The privacy of our customers is of paramount importance and we will always treat your personal information as confidential. This Privacy Policy explains the detail of the types of personal data we may collect about when you interact with us. It will also explain how we’ll store handle and secure the data. You will find information about your rights, which is based on the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
From time to time, we will amend our policy to adapt to new legislation or case law, as well as to industry practice standards. We will notify you of such modifications being effective within 72 hours after their appearance on the website.
Under the following legal conditions, GDPR allows us to collect your personal data for example first or last names, addresses and email addresses as outlined further below.
Consent
In some cases, we can collect and process your data with your consent. For example when you create an account and start creating your maps. If we collect your data, we will always inform you about it.
Contractual obligations
We collect your personal data in certain situations like contractual obligations. For example to complete your transactions, when you purchase maps or start your paid subscription, we would need your address as well as other necessary personal data to complete your purchase.
Legitimate Interest
We may process personal data for certain legitimate interests, for example to understand how people interact with our website, to determine the effectiveness of improvements we have made, or seeing where you are purchasing from to create effective marketing plans and pricing.

We use your personal data to give you the best customer service or inform you about our new products and services. If you order any products or services from us, then we need your personal data to get in touch with you and to provide after-sales support.
We may use your non-sensitive personal data to register you as a new customer, manage your payments, collect and recover monies owed to us, to manage our relationship with you, or to send you details of our goods and services.
Our legal grounds for processing your data are in relation to the points above that are for the performance of a contact with you, or are necessary for our legitimate interests to develop our products/services and to grow our business.

Protecting your data is important to us and we have put in place security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breaches and we will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
