  1. Use of Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to help you personalize your online experience while using the Services and to improve and analyze our Services. Tracking technologies may include, but are not limited to, beacons, tags, and scripts. “Cookies” are small text files that are placed on your device as you are utilizing the Service. They are processed and stored by your web browser. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize content or register a user account on the Site, a cookie helps us recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as your name, location, and so forth. When you return to the Site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved so you can easily use any features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most modern web browsers (ie: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, etc.) automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Site.

By using the Site, and agreeing to allow cookies, you understand that we use cookies through the Site for various purposes. Some of these cookies are placed on your device for a limited duration while others may be placed on your device for an infinite duration. At any time, you can delete these cookies through your web browser’s settings.

At any time, we may request you confirm that you have been advised of, read, acknowledge, and agree to our policy on cookie usage. This confirmation may be collected through email, notices on the website, and/or other electronic means via the Site.

  1. Mobile Applications (“Apps”)

MAPO may develop and maintain mobile applications, herein the “Apps,” for users to download through the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store, either internally or by hiring a third-party contractor. Apps will never be available for download through other websites, forums, or platforms. Downloading, installing, interacting, or otherwise using official MAPO Apps from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store on your phone, tablet, or other device running a current version of Android or iOS is governed by this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. You are also bound by Google’s and/or Apple’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. You can control whether or not to allow specific permissions, as outlined below, when you first install the app, or by editing the permissions in the app settings section of your device. Our app tracks specific functions using Google Analytics (GA) within the app. Section 4 of this Privacy Policy regarding use of user behavior tracking also applies to our Apps.

MAPO Apps may request the following permissions for Android:

  • Location: Approximate location (network-based), Precise location (GPS and network-based)
  • Internet: View Wi-Fi connections, View network connections, Full network access
  • Other: Control vibration, Prevent device from sleeping, Notifications

MAPO Apps request the following permissions for iOS:

  • Location: Coarse location (network-based), Precise location (GPS and network-based)
  • Diagnostics: Crash Data, Performance Data, Other Diagnostic Data
  • Identifiers: User ID

We use both network-based and GPS-based location services on your phone to supply functionality to the app. The location data received by the app is used to provide your location on maps within the app. We may determine what city, state, and/or county you are located in based on the GIS coordinates supplied from your device solely for analytics purposes. This information is not stored in any database or server belonging to us and is not specifically identifiable to you.

In order for our app to work, we request both Wi-Fi and phone service provider internet permissions to sync information from our servers to the app, for you to view the information you are seeking. The internet permissions allows the app to use your preferred method of connecting to the internet. No personal identifiable information or data is shared with MAPO. However, if you create a new account with MAPO, or already have an existing account, the same policies that apply to our website regarding these processes also apply to the app. We use your email address and password to authenticate you with our server. This information is never shared with third-parties and is only used for account login purposes.

In order to provide you with real-time information, we may request to send you push notifications to your device. To perform this function, we request permission to your phone’s controls to be able to “vibrate” your device. For push notifications to be delivered to you, we have to “prevent devices from sleeping.” This allows the MAPO app to periodically check for any notifications it needs to send you. We do not receive any information from you during either of these processes. You can enable or disable push notifications at any time in the app’s settings.

MAPO will never sell, trade, give, or otherwise share any personal information, analytics data, and account information with any third-party.
