Privacy Policy

USER PRIVACY POLICY

We’re glad you stopped by View3DEarthMaps! We want you to know that care about your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we protect your privacy when you use our website, browser extension, or related software or other technology ( the “Services”). You should read this Privacy Policy carefully. Do not use our Services if you do not read or agree with this Policy.

A.   Personal Data We Collect

Importantly, we never intentionally collect sensitive information like social security numbers, biometric data, or financial data, or your name, email address or any other direct contact information unless you shared it with us.

If you download our browser extension, we collect your IP address, browser type, device details, cookies or other tracking data, user agent, and a unique user identifier generated by the host application, from which we may infer non-precise geolocation (e.g., city, state, or ZIP code). When visit our Website, we collect the following information:

-   Your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, non-precise geolocation (city, state, zip code), operating system, device identifiers, and information about how you navigate sites and links you click.
-   The use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not use any user search data for targeted advertising.

B.   Cookies

Similar to most websites, we use cookies and other tracking technologies (“Cookies”) to collect and store limited information about how you use our Website to do things like operate and secure our Website; measure and analyze usage patterns; deliver and personalize content; and improve overall functionality and performance. If you block or disable cookies, certain features of our Services may not function properly.

C.   Use of Personal Information

We use personal information to improve your user experience, including to help analyze the performance of our computer servers, to administer the Services, and to deliver personalized results from our analysis of your search terms. We may also use personal information to analyze trends, track Website visits, and gather other broad demographic information to assist us in identifying user preferences. We also collect and use data for business purposes (referred to as “legitimate interests” in certain jurisdictions), meaning we process data in ways that are necessary and proportionate to operate, secure, and improve our Website, consistent with user expectations. We do not track users when they cross to third-party websites and do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals.

D.   Sharing of Information With Others

We only share information with third parties in the following circumstances:

-   With third-party service providers, who assist us in operating, analyzing, or improving our Services. These include providers of data analysis, infrastructure, information technology, email delivery, and market-research services. We share personal information with such providers only to the extent necessary for them to perform their contracted functions, and we require them to protect your information to at least the same level of privacy and security standards that we maintain. Service providers are prohibited from using personal information for any purpose other than providing services on our behalf and must notify us if they can no longer meet our data-protection expectations.

-   With your consent or at your direction, such as when you request or authorize a specific disclosure;

-   Law Enforcement, Compliance, and Protection. We may use or disclose personal information as we believe necessary or appropriate: (a) to comply with applicable laws, legal processes, or governmental requests; (b) to enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements; (c) to protect our operations, rights, privacy, safety, or property, or those of our employees, users, or others; (d) to assist in fraud detection, prevention, or investigation; (e) to pursue available remedies or limit potential damages or (f) to manage or resolve legal disputes or claims, including with persons authorized to act on your behalf;

-   In emergencies or events beyond our control, such as natural disasters;

-   In aggregated or de-identified form, which we may share with our partners and service providers, for business purposes, such as maintaining, improving, and securing our Services, or supporting related functionality (including Linked Sites, as defined in our Terms of Use); and

-   With marketing partners, to deliver or measure marketing messages about our own products, services, or offers and to enhance your experience with our Services. We do not permit these partners to use your personal information for their independent advertising or marketing purposes.

-   In connection with mergers, acquisitions, or similar corporate transactions, including the sale, transfer, or reorganization of all or a portion of our business or assets. In such cases, personal information may be among the assets transferred, and we will ensure that any successor entity continues to handle your personal information in accordance with this Policy or provides you with notice and an opportunity to exercise your rights before any material changes take effect.

Any disclosures we make are limited to what is reasonably necessary for the purpose described and are subject to appropriate contractual or legal safeguards.

E.   Processing of Your Information

We are located in the United States. Any information we collect from you through the Services will be processed in the United States. We use commercially reasonable efforts to secure your personal information, but we cannot and do not assure that these measures will be sufficient to protect against all efforts to gain unauthorized access to the information.

Collected data is retained for only so long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which it was provided, or as long as is reasonably necessary for our legitimate business purposes. We may retain your information for longer periods if required by law, or in relation to legal claims.

F.   Children’s Privacy

Children under 16 should not use the Services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under that age. If you are under 16, please do not use the Services or provide us with any information. If we discover that we have collected personal information from a child under 16 without verified parental consent, we will delete it. Parents or guardians who believe we may have such information should contact us immediately.

G.   Your Privacy Rights

This Section describes various privacy rights. Your rights may vary depending on where you live. These rights may include the right to:

Access: depending on applicable laws, request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect, use, disclose, and share, as well as the business purposes for which we collect and use that information;

Correction: request that we correct any personal information that is inaccurate or outdated;

Deletion: request that we delete personal information we maintain about you, subject to applicable legal limitations;

Limit, restrict, object to, or opt out of processing or selling: under certain applicable laws, you may request that we stop or limit how we process your data, including limiting the use of sensitive personal information, and opt out of the selling of your personal information.

You also have the right to be free from discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.

If you have provided personal data based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. We will consider and process your request within a reasonable time period as required by applicable law.

Before processing or granting any request, we are required to confirm that the right being exercised is available under applicable law, as certain rights may apply only to residents of specific jurisdictions. Only you—or a person authorized to act on your behalf—may submit a verifiable request related to your personal information. To ensure security, we must verify your identity and confirm the personal information associated with you, which may require additional details depending on the type of request. We may use a third-party verification service to assist in this process.

We cannot process or respond to a request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information relates to you. Depending on the jurisdiction, limitations may apply to how often access requests can be submitted within a 12-month period, and we may have the right to decline requests that are unfounded, excessive, or otherwise not considered reasonable within that jurisdiction’s standards. For example, under California law you may only make a verifiable consumer request for Access twice within a 12-month period. If we deny your request, we will explain the reason and provide information about any rights to appeal. We strive to respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

To exercise your privacy rights, including the rights to access, delete, correct, and limit personal information as described below, please submit a request using our privacy request form.

Use our consent management tool via the cookie banner to opt out of our tracking. Please note that if you delete your browser cookies or use a different browser, you will need to opt out again.

If you have opted in to marketing emails, use the unsubscribe link included at the bottom of any marketing or promotional email we send you to opt out. Please note that even after you unsubscribe, you may still receive transactional or service-related messages related to your account or our ongoing business relationship which are legally permissible and required to maintain service.

If you downloaded our Browser Extension and wish to opt out of the collection of personal information, you may also do so by uninstalling the Extension using your web browser’s uninstall instructions.

Certain states may allow residents to appeal a denial of a privacy-related request. If we decline to process your request, you may have a right to appeal by emailing us at the email address in the last paragraph of this Notice. We may reject your request for appeal if the state in which you reside does not allow a right to appeal.

H.   Updates

We may revise or update this Policy from time to time. We’ll post any changes on the Website and change the effective date on this Policy. Continuing to use the Services following the posting of changes will constitute your consent to the changes.

I.   Contact Us

If you have any concerns about how we process your personal data, please contact us at . We take all concerns seriously and aim to resolve them promptly. We believe we can address most complaints with you directly, but you may also choose to file a complaint with the relevant data protection authority.
