MapSnap privacy policy

Private by design.

MapSnap is an offline-first geography game made by Paul Conby. It is designed for children and families without accounts, adverts or behavioural tracking.

Effective 27 August 2026

Information MapSnap uses

MapSnap does not require an account. It does not collect, transmit, sell or share personal information. It does not contain advertising, analytics, tracking, social features or location services.

MapSnap stores only the following information on the device:

  • game progress, best scores and play preferences;
  • an optional additional city selected by a parent in the England Cities activity; and
  • a local record that a verified MapSnap World purchase or access-code redemption has unlocked additional activities.

This information stays on the device unless the user independently backs up or transfers the device using Apple services. MapSnap does not receive it.

Children

MapSnap is designed for children and families. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Purchase controls and external links are placed behind a parental gate.

Purchases and access codes

Gameplay works offline. If a parent chooses to buy or restore MapSnap World, or redeem an individual access code, Apple processes and verifies that transaction. MapSnap does not receive payment-card information. Apple’s own privacy terms apply to its services.
