1. Introduction
MS Associates ("we," "our," or "us") is dedicated to protecting the privacy of our users ("user," "you," or "your"). This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile application HistoriMap: Interactive Atlas (the "Application" or "Service").
We believe in complete transparency and user privacy. Because HistoriMap operates as an entirely offline application, we do not collect, process, store, or transmit any personal data or usage data. This policy explains our commitment to zero data collection and outlines your rights when using our application.
2. Information Collection and Usage
A. Personal Identification Information
We do not collect any personally identifiable information (PII). This includes, but is not limited to:
Names or usernames
Email addresses
Phone numbers
Physical addresses or geographic location data
Identification numbers (such as SSN, passport numbers, or government IDs)
B. Device and Technical Information
We do not collect technical data from your device, such as:
IP addresses
Device identifiers (IMEI, MAC address, Android ID, Advertising ID)
Hardware models, operating system versions, or system configurations
Battery levels, network status, or carrier information
C. Usage Data and Analytics
We do not track or collect usage data. We do not use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics for Firebase, Flurry, Mixpanel, or similar platforms) to monitor app usage, screen views, session durations, or user interactions.
3. Third-Party Services and SDKs
HistoriMap contains zero third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs), advertising networks, or data-sharing plugins. Specifically:
No Advertising Networks: We do not display ads (e.g., Google AdMob, Unity Ads) and do not utilize advertising tracking identifiers.
No Third-Party Analytics: No third-party tracking scripts or telemetry tools are integrated into the application.
No External Links: The app operates in a self-contained offline environment without external hyperlinks or redirects.
4. Device Permissions
The Application is engineered to operate without requesting access to sensitive device capabilities. HistoriMap does not request or use runtime permissions, including:
Camera or microphone access
Precise or approximate location services (GPS / Network)
Device contacts or call logs
External storage read/write permissions
Network/Internet access state
5. Data Storage and Local Preferences
All app settings, selected visual themes, and timeline positions are processed and stored exclusively on your local device.
Local app configuration data remains strictly within the application's local container memory.
If you uninstall or clear the data for HistoriMap, any saved local preferences will be permanently deleted from your device.
None of this data is ever backed up to external servers or transmitted to us.
6. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR Compliance)
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. HistoriMap is a family-friendly educational tool suitable for users of all ages, including children under 13 years of age.
Compliance with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act): Because our Application collects zero personal information from any user, we do not collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
Compliance with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation): We do not collect or process personal data of individuals located in the European Union or European Economic Area, regardless of age.
If you are a parent or legal guardian and have any questions regarding our privacy practices, please contact us at msassociates970@gmail.com.
7. Compliance with Global Privacy Regulations
Because HistoriMap collects no personal data whatsoever, it inherently complies with major global data protection laws, including:
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation - EU)
CCPA / CPRA (California Consumer Privacy Act / California Privacy Rights Act - USA)
PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act - Canada)
LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados - Brazil)
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal standards or app features. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Because our core architecture relies on 100% offline functionality, our fundamental commitment to zero data collection will remain unchanged.
