Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

1. What we collect

We collect only what is needed to publish the site and let you comment: your chosen language preference (stored locally in your browser) and, if you sign up to comment, your email address and display name.

2. Comments

When you post a comment, your name and the text you wrote are visible to all visitors. Your email is never displayed publicly. We may store the IP and timestamp of comment submissions for moderation and abuse-prevention purposes.

3. Cookies & local storage

We use minimal browser storage to remember your language preference and your sign-in session. We do not run third-party advertising trackers.

4. Analytics

If analytics are enabled, we use privacy-respecting aggregate analytics (page views, referrers). We do not sell your data and we do not build advertising profiles.

5. Third-party services

Authentication and storage are provided by our backend host. External links (e.g., our community group on Facebook) are governed by the privacy policy of those third parties.

6. Your rights

You may request access, correction, or deletion of any personal data tied to your account at any time. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

7. Children

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

8. Changes & contact

We may update this policy. Material changes will be noted at the top of the page. Questions or requests: hello@motheroffthemap.com
