This Privacy Policy explains how Phi McRee Designs LLC, doing business as Staked Maps ("Staked Maps," "we," "us," or "our"), collects, accesses, uses, discloses, retains, and protects information when you use Staked Maps.
This Privacy Policy applies when you:
Staked Maps is operated by Phi McRee Designs LLC in the United States.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, contact us at info@phimcreedesigns.com.
We try to limit the personal information we collect to what is reasonably necessary to operate, secure, support, and improve Staked Maps.
When you create a Staked Maps account, we collect:
We do not require your legal name as part of ordinary account registration.
Authentication services are provided through Supabase.
If you purchase a Staked Maps subscription, we may maintain information such as:
Website subscription payments are processed by Stripe.
Stripe collects payment and billing information directly. Staked Maps does not store your full payment card number, card security code, or bank-account credentials.
Stripe may provide Staked Maps with information needed to administer your subscription, such as a Stripe customer identifier, subscription identifier, subscription status, transaction status, subscription tier, and related transaction information.
If Staked Maps is later offered through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or another mobile application marketplace, purchases made through those platforms may be processed by the applicable platform. Those platforms may provide Staked Maps with transaction identifiers, subscription status, product information, expiration information, or similar information necessary to verify access to paid features.
If you contact us or use a feedback or support feature, we may collect:
We use this information to respond to you, troubleshoot problems, improve Staked Maps, and maintain reasonable support records.
If you voluntarily choose to receive marketing or informational communications from Staked Maps, we may maintain:
Marketing communications are optional.
If you have opted in, we may send you marketing or informational communications about Staked Maps. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us or by using any unsubscribe mechanism provided in the communication.
Unsubscribing from marketing does not prevent us from sending necessary account, security, billing, subscription, or service-related communications.
We may retain limited information necessary to remember and honor an unsubscribe request.
When your device communicates with Staked Maps, our servers and infrastructure providers may process standard technical and request information such as:
We use this information for purposes such as:
Standard technical and request logs may be retained by our hosting and infrastructure providers for up to 30 days under our current hosting configuration.
We do not maintain a separate application-level log of your precise device location.
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how Staked Maps is used and to improve the performance, usability, and effectiveness of the Services.
Depending on your device and use of Staked Maps, Google Analytics may process information such as:
Staked Maps does not send your account email address or Staked Maps user ID to Google Analytics.
Our current Google Analytics configuration has:
We use Google Analytics for measurement and product analytics, not for personalized advertising.
Google Analytics may use first-party cookies, including cookies such as _ga, to
distinguish users and sessions on the website.
Our current Google Analytics property is configured to retain:
The setting that resets the user-data retention period based on new user activity is disabled.
These retention settings do not necessarily control aggregated information used in standard Google Analytics reports, which Google may retain according to its own systems and policies.
We may update our analytics configuration in the future. If we make a material change to how analytics data is collected or used, we will update this Privacy Policy as appropriate.
Staked Maps includes optional location-based features.
Staked Maps may request access to your device's precise location when you deliberately use a feature such as:
Staked Maps does not request precise location merely because you open the website or application.
You must take an affirmative action to use a location feature, and your browser or operating system controls the location permission.
When you use these features, your precise device coordinates are used locally on your device to perform the requested function, such as centering the map or identifying the state containing your current position.
Under the current Staked Maps design:
You may revoke location permission at any time through your browser, device, or operating-system settings.
Some Staked Maps features operate on a geographic location that you select on the map rather than your device's physical location.
For example, when you use Draft A Claim, the coordinate you select is sent to our server so that Staked Maps can identify the applicable parcel or land-description information.
A map coordinate you select is not necessarily your actual physical location.
The selected coordinate may appear in standard infrastructure request logs and may therefore be retained for up to 30 days under our current hosting configuration.
The selected coordinate is not stored as part of your Staked Maps account.
Staked Maps may store application information locally on your device so that features remain usable when connectivity is weak or unavailable.
Depending on the feature and platform, locally stored information may include:
On the web, Staked Maps may use technologies such as:
Locally cached information remains on your device unless a specific feature requires information to be transmitted to Staked Maps.
You can generally remove locally stored information by clearing browser or application data, deleting offline maps, or uninstalling the application.
Downloading offline map data may use Wi-Fi or cellular data. Where practical, Staked Maps displays an estimated download size before an offline download begins.
