiers for tracking.
Third Parties
We may use processors such as hosting, database, analytics, and push providers (e.g., OneSignal/APNs/FCM). They act under our instructions and do not sell your data.
Retention
Content and randomized pin locations are kept while your content remains public or as required for safety, abuse prevention, or legal reasons. You can delete your posts or erase your data using “Delete all my stuff.” Notification tokens are removed when you opt out or delete your data.
Your Rights (California CCPA/CPRA)
- Know/Access the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have about you.
- Delete your personal information (subject to legal exceptions).
- Correct inaccurate information you provided.
- Opt-out of “sale”/“sharing”: we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- Limit use of sensitive information: we do not collect precise geolocation; only randomized approximate points are stored.
- No discrimination for exercising your rights.
To exercise rights, email privacy@glitchmaps.app. We may verify your request (e.g., email confirmation). Authorized agents may submit requests with proof of authority.
Do Not Track
We do not respond to browser DNT signals because we do not track users across third-party sites.
Children
Not for children under 13. If we learn we collected information from a child under 13, we’ll delete it.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. No system is 100% secure.
Changes & Contact
We may update this Policy. Material changes will be posted in-app and on this page.
