Pathyn is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information is stored when you use Pathyn and how it is used.
When you choose to create a share link, Pathyn uploads a copy of your treasure map to secure cloud storage so that it can be viewed by anyone who has the generated link.
Shared maps are identified using randomly generated IDs and are not publicly listed or searchable.
The information stored consists only of the data required to recreate your map, including:
Pathyn does not require users to create an account or provide personal information in order to create or share maps.
Shared maps are retained for as long as necessary to provide the sharing feature. Pathyn may permanently delete older shared maps from time to time as part of routine maintenance or service improvements.
Payments for premium downloads are securely processed by Stripe. Pathyn does not store your payment card details.
Pathyn uses trusted third-party providers to operate parts of the service, including:
These providers process data only as necessary to provide their respective services.
Pathyn uses website analytics to understand how the application is used so that the service can be improved. These analytics are used in aggregate and are not intended to identify individual users.
Pathyn stores certain settings in your browser's local storage, such as your selected theme and current editing state, to improve your experience while using the application.
Shared maps are not routinely viewed by the developer. Access is limited to situations where it is necessary to investigate technical issues, respond to abuse reports, maintain the service, or comply with legal obligations.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page.
Pathyn processes shared maps solely to provide the sharing feature requested by the user. The lawful basis for this processing is the performance of a service requested by the user and Pathyn's legitimate interests in operating, maintaining, and improving the service.
Shared maps are stored securely using Google Cloud Storage through Firebase. Depending on the service configuration, your data may be processed and stored in data centres operated by Google.
Pathyn is designed to be used by families and educators. Children should use the service under the supervision of a parent, guardian, or teacher. Pathyn does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.
Depending on your location and applicable data protection laws, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, or to object to certain processing activities.
If you believe Pathyn holds personal information about you and you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below.