We may use personal information to:
We do not use precise device geolocation for advertising.
Where applicable law requires us to identify a legal basis for processing personal information, our legal bases may include the following.
We may process information when necessary to provide services you requested, including:
We may rely on your consent where appropriate, including for:
You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that lawfully occurred before consent was withdrawn.
Where permitted by applicable law, we may process information based on legitimate interests such as:
We may process or retain information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, tax requirements, accounting obligations, or other lawful requirements.
We do not sell personal information for money.
We disclose information to service providers only as reasonably necessary to operate Staked Maps, provide requested services, maintain security, process payments, communicate with users, analyze service performance, or comply with law.
We use Supabase for authentication and related account services.
Supabase may process information such as your email address, account identifier, authentication information, and related technical data.
We use Stripe to process website subscription payments and manage billing-related functions.
Stripe processes payment information directly and may provide Staked Maps with subscription and transaction information necessary to administer your account.
We use Railway to host portions of the Staked Maps application and server infrastructure.
Railway may process standard technical and request information necessary to host and deliver the Services.
Under our current Railway hosting plan, infrastructure logs may be retained for up to 30 days.
We use Amazon Web Services (AWS), including AWS-hosted database infrastructure, to operate portions of the Staked Maps service.
AWS may process or store information on our behalf as necessary to provide that infrastructure.
We use Cloudflare Turnstile to help protect authentication and other application functions from bots, abuse, and automated traffic.
Cloudflare may process technical network information necessary to provide Turnstile and related security functions.
We also use Cloudflare R2 for storage of map-related assets, imagery, tiles, or similar application resources. Cloudflare R2 is not intended to store Staked Maps user account data.
We use Resend to deliver email communications, which may include:
Resend may process your email address and the content or metadata necessary to deliver those communications.
We use Google Analytics 4 for website and product analytics as described in this Privacy Policy.
Google may process analytics identifiers, usage activity, device information, browser information, approximate geographic information, and similar analytics data.
We may disclose information if we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:
If Phi McRee Designs LLC or Staked Maps is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing transaction, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of some or all business assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to applicable law.
Staked Maps uses browser storage, cookies, identifiers, and similar technologies for application functionality and analytics.
Browser storage may be used to:
Some of this storage is necessary for Staked Maps to function properly.
Google Analytics may use first-party cookies, including _ga and related cookies, to
distinguish users and sessions and measure use of the Services.
Google Analytics is used for measurement and product analytics. Staked Maps currently has Google Signals, Google Ads linking, user-provided data collection, and ads personalization disabled.
Your browser or device settings may allow you to block, remove, or restrict cookies and locally stored information.
Blocking storage that is necessary for authentication or application functionality may prevent some Staked Maps features from working correctly.
Where applicable law requires consent or additional controls for non-essential technologies, we will provide or honor those controls as required.
Staked Maps does not operate an advertising network or data-broker business.
We do not sell customer personal information for money.
We do not use precise device location for targeted advertising.
We do not currently use Google Analytics for personalized advertising.
If a particular activity is legally considered a "sale," "sharing," targeted advertising, or similar activity under an applicable privacy law, we will provide any notices, rights, or opt-out mechanisms required by that law.
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to legal, security, accounting, and operational requirements.
Account information is generally retained while your Staked Maps account remains open.
If you delete your account, we delete or de-identify account information that we are not required or reasonably permitted to retain.
Subscription information is retained as necessary to administer your subscription and account.
Certain transaction or subscription records may be retained after account deletion where reasonably necessary for:
Stripe retains its own transaction records according to its policies.
Standard technical and request logs may be retained by our hosting and infrastructure providers for up to 30 days under our current hosting configuration.
Our current Google Analytics settings retain:
The setting that resets the user-data retention period on new activity is disabled.
Google may separately retain aggregated or other information according to its own policies and systems.
Support and feedback communications may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to:
Marketing preferences may be retained while you remain opted in.
If you opt out, we may retain limited information necessary to remember and honor your request.
Offline maps and other locally cached information generally remain on your device until you:
Information removed from active systems may remain temporarily in secure backups until the applicable backup is overwritten or expires under ordinary backup procedures.
We do not restore deleted account information from backups for ordinary business use unless necessary for disaster recovery, security, or legal purposes.
