Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Philosophy

At MapYourTech, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our platform.

Here's what we believe:

Privacy isn't a luxury—it's a right. We collect only what we need to provide you great service, protect it like it's our own, and give you complete control over your data. No hidden tracking, no data selling, no surprises.

Payment and billing details (handled securely by third-party gateways)
Usage data (tools used, pages visited, time spent to improve our content)
Technical data (IP address, browser type, device info for platform optimization)

What This Means: We only collect what we actually need to make MapYourTech work better for you. No creepy tracking or unnecessary data harvesting.

We'll post changes on this page with a revised effective date
We'll notify you via email for significant changes
We'll maintain a changelog of what specifically changed
