Mapple Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 25, 2026

This privacy policy applies only to Mapple, an Android app by Daniel Ciao. Mapple opens supported shared map links in the user's chosen maps app or browser.

Data Mapple Handles

Mapple can handle map links that you open, share to the app, or paste into the test field. These links may include place names, addresses, coordinates, search terms, directions, or short-link tokens.

Mapple does not require an account. Mapple does not include ads, analytics SDKs, tracking SDKs, payment features, or a developer-operated backend service.

How Mapple Uses Data

Mapple uses map link data only to provide the app's core function: parsing supported map links, resolving supported short links, converting supported links into Android maps intents or web fallback URLs, and opening the converted result in your chosen maps app or browser.

For supported short links, Mapple may send an HTTPS HEAD request to resolve the short link before opening it. Mapple may also hand converted location, search, or directions intents to the maps app or browser you choose on your device.

Data Sharing

Mapple does not sell user data.

Mapple does not share data with the developer for advertising, analytics, profiling, or marketing.

When Mapple resolves a supported short link, that short-link URL is sent over HTTPS as necessary to complete the action you requested.

When you choose to open the resulting map request in another maps app or browser, that app or browser handles the request under its own privacy policy.

Data Retention

Mapple does not store map links, locations, searches, directions, or short-link resolution results on a developer-operated server.

Mapple keeps map link data only as needed on your device to complete the current action. The app does not provide an account or cloud history feature.

Security

Supported short-link resolution uses HTTPS. Android geo intents are handled on device by Android and by the app you choose to open the map request.

Children's Privacy

Mapple is a general utility and is not directed to children. Mapple does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
