Privacy Policy

Who we are

Intel Mapper (intelmapper.com) is an open-source-intelligence conflict map operated by an independent developer. Contact: info@intelmapper.com or @Neferolan on X. This policy covers the website, the Android app and the iOS app.

What we collect

• Account data: if you sign in with Google or Patreon we store your display name, e-mail address and membership tier — nothing else from those accounts.
• Usage analytics: we use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic (pages viewed, country, device type). IP addresses are not stored by us.
• Push notifications: if you enable alerts on the website we store your anonymous browser push subscription token. In the iOS app we store the Apple push device token together with your time zone and language so that alerts arrive in your language and not at night. Disable alerts at any time with the bell icon (or in system settings); the token is then deleted. The Android app checks a public alert feed and sends us no token.
• Server logs: standard web-server logs (IP, URL, timestamp) kept briefly for security and debugging.

Cookies

We use a single session cookie for login state, plus cookies set by Google Analytics. Third-party advertising partners (when present) may set their own cookies; see below.

Advertising

Free accounts may be shown advertising. Ad partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads; where required we request consent. Paid supporters (Observer tier and above) browse ad-free.

Mobile apps (Android and iOS)

• Advertising: the free apps show ads served by Google AdMob. On iOS we ask for permission to track (App Tracking Transparency); if you decline, ads are non-personalised. On Android, Google's advertising ID is used under Google's policies. Pro subscribers see no ads.
• Purchases: subscriptions in the apps are processed by Google Play or the Apple App Store. We receive only the purchase status (active, expired), never your payment details.
• Identifiers: the apps do not require an account. Apart from the push token and advertising identifiers above, they store only local preferences on your device.
• Diagnostics: the apps send anonymous load/health beacons (app version, whether the map loaded) to help us fix crashes; they contain no personal data.

What we never do

• We do not sell your personal data.
• We do not track individual users across other websites.
• We do not store payment details — payments are processed entirely by Patreon, Google Play or the Apple App Store.

Your rights

You may request a copy or deletion of your account data at any time by e-mail (info@intelmapper.com) or via @Neferolan. Logging out removes the session cookie; deleting your Patreon/Google authorisation revokes our access.

Children

The service documents armed conflict and is not directed at children under 16.

Changes

We will update this page when our practices change; the date above reflects the latest revision.
