We collect the minimum needed to run a search-visibility tool: an email address to sign you in, the businesses and keywords you ask us to track, and the results we measure. We do not sell anything to anyone, we do not run advertising trackers, and we do not build a profile of you across other sites.
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Your email address | To send the sign-in link and account notices. It is the account identifier. |
| Your organisation name, branding, logo | To render your reports under your own identity. |
| Businesses, addresses and keywords you enter | To run the scans you asked for. |
| Scan results | The product. Search results at coordinates, and where the business you track sits in them. |
| Billing details | Held by Stripe, not by us. We store a customer reference and the plan state. |
| Server logs | Requests, errors and timing, for keeping the service working. |
| Free scan: your email address | Only if you ask to see the full map. One email about that scan, and nothing else unless you ask. |
| Free scan: your IP address | Used to count how many free scans have come from one place today, and never stored. It is hashed together with the date, so yesterday's value cannot be recomputed and the counter cannot be turned back into a list of who visited. The counters delete themselves after 24 hours. |
We do not use cookies for advertising or analytics. The only cookie we set is the session cookie that keeps you signed in. The free scan page loads Cloudflare Turnstile, which is a bot check rather than a tracker — it is the one third-party script on this site, and it is on no other page.
A scan records public search results, which include competitor business names, ratings and review counts. That is information Google already shows to anyone who searches, and we hold it as measurement. If you are a business that appears in someone's scan and you want to know more, write to hello@mapvue.com.
| Processor | What they see |
|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Hosting, database, file storage and the headless browser that renders PDFs. Everything sits here. |
| Search-data providers | The keyword and the coordinates for each scan. Not your identity. |
| Stripe | Your billing details and payment, handled entirely on their systems. |
| Our email provider | Your email address and the contents of sign-in and account emails. |
| Cloudflare Turnstile | On the free scan page only, to tell a person from a bot. It sees the check's own token and your IP address. It is not an advertising tracker and sets no advertising cookie. |
| Data | Kept for |
|---|---|
| Account and organisation records | While the account exists |
| Scan summaries (coverage, position, counts) | Indefinitely, so long-run history stays comparable |
| Full grid results for a scan | 13 months — enough for a year-over-year comparison |
| Generated report PDFs | 12 months |
| Free-scan results and email addresses | 24 months |
| Free-scan rate-limit counters | 24 hours, then deleted automatically |
| Sign-in links | Minutes. They are single-use and expire quickly. |
A report link is an unguessable URL that needs no sign-in, so that your
client can open it. Those pages carry noindex and are excluded in
robots.txt, and revoking a link deletes it and its PDF at once.
Anyone who was given the URL before you revoked it loses access immediately.
You can ask us for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete your account and everything under it. Write to hello@mapvue.com and we will act within 30 days. Deleting an account removes its organisations, locations, scans and reports.
Depending on where you live you may also have the right to complain to a data protection authority in your own country.
There are no passwords to steal — sign-in is a single-use link. Every read of your data is filtered by your organisation, report PDFs are served through the application rather than from a public bucket, and uploaded logos are checked by parsing the image itself rather than trusting what the file claims to be.
If we change this policy materially we will email the account owner before it takes effect, and the date at the top will change.
