Privacy Policy
Last Updated: June 8, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to TopoMapping (accessible at https://www.topomapping.com). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, process, and protect your information when you visit and use our website and free online interactive mapping services.
2. Client-Side GIS Data Processing (100% Local)
We build our mapping tools with a privacy-first, serverless design. This guarantees that your proprietary mapping files and spatial data are secure:
Absolute Client-Side Privacy: When you import or upload files (including GeoJSON, KML, GPX, or DXF format) to our tool, or export mappings you've drawn, the entire process runs locally within your browser using JavaScript. Your files and location data are never transmitted to our servers, uploaded, or stored remotely.
This ensures complete confidentiality for professional, commercial, or enterprise GIS projects. Once you close your browser tab, the loaded features are discarded from your local session.
3. Information We Collect
While we do not store your mapping data, we collect certain basic categories of information to operate and improve the platform:
- Contact Inquiries: If you use our contact form or email us directly, we receive your email address and message contents. This information is used solely to respond to your support request.
- Analytics & Cookies: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous traffic metrics. This includes information about your browser type, device, general geographical region, referral link, and pages visited on our site. Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish unique users, but does not collect personally identifying information.
- Third-Party Widgets: Our site integrates the official "Buy Me a Coffee" widget. Interacting with the widget may invoke cookies from their domain to handle transactions or state management.
4. Google Analytics Details
We use Google Analytics (using tag ID G-RBR918DQ7W) to understand website performance and improve user experience. You can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by blocking cookies in your web browser settings.
5. Cookies Policy
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you load web pages. TopoMapping uses:
- Performance & Analytics Cookies: Placed by Google Analytics to help us analyze website traffic.
- Session Cookies: Set by the browser or page components (e.g. tracking widget auto-clicks) to manage interface states.
You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. If you do not accept cookies, some parts of our service (such as third-party widgets) may not function optimally.
6. Data Security
Because your mapping documents are processed strictly in-browser, there is no centralized database of user maps that could be subject to data breaches. For any data we do receive (such as contact form inquiries), we employ standard security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location (such as the EEA/UK under GDPR, or California under CCPA), you may have rights regarding the personal information we process. Since we do not store your maps or coordinate details, our processing is limited to contact inquiries and anonymous analytics. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any emails you have sent us by contacting us directly.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of the policy.
