• Account information, such as your login identifier, email address, display name, profile details, and authentication data.
• Community content, such as reviews, ratings, photos, videos, discussions, rule edits, restriction data, sources, and moderation notes.
• Approximate map and location-related information, such as places you search, map bounds requested by your browser, and places you contribute to.
• Notification preferences, including whether you choose in-site, email, or browser notification options.
• Technical information, such as IP address, device/browser type, pages visited, cookies, analytics identifiers, diagnostics, and security logs.
• Reward or fulfillment information when applicable, such as mailing address details you provide for contributor rewards.

How we use information

• Operate, secure, maintain, and improve DroneMap.
• Display community map content, reviews, discussions, rules, restrictions, and edit history.
• Moderate submissions, investigate abuse, verify data quality, and enforce posting guidelines.
• Send account, moderation, contribution, reward, discussion, and notification messages based on your settings.

Public submissions

Reviews, ratings, rule edits, restrictions, sources, photos, videos, discussion posts, and related contribution history may be public or visible to moderators. Do not submit private information, sensitive personal details, copyrighted content you do not own, or anything you do not want associated with your account.

Cookies, analytics, ads, and third-party services

DroneMap may use cookies, local storage, analytics, advertising pixels, embedded services, maps, hosting providers, email providers, and security tools. These services may process technical information according to their own policies. Browser settings may allow you to block or delete cookies, but some features may not work correctly.

Notifications and email

You can manage notification preferences in your account settings. DroneMap may still send essential account, security, legal, or service messages where necessary. Browser push or browser alerts require your browser permission and may not be available on every device.

Sharing and disclosure

We may share information with service providers that help operate DroneMap, when required by law, to protect safety or rights, during a business transfer, or with your direction or consent.

Data retention

We keep information as long as needed for the purposes described here, including account operation, public map history, moderation, security, legal compliance, backups, and dispute resolution. Public contributions may remain visible after account changes where appropriate for map integrity and audit history.

Your choices

• You may update account details and notification preferences where available.
• You may request help with account or privacy questions by contacting support.
• You can choose not to submit public content or sensitive details.
• You can manage cookies and browser notifications through your browser settings.

DroneMap is not intended for children under 13. Do not use DroneMap or submit information if you are under 13.
