Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 9, 2026

MapGrid is operated by MCP Capital LLC ("MCP Capital", "we", "us"). This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.

1. Information We Collect

Account information: name, email address, company name, professional role. Provided during registration.

Usage data: pages viewed, features used, map interactions, search queries, export activity. Collected automatically to improve the Service and enforce tier limits.

Payment information: processed and stored by Stripe. We store only your Stripe customer ID, not credit card details.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and maintain the Service
  • To process subscriptions and billing
  • To send transactional emails (account, alerts, exports)
  • To enforce usage limits per subscription tier
  • To improve the Service based on aggregate usage patterns

3. What We Do Not Do

  • We do not sell your personal information to third parties
  • We do not share your search history or project data with other users
  • We do not use your data for advertising
  • We do not store or redistribute property owner names redacted under Daniel's Law

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored in a PostgreSQL database on our cloud infrastructure with encryption at rest. All data in transit is encrypted via TLS 1.3. Access is restricted per account so users can only access their own projects, alerts, and exports.

5. Cookies and Tracking

Cookies: We do not use advertising, tracking, or marketing cookies. To keep you signed in, we store a session token in your browser's local storage, which is required for the Service to function.

Single sign-on: if you choose to sign in with Google or Microsoft, two short-lived cookies are set on that sign-in only: one binds the request to your browser to prevent cross-site request forgery, and one carries your session token for the single redirect back to MapGrid, where it is moved into local storage and the cookie is deleted. Both expire within minutes and neither is used for tracking, advertising, or analytics.

Analytics: We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views and measure site performance. It is cookieless, collects no personal data, and does not track individuals across sites or build a profile of you.

We also use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use MapGrid — pages visited, features used, and general geographic region. Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish unique visitors. You can opt out via your browser settings or the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Error monitoring: We use Sentry to detect and fix software errors. Sentry may receive technical information about your browser, device, and the error context (e.g., URL, stack trace). This data is used solely for debugging and is retained for 90 days.

6. Third-Party Services

  • Oracle Cloud - Cloud infrastructure and database hosting
  • Stripe - Payment processing
  • Cloudflare - CDN, tile hosting, and cookieless web analytics
  • Resend - Transactional email
  • Google Analytics - Usage analytics (uses cookies; opt-out available)
  • Sentry - Error monitoring and crash reporting
  • OpenFreeMap - Street and topographic basemap tiles (the default basemap)
  • USGS National Map - Satellite/aerial imagery basemap tiles
  • CARTO - Dark basemap tiles
  • NJ Office of GIS - Historical aerial imagery for New Jersey, loaded only if you turn that layer on
  • Fonts - Self-hosted via our servers (no third-party font delivery requests)

About basemap tiles: the four tile providers above are contacted directly by your browser whenever the corresponding basemap is displayed, so they receive your IP address and the coordinates of the tiles you view. We do not send them your account, search terms, or any parcel you look up — but the tiles you request do indicate the area you are viewing. Only the provider for the basemap you have selected is contacted.

7. Data Retention

Account data is retained for the duration of your subscription. Upon account deletion, your personal data is removed within 30 days. Anonymized usage statistics may be retained for analytics.

8. Your Rights

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting privacy@mapgrid.us or through your account settings. You can also download a copy of your data from Settings > Security > Download my data.
