Privacy Policy

Mapivo ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you sign in with Apple, we receive a unique identifier from Apple. We do not access your Apple ID email unless you choose to share it.

Profile Information: You may optionally provide a display name, bio, home city, travel style, and languages.

Location Data: With your permission, we collect your device's precise location to provide location-based features such as nearby postcards, city discovery, and travel recommendations. You can disable location access at any time in your device settings.

Content You Create: Postcards, photos, voice notes, itineraries, reactions, comments, and other content you choose to share through the app.

On your device only: Unpublished postcard drafts, trip expense ledgers and packing lists are kept on your phone. They reach another device only through a copy you export yourself and hand over — we never receive your shared spending.

Optional Usage Data: Usage statistics are off by default. If you enable them in Settings, we receive feature event names, calendar dates and duration ranges with a random installation identifier. These events contain no account identifiers, diary text, photos or location and are retained for up to 90 days. Turning statistics off deletes unsent events and the identifier from your device.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain the Mapivo service
• To personalize your experience with AI-powered travel recommendations
• To enable social features like postcards, itineraries, and traveler discovery
• To send push notifications about relevant travel content (you can opt out anytime)
• To improve our app through analytics and user feedback

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information:

• With other users: Content you choose to make public (postcards, itineraries, profile) is visible to other Mapivo users
• Service providers: Cloudflare (infrastructure), Apple (authentication) — these providers are bound by their own privacy policies
• Legal requirements: If required by law or to protect our rights

4. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on Cloudflare's global infrastructure with encryption in transit and at rest. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information.

5. Your Rights

You can:

• Access and edit your profile information within the app
• Delete your postcards, itineraries, and account data
• Withdraw location permissions through device settings
• Delete your account in Profile → Settings → Delete Account. That removes your profile, posts, chats, and everything you uploaded, along with the trip ledgers and packing lists kept on your device.

6. Children's Privacy

Mapivo is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes through the app.
