Curiosity Mapped

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 5, 2026

Curiosity Mapped, operated by Curiosity Mapped, LLC (“Curiosity Mapped,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), respects your privacy.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit or use the Curiosity Mapped website, how that information may be used and shared, and the choices that may be available to you.

Curiosity Mapped is designed to provide useful information and browser-based tools while collecting as little information as reasonably necessary to operate, understand, improve, secure, and support the website.

1. Information We Collect

You can browse Curiosity Mapped and use many of its tools without creating an account or directly providing personal information.

Depending on how you use the website, information may be collected automatically by Curiosity Mapped or by third-party services that operate on or in connection with the website.

Information collected automatically

Information associated with your visit may include:

We use this information primarily for website operation, analytics, security, performance measurement, improvement of our content and tools, and, where applicable, advertising.

Curiosity Mapped does not require you to provide your name, email address, or other directly identifying information simply to browse the website or use tools that operate entirely within your browser.

2. Information You Voluntarily Provide

Some features may allow you to voluntarily provide information, such as through a contact form, newsletter subscription, donation, account, feedback form, or similar feature.

When you voluntarily provide information, we may use it for the purpose for which it was provided, such as:

If a feature requires information that is not described in this Privacy Policy, we may provide additional information at or before the point where that information is collected.

Curiosity Mapped does not currently require an account to access the website’s general content or browser-based tools.

3. Google Analytics

Curiosity Mapped uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand how visitors use the website.

Google Analytics may collect information about website visits and interactions, including information about:

Google Analytics uses IP addresses at the time information is collected to derive geographic information, but Google states that IP addresses are not retained in Google Analytics reporting data.

We use Google Analytics to understand:

We do not intentionally configure Google Analytics to collect information such as your name, email address, passwords, or other information that directly identifies you.

Google processes information collected through Google Analytics according to its own policies and terms.

You can learn more about Google’s privacy practices and how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services through Google’s privacy resources.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Curiosity Mapped and third-party services used on the website may use cookies, local storage, pixels, web beacons, and similar technologies.

These technologies may be used for purposes including:

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies for analytics purposes.

If advertising is enabled, advertising providers may also use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as delivering advertisements, measuring advertising performance, preventing fraud, limiting advertising frequency, and personalizing advertisements where permitted.

The specific technologies used by Curiosity Mapped may change as the website, tools, and third-party services evolve.

You can generally control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Browser privacy controls, tracking protection, and content-blocking tools may also limit certain technologies. Disabling or restricting cookies and similar technologies may affect some website functionality.

Where applicable law or third-party platform requirements require consent before certain cookies or technologies are used, Curiosity Mapped will use appropriate consent mechanisms.

5. Browser-Based Tools

Many Curiosity Mapped tools are designed to operate entirely within your web browser.

When a tool operates entirely within your browser, information you enter into the tool is processed locally by your device rather than transmitted to a Curiosity Mapped server for that tool’s processing.

For example, information entered into a browser-based calculator, converter, formatter, or similar utility may remain on your device while the tool performs its operation.

Curiosity Mapped does not need to receive or store information entered into a tool that operates entirely within your browser in order for that tool to perform its intended function.

However, using a browser-based tool does not necessarily mean that no information is collected about your visit. The webpage containing the tool may use analytics, advertising, security, or other third-party services that independently collect information about the visit.

If a particular tool requires information to be transmitted to a server, that tool may provide additional information about how the information is handled.

6. Advertising

Curiosity Mapped may display advertising provided by third-party advertising providers, including Google AdSense.

Advertising may be introduced or changed as Curiosity Mapped develops. If advertising is enabled, advertising providers may use cookies, IP addresses, advertising identifiers, web beacons, local storage, and similar technologies to:

Google requires publishers using its advertising products to disclose relevant data collection and the use of technologies such as cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, and other identifiers.

Depending on your location, applicable law, and your privacy choices, advertisements may be personalized, non-personalized, or otherwise limited.

Where legally required, Curiosity Mapped will request consent before using certain cookies, local storage, or personal information for advertising and related purposes.

For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Google may require publishers serving personalized advertisements to use a Google-certified consent management platform integrated with the IAB Europe’s Transparency and Consent Framework.

If Curiosity Mapped introduces advertising or changes its advertising partners, this Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect those practices.

You may also be able to manage certain advertising personalization preferences through Google’s advertising controls.

7. How We Use Information

Information collected through Curiosity Mapped may be used to:

We seek to use information for legitimate business and operational purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.

8. How Information Is Shared

Curiosity Mapped may share information with third-party service providers when reasonably necessary to operate, analyze, secure, improve, or monetize the website.

These providers may include services for:

Third-party services may independently collect or process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

Curiosity Mapped does not sell personal information for monetary consideration.

However, certain advertising or online tracking practices may be considered “sale,” “sharing,” targeted advertising, or another regulated form of disclosure under particular privacy laws. Where applicable, Curiosity Mapped will provide the rights and choices required by those laws.

Curiosity Mapped may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

9. Data Retention

Curiosity Mapped seeks to retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, applicable legal requirements, and the service involved.

Information collected by third-party services, such as Google Analytics or advertising providers, may be retained according to those providers’ respective policies and configuration settings.

Where practical, Curiosity Mapped will configure third-party services to retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the intended purpose.

10. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on where you live and which services you use, you may have several ways to control information collection and use.
