Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Magic Maps (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the Magic Maps mobile application and the magicmaps.ai website (collectively, the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service.

2. Information We Collect

Location Data

Magic Maps uses your device's location services to provide location-based features such as discovering nearby places, generating walking routes, and showing trending spots near you. Location data is processed in real time and is not stored on our servers after your session ends.

Usage Data

We may collect anonymized usage data such as feature interactions, session duration, and crash reports to improve the Service. This data cannot be used to identify you personally.

Chat and Query Data

When you interact with the AI features of Magic Maps, your queries are sent to third-party AI providers (such as OpenAI) to generate responses. We do not permanently store your chat history on our servers. Please refer to our AI providers' privacy policies for information on how they handle data.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain the Service, including location-based features and AI-powered route planning
• To improve and optimize the Service based on aggregated, anonymized usage patterns
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues
• To communicate with you about updates or changes to the Service

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share anonymized, aggregated data with analytics partners to improve the Service. We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.

5. Third-Party Services

Magic Maps integrates with third-party services including Apple Maps (for mapping and navigation), OpenAI (for AI-powered features), and web search providers (for real-time information). Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing the use of your data. We encourage you to review their respective policies.

6. Data Security

We use commercially reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data. You may also have the right to opt out of certain data processing activities. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address below.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
