Privacy Policy — MapHopper

Last updated: September 2026

MapHopper ("the app") is developed by Duskwing Studios ("we," "us," "our"). This policy explains what data the app collects and how it's used.

The short version

MapHopper doesn't have accounts, doesn't store your locations or link history, and doesn't run its own servers. When you paste or share a map link into the app, it's read on your device, converted to open in the map app you choose, and then discarded — none of it is sent to us or kept anywhere.

The only data that leaves your device is limited technical information required for advertising (via Google AdMob), described below.

What the app does with a link

• When you paste, share, or copy a map link (from Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, Yandex Maps, 2GIS, KakaoMap, Amap, Baidu Maps, or Naver Map), MapHopper reads it on your device to figure out the location it points to
• It then hands that location off to the map app you pick, using that app's own link format
• MapHopper may check your clipboard when you open the app to see if it contains a map link, so it can offer to use it — this check happens on your device and nothing about it is transmitted anywhere
• None of this — the links you paste, the places they point to, or which map app you chose — is stored by MapHopper or sent to us. It isn't logged, isn't linked to you, and doesn't persist once you've moved on

Data collected by third-party services we use

Advertising (Google AdMob)
MapHopper shows ads via Google AdMob, which may collect device/advertising identifiers, general ad-interaction data, and approximate (non-GPS) location for ad relevance. If you grant permission via the App Tracking Transparency prompt, this may be used for more relevant ads; if you decline, you'll still see ads, just not personalized. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Purchases (Apple App Store / Google Play)
If you purchase Remove Ads (monthly or lifetime), Apple or Google processes the transaction directly. We receive confirmation a valid purchase was made — no payment details ever pass through us, and entitlement is checked against your own purchase records on your device, not stored on any server we run.

What we don't do

• We don't have servers storing your links, locations, or usage history
• We don't sell your data
• We don't require an account, email, or sign-in to use the app
• We don't track which locations you look up or which map apps you open them in

Your choices

• You can decline App Tracking Transparency at any time; the app stays fully functional
• Since there's no account and nothing is stored, there's no data for us to delete on request — deleting the app removes everything on your device

Children

MapHopper is suitable for a general audience and contains no mature content.
