Privacy Policy
This policy explains what Blizzard Maps ("we", "us") collects, why, and what we do and don't do with it. Blizzard Maps is operated by Serverific (Tom Blizzard). If anything here is unclear, email [email protected].
What we collect
- Account information. When you create an account we store your email address, a securely hashed version of your password (never the password itself), and an optional display name.
- Location and ride data. When you record or save a ride, we store the route you planned and the track of where you actually went — a series of timestamped GPS coordinates, and where available the elevation and speed at each point. This is location data about you.
- Content you create. Rides you save, routes you plan, places you save, and files (such as GPX) you import.
- Basic technical data. Standard server logs (such as IP address and browser type) needed to operate and secure the service.
How we use it
- To provide the service: to let you sign in, plan routes, and save, view, and replay your rides.
- To keep your data available to you across your devices.
- To operate, secure, debug, and improve the service.
Your location data is private by default
A saved ride is a record of where you were and when — we treat it as sensitive. Your rides are visible only to you. We do not make your rides public, and we do not expose them to other users. If sharing features are added in the future, sharing will always be something you choose and can revoke — never on by default.
What we do NOT do
- We do not sell your personal information.
- We do not sell or share your location or ride data.
- We do not show you third-party advertising based on your data.
Third-party services
To provide maps and terrain, the service loads map tiles and elevation data from third-party providers. Your browser contacts those providers to fetch imagery; we do not send them your account information. If you sign in with a third-party provider (such as Google) in the future, that provider handles your sign-in according to its own policy.
Data retention and deletion
We keep your account and ride data until you delete it or ask us to delete your account. You can delete individual saved rides at any time. To delete your account and associated data, email [email protected].
Security
Passwords are stored using strong one-way hashing. We take reasonable measures to protect your data, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
Children
Blizzard Maps is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
Changes
We may update this policy as the service evolves. Material changes will be reflected by the date at the top of this page.
