At CoMaps, we respect your privacy. CoMaps does not have any form of identification of people, advertising, or personal data collection.
CoMaps does not track you. Our mobile and desktop apps are "offline," meaning your device calculates your position and routing, and saves your favorites and search history, entirely inside the device. Once set up, you can use the app in "airplane mode" or without a SIM card. The only internet connection required is for downloading maps, editing OpenStreetMap, and opening third party resources like Wikipedia, Panoramax, Mangrove Reviews, or comaps.at location links. "Cloud" features like iCloud Sync are handled inside those services. We avoid and remove as many tracking and analytics features or plugins as possible (though many app stores do unavoidably track download stats.) In the future if we add unavoidably "online" features like live traffic, live location sharing, satellite layers, etc, we will do our best to make it obvious that you are connecting to the internet, and opt-out by default. If we ever slip up in this commitment (we're a few dozen volunteers!) please remind us so we can fix it.
Our web services, like map download servers, comaps.at link sharing, and other websites, attempt to avoid any kind of personal tracking: for example while we can't control every provider's logging, we attempt to disable IP address logging when we can. Other logs, like error logs or anonymized access logs for statistical monitoring, may be enabled, and there are times when IP address logging is required (like to troubleshoot a problem or address abuse.) We avoid using cookies, user analytics plugins, and third-party resources like hosted fonts and libraries.
If you send personal information to us, for example by emailing log files to support@comaps.app, the logs may contain GPS coordinates or bookmark data. You can always send the logs to yourself, edit them, and then send them in. Our support volunteers follow these procedures:
- We do our best to anonymize your data before sending it to developers or posting it on our Codeberg issues or in Zulip chats. For example we'll say "ticket 305" instead of your email address
- We'll try to filter out irrelevant log lines, so your entire travel route isn't passed along unless it's relevant.
- We close inactive support requests after a week, and delete closed requests from our system after a year.
We maintain presences on many third-party social media platforms, chat rooms, and collaboration tools, like Telegram, Matrix, Mastodon, Zulip, and Codeberg. Information you post on those platforms may be made public or stored/accessed according to those platforms' own policies, including your IP address. We have no control over those platforms, and moderate them according to our code of conduct and the platforms' terms of service.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us at legal@comaps.app
