Privacy Policy — Mapped

Effective date: October 1, 2026

Mapped ("the app", "we") is an astrology and Human Design companion. This policy explains what information the app uses and how.

1. Information We Collect

• Your name and email address, via Google Sign-In, to create and secure your account.
• Birth profile details you enter (name, birth date, time, location) for yourself and any companions you add — used to calculate natal charts, Human Design profiles, and compatibility (synastry) readings.
• Messages you send to the Sibling AI chat feature.
• Voice audio, only while actively using the Voice/Live conversation feature (microphone is never accessed in the background).
• App preferences (theme) and account state (subscription tier, feature usage counts, voice minutes used).

2. Where Your Data Is Stored

Once you sign in with Google, your birth profile, any companion profiles you add, your theme preference, and your account/subscription state are synced to our database (Google Cloud Firestore), tied to your account, so they're available across your devices. This data is not sold, and it is not shared with advertisers. Mapped does not use advertising or analytics trackers unless you opt in (see the next section). If you use an invite link, we store the invite code, who referred you, and your bonus-message balance on your account.

2a. Optional Ad Measurement (TikTok Pixel)

If you arrive from one of our TikTok ads, we may ask whether you allow ad measurement. Only if you choose “Allow”, Mapped loads TikTok's measurement pixel, which tells TikTok that a visit, a sign-up, or a subscription purchase happened so we can tell which ads work. TikTok may use cookies or similar identifiers for this, under TikTok's own privacy policy. We do not send TikTok your name, email, birth details, chart, or chat messages — only the event itself (and, for a subscription, the plan price). If you choose “No thanks” (or never answer), the pixel is never loaded. Your choice is stored on your device only, and clearing site data asks you again.

3. Third-Party AI Processing

To generate your briefing, chat replies, and voice conversation, your birth profile data, chat messages, and/or voice audio are sent to Google's Gemini API for processing at the time you request them, subject to Google's own API data handling terms.

4. Payments

Subscription payments are processed entirely by Paddle.com Market Limited, our payment provider, acting as merchant of record. Mapped never receives or stores your card details — see Paddle's own Buyer Privacy Notice for how they handle payment data.

5. Your Control Over Your Data

You can export a backup of your profile at any time from Settings. You can permanently delete your account from Settings, which removes your account and profile data from our database and deletes your sign-in record — this cannot be undone.

6. Children's Privacy

Mapped is not directed at children under 13.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the app evolves. The effective date above reflects the most recent change.
