MapMonarchsWho we are
MapMonarchs is operated by Shukhrat Elmurodov (“we”). You sign in with an emailed code — there is no password. While the map is open, the app reads your precise location so our servers can decide whether you may claim the cell you are standing in. Ownership is decided server-side, never by your device.
What we handle
| Data | Collected | Why | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Email address | Yes | To send your one-time sign-in code and identify your account. Never shown to other players, never used for marketing. | Until account deletion |
| Account id | Yes | Your identity in the game. Your callsign and map colour are computed from it and are not stored separately. | Until account deletion |
| Precise location | Yes | Read while the map is open to place you and check claim eligibility. Each attempt — coordinates, accuracy, speed, a mock-location flag, and whether it was accepted — is logged to detect cheating. | 30 days, then auto-deleted |
| Territory & gameplay | Yes | Cells you hold, capture/reinforcement times, records and badges — the state of the game. | See deletion |
| Crash diagnostics | Opt-in | Firebase Crashlytics, off by default; sends reports only after you enable it in Settings. | Per Google, if enabled |
| Analytics | Off | Firebase Analytics is present but collection is disabled in the app. | — |
| Advertising ID | No | Not used. No ads. The advertising-id permission is removed from the app. | — |
Who processes your data
- Supabase — authentication, database, realtime, and server functions. Holds your email, account, location log, and game state. Acts as our processor.
- Resend — delivers your sign-in code email; receives your email address for that purpose.
- Mapbox — renders the map; receives the map view (derived from your location) to fetch the correct tiles.
- Firebase Crashlytics — crash diagnostics, only if you opt in.
We do not sell your data and do not use it for advertising. These providers process data on our behalf to run the game; they are not given your data for their own purposes.
Location
MapMonarchs uses precise, foreground location — only while the app is open and the map is on screen. There is no background tracking, no location service that runs when the app is closed, and no record of where you have been beyond the 30-day anti-cheat log above. Claims are only allowed on a fix accurate to within 30 metres. Other players can see the ground you hold — never your position.
Deleting your data
You can delete your account and personal data at any time, in the app or by request — see Delete your account.
Security & your rights
Traffic is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Game data is governed server-side: your device cannot assert ownership, entitlement, rank, or another player’s identity. To ask about your data or exercise your rights, contact support@mapmonarchs.com.
