Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

1. Overview and data controller

This page explains how 4mapper ("the Service") collects, uses and protects personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR – Regulation 2016/679). 4mapper is available at 4mapper.com. The data controller is the operator of 4mapper; for any privacy-related enquiries contact info@4mapper.com.

2. Data collected and legal basis

When you create an account, the following personal data is collected:

• Email address – required to create and secure your account, and to send you service-related communications and platform updates.
• Username – chosen by you; used to identify your account within the Service.
• Approximate location – derived from your IP address or selected by you; used to personalise content and for analytics.

Additionally, the following data may be collected during normal use:

• Usage data – pages visited, device type, browser, approximate region; used only to understand and improve how the Service is used.
• Contact data – when you email info@4mapper.com, your address and message are stored in the email system for as long as needed to handle your request.
• Project data – maps, dashboards or other content you create; stored only to provide the Service and never shared with advertisers.

The legal bases under GDPR for the processing described above are:

• Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) – account data and project data are processed to deliver the Service you signed up for.
• Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) – usage analytics and platform communications (feature announcements, changelog updates, service notices) are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the Service and keeping registered users informed. You can opt out at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by writing to info@4mapper.com.
• Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) – where required by applicable law.

3. Cookies and local storage

The Service uses cookies and browser local storage to remember your preferences, session state and project settings. These are strictly functional and are not used for behavioural advertising or cross-site tracking.

4. Data hosting and transfers

All personal data is stored and processed on servers located within the European Union. No personal data is transferred to countries outside the EEA unless an adequate level of protection is guaranteed (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses).

5. Third-party services

4mapper may integrate third-party services such as hosting providers, analytics tools or external APIs for widgets (e.g. weather or financial data). These providers act as data processors under appropriate data processing agreements (DPA) and may collect limited technical data as part of their normal operation. They do not receive your personal data for their own marketing purposes.

6. How your data is used

• To create and manage your account.
• To provide and maintain the Service and its features.
• To fix bugs, improve performance and develop new functionality.
• To send transactional emails (password reset, account security notices).
• To send platform communications such as feature updates, changelogs and service announcements, based on our legitimate interest (opt-out available at any time).
• To respond to your enquiries sent by email.

7. Data sharing

Personal data is never sold or shared with third-party advertisers. Data may be processed by service providers strictly necessary to operate the Service (hosting, email delivery, analytics), under appropriate data processing agreements.

8. Retention

Account data is retained for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, personal data is erased within 30 days unless retention is required by law. Usage analytics are retained in aggregated, anonymised form indefinitely.

9. Your rights (GDPR)

As a data subject you have the following rights, exercisable free of charge by contacting info@4mapper.com:

• Right of access – obtain a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification – correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to erasure – request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten").
• Right to restriction – ask us to limit processing of your data in certain circumstances.
• Right to data portability – receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to object – object to processing based on legitimate interest, including for platform communications; we will stop unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.
• Right to lodge a complaint – if you believe your rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with your national supervisory authority (e.g. Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali in Italy, or the authority in your country of residence).

We will respond to all requests within 30 days as required by GDPR Art. 12.
