These tools help us identify and fix critical bugs or crashes before they are reported by users. #### LOCAL DATA STORAGE: Some apps store information locally on your device. This data is only accessible within the application and is not transmitted externally. Developers have absolutely no access to this local data. #### SEARCH AND INPUT FEATURES: Certain search features within our apps allow users to input information in plain text or through a map interface. Most of these features perform calculations locally on your device without transmitting any data externally. For example, conversions like Latitude and Longitude to formats such as MGRS or UTM are processed entirely on your device. #### LOCATION FEATURES: The current location feature is provided solely for user convenience. Developers have no access to your location data. However, some app features may require input to be sent to third-party servers for additional calculations. While we do not store this data, these third-party providers may collect it under their privacy policies. * **Google Elevation API:** Apps like Elevation, HeightMap, and ThaiElevation use Google Elevation API, which is governed by [Google’s Terms of Service](https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/terms) and [Google Privacy Policy](https://www.google.com/policies/privacy). * **Plain Text Search:** Searches (e.g., address, city, or country) use Google API, also governed by [Google’s Terms of Service](https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/terms) and [Google Privacy Policy](https://www.google.com/policies/privacy). * **CoreLocation (Apple):** Location-based features use Apple’s CoreLocation API, which is subject to [Apple’s Privacy Policy](https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/). * **What3Words Search:** Supported search features integrate with What3Words, which is governed by [What3Words's Terms & Conditions](https://what3words.com/terms/) and [What3Words's Privacy Policy](https://what3words.com/privacy/). #### ADVERTISING: We use third-party advertisements to support our applications. Advertisers may use cookies and web beacons to collect information such as your IP address, ISP, and device model. This data is generally used for purposes like geotargeting (e.g., showing real estate ads in New York to users in New York) or displaying ads based on browsing habits. * Advertisers such as Google (via AdSense and AdMob) may collect this information under their respective privacy policies. #### ADS CONSENT: In compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR, we ask for your consent before displaying personalized ads. Non-personalized ads, which do not use your data for targeting, are shown by default if consent is not provided. Users can manage their ad preferences through the app’s settings or as prompted during app usage. #### CRASH REPORTING: To enhance app stability, we use third-party crash reporting tools. These providers may collect anonymous crash log information, including your IP address, ISP, and device model. #### SPECIFIC APPS: * **Elevation:** This version uses our own server to store the Elevation database with data provided by JAXA. Coordinates must be submitted to our server to retrieve elevation data. However, we do not collect or store these coordinates. This app uses Google Elevation API which is bounded by [Google’s Terms of Service](https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/terms) and [Google Privacy Policy](https://www.google.com/policies/privacy). * Plain text search (ex. Address, city, or country name) does use * Google API which is bounded by [Google’s Terms of Service](https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/terms) and [Google Privacy Policy](https://www.google.com/policies/privacy). * CoreLocation feature by Apple, which is bounded by [Apple’s Privacy Policy](https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/) * App with search feature may also support What3Words search, which is bounded by [What3Words's Terms & Conditions](https://what3words.com/terms/) and [What3Words's Privacy Policy](https://what3words.com/privacy/) #### GDPR COMPLIANCE (FOR EU USERS): To comply with GDPR regulations, EU users will receive non-personalized ads provided by approved Google Ads partners #### AGREEMENT: By using our apps, you automatically agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service outlined on this website. If you do not agree, please uninstall the app immediately. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://color-tech.gitbook.io/mappin/policy.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
