map!t & Privacy

map!t is designed from the ground up to protect your privacy. We do not collect personal information associated with your Maps usage, except when you submit information through Ratings & Photos or Report an Issue.

Maps is designed to protect your information. We work hard to collect only the data we need to make your experience better. When we collect data, we believe it’s important for you to know what we’re collecting and why we need it.

Location

Use of your location is required for most Maps features to function optimally. Because your location can give away your identity, we convert precise locations to less-exact locations within 24 hours.

You can disable the location-based functionality of Maps by going to Settings > map!t > Location. Certain Maps features such as turn-by-turn navigation will be unavailable if you disable this setting.

Retention

We do not collect or retain personal information associated with your Maps usage, with the exception of Ratings & Photos and Report an Issue.
