Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

The Short Version

MapTools.co is designed with privacy in mind. All map calculations and data processing happen directly in your browser. We don't send your locations, addresses, or uploaded files to our servers.

What We Collect

Analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how people use MapTools.co. This collects:

  • Pages visited and time spent
  • General location (country/region level)
  • Device type and browser
  • Referral source

This data is aggregated and cannot identify you personally. You can opt out using browser extensions like Google Analytics Opt-out or by enabling "Do Not Track".

Cookies

We use minimal cookies for analytics and remembering your preferences (like dark mode). See our Cookie Policy for details.

What We Don't Collect

  • Your specific addresses or locations you search
  • Files you upload (CSV, etc.) - these stay in your browser
  • Shapes you draw or measurements you take
  • Personal information like name or email (we don't have accounts)

Third-Party Services

MapTools.co uses these external services:

Data Retention

Since we don't collect personal data, there's nothing to retain. Analytics data is held by Google according to their retention policies.

Your Rights

Under CCPA (California) and similar laws, you have the right to know what data is collected about you. For MapTools.co, that's just anonymous analytics. For data held by Google, use Google's account tools.