Subscription cancellation and account deletion are separate actions.
Canceling a subscription stops future renewal.
Unless otherwise required by applicable law or the applicable payment provider's rules, cancellation does not automatically generate a prorated refund.
A canceled subscription may remain active through the end of the current paid billing period.
You may initiate deletion of your Staked Maps account through your account settings.
You may also use our external account-deletion page:
https://stakedmaps.com/account-deletion
or contact us at:
We may take reasonable steps to verify that a deletion request was made by the account owner.
Deleting your account removes your Staked Maps sign-in and active account data. Certain transaction or subscription records may be retained where reasonably necessary for accounting, tax, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or legal compliance. Stripe retains its own transaction records under its policies.
If you have an active paid subscription, cancellation and account deletion may need to be handled separately depending on the payment method used.
If Staked Maps is later offered through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or another application marketplace, subscriptions purchased through those platforms may also be subject to the applicable platform's cancellation, billing, and refund rules.
Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have rights concerning your personal information.
These rights may include the right to:
To make a privacy request, contact:
We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
You may withdraw location permission through your browser, device, or operating-system settings.
You may withdraw your marketing consent at any time by contacting us or by using any unsubscribe mechanism provided in a marketing communication.
You may be able to restrict or delete cookies and browser storage using your browser controls.
Where applicable law requires additional consent or privacy controls for non-essential technologies, we will provide or honor those controls as required.
Depending on applicable law, the categories of personal information we may process include the following.
Examples include:
Examples include:
Examples include:
Analytics or infrastructure providers may derive approximate geographic information from IP addresses or similar network information.
Precise device location may be accessed when you deliberately activate an optional Staked Maps location feature.
Under the current Staked Maps design, precise device location used by locate-me features is processed locally on your device and is not intentionally transmitted to or stored by Staked Maps servers.
A geographic coordinate that you deliberately select on the map for a feature such as Draft A Claim is separate from your device's precise location.
This may include:
We do not knowingly sell precise geolocation information.
We do not use precise geolocation for targeted advertising.
Where an applicable state privacy law provides additional rights, we will honor those rights as required.
Some browsers and devices support privacy preference signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC).
Where applicable law requires us to recognize a qualifying opt-out preference signal for a particular type of processing, we will honor that signal as required by law.
Global Privacy Control and traditional browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals are not the same thing.
There is currently no universally accepted technical standard requiring websites to respond to traditional DNT signals in a uniform way.
Staked Maps does not currently respond differently solely because a browser sends a traditional DNT signal.
We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, loss, or disclosure.
These measures may include:
Access to paid Staked Maps data is verified on the server based on the account's actual subscription entitlement.
Paid data is not intended to be delivered to a device merely because a user-interface element is hidden or displayed.
No internet transmission, storage system, or security measure can guarantee absolute security.
We therefore cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure will never occur.
Staked Maps is not directed to children under 13 years of age.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected without appropriate parental or legal authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to Staked Maps, contact:
Staked Maps may be used by teenagers or other minors for prospecting, mapping, educational, outdoor, or research purposes where permitted by applicable law.
Paid subscriptions and payment transactions may also be subject to the age, authorization, or payment-account requirements of the applicable payment provider.
Staked Maps is operated from the United States and is primarily designed for prospecting, mining-claim research, land research, and related activities in the United States.
The fact that Staked Maps may be accessible from another country does not mean that we specifically market or direct the Services to every jurisdiction from which they can be accessed.
If you access Staked Maps from outside the United States, information necessary to provide the Services may be processed in the United States or in other locations where our service providers operate.
Privacy and data-protection laws may differ between jurisdictions.
Where applicable law applies to our processing of personal information, we will honor privacy rights and other obligations as required by that law.
Staked Maps may contain links to third-party websites, government resources, public-record systems, or other services that we do not operate.
Examples may include federal, state, county, or other government websites.
These third-party websites and services operate independently and are governed by their own privacy policies, terms, and security practices.
Staked Maps is not responsible for the privacy, security, accuracy, availability, or content practices of unaffiliated third-party websites or services.
We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices, technologies, legal obligations, service providers, or Services change.
When we make changes, we will update the Last updated date at the top of this page.
If a change materially affects how we use personal information, we may provide additional notice where required by applicable law.
