Welcome to MappedGarden ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our web application. Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the application.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Session Data

Our application operates in session mode, meaning your garden designs and configurations are only maintained during your current browser session. When you close your browser or navigate away from the application, your designs will not be automatically saved.

Important: We do not store your garden designs or personal data on our servers or in your browser's local storage. Any designs you create exist only during your current session.

2.2 Technical Information

We may automatically collect certain technical information when you use our application:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Screen resolution and display settings
  • IP address (for basic analytics only)

2.3 Third-Party Services

Our application may contain advertisement spaces that are managed by third-party advertising networks. These services may collect information about your browsing activities according to their own privacy policies.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide and maintain our garden layout visualization service
  • Improve the functionality and user experience of our application
  • Analyze usage patterns to enhance our features
  • Ensure the security and proper functioning of our application
  • Comply with legal obligations

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties, except in the following circumstances:

  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights
  • Service Providers: We may share technical information with trusted third parties who assist us in operating our application
  • Advertising: Third-party advertising networks may collect information through ads displayed in our application

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information:

  • We use secure connections (HTTPS) for all data transmission
  • Regular security assessments and updates
  • Limited access to any collected data on a need-to-know basis
  • No persistent storage of user designs or personal information

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have the following rights regarding your information:

  • Session Control: Your garden designs exist only during your current session and are automatically cleared when you close your browser
  • No Data Persistence: We do not store your designs, so there is no data to delete or access after your session ends
  • Export: You can export your garden designs using our print/export features during your session
  • Control: You can disable certain features or clear cookies through your browser

7. Cookies and Session Storage

Our application uses:

  • Session Storage: For temporary data during your current browser session only
  • Cookies: For basic functionality and analytics (if any)
  • No Local Storage: We do not use local storage to save your garden designs or preferences

You can control these through your browser settings. Note that clearing session storage will reset your current garden design, as designs are not saved between sessions.

8. Third-Party Links and Services

Our application may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

9. Children's Privacy
