Effective Date: May 4, 2026
Last Updated: May 4, 2026

1. Introduction

OnTerra Systems LLC ("OnTerra," "we," "us," or "our") operates MapSavvy and respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and disclose information when you visit www.mapsavvy.com, register for a MapSavvy free trial, purchase a MapSavvy subscription, or otherwise interact with our services.

By using our website or services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

When you contact us, request a free trial, purchase a subscription, or sign up for our newsletter, you may provide:

  • Name (first and last)
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Company name and company website
  • Mailing address (for paid subscriptions)
  • Payment information processed by our third-party payment processors (we do not store credit-card numbers on our servers)
  • Any additional information you choose to share in form submissions or correspondence

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website or use the MapSavvy WMS service, we may automatically collect:

  • IP address and approximate geographic location
  • Browser type and version, device type, and operating system
  • Pages viewed, time spent on pages, and referring URLs
  • WMS request volume and timestamps (for usage tracking against subscription limits)
  • Date and time of visit

This information is collected via standard server logs and analytics tools. WMS usage logs are retained to enforce subscription limits and provide usage reports.

2.3 Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses minimal cookies. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies. Any cookies set are limited to functional purposes (such as remembering accessibility preferences during a session).

3. How We Use Your Information

We use information you provide and information collected automatically to:

  • Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
  • Provision MapSavvy free trials and paid subscriptions
  • Deliver the MapSavvy WMS & WMTS imagery services
  • Track WMS usage against subscription limits
  • Process subscription transactions and renewals
  • Send service-related communications (renewals, product updates, technical notices)
  • Send marketing communications, where you have consented or where we have a legitimate interest (you can opt out at any time)
  • Analyze website traffic and improve user experience
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: with trusted third parties who help us operate our business — including SendGrid (email delivery), Cloudflare (hosting and security), and our payment processors. These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and may only use data to perform services for OnTerra.
  • Imagery providers: when you use the MapSavvy service, your WMS requests are forwarded to the underlying imagery provider (Google, Microsoft, or HERE). Limited request metadata may be shared with those providers as required to fulfill the request. This is governed by their respective privacy policies.
  • Legal compliance: if required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, property, or the safety of others.
  • Business transfer: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, customer information may be transferred as a business asset; in such cases, the receiving party will be required to honor this Privacy Policy.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, including legal, accounting, and reporting requirements. Customer records are typically retained for the duration of your relationship with OnTerra plus seven (7) years for tax and audit purposes. WMS request logs are retained for the duration of your subscription term plus a reasonable period for billing reconciliation. Marketing contact information is retained until you opt out or request deletion.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

  • Access: request a copy of personal information we hold about you
  • Correction: request correction of inaccurate information
  • Deletion: request deletion of your personal information (subject to legal retention requirements)
  • Opt-out of marketing: unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in our messages, or by contacting us directly
  • Data portability: request a portable copy of your information (where applicable)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@mapsavvy.com or by phone at 720.836.7201.

7. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

California residents have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete personal information, the right to correct inaccurate personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. OnTerra Systems does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of in that regard. To exercise other CCPA/CPRA rights, contact us as described above.

8. European Privacy Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the rights listed in Section 6 above plus the right to withdraw consent and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The legal bases on which we process your personal data include: your consent, the necessity of processing to perform a contract with you, our legitimate business interests, and compliance with legal obligations.

9. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), secure hosting infrastructure, access controls, and limited employee access on a need-to-know basis. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, however, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU/UK), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child under the applicable age, we will take steps to delete it.

11. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites (including Microsoft Bing Maps, HERE Technologies, Google Maps, and OnTerra Systems). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

12. International Data Transfers

OnTerra Systems is based in the United States, and your information will be processed in the U.S. If you are accessing our website from outside the U.S., please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will indicate when changes were made. Material changes will be communicated through prominent notice on our website or via email to customers. Your continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
