PinMap Privacy Policy Effective Date: June 2026

At PinMap, your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We've written it in plain language so it's easy to understand.

What We Collect When you use PinMap, we collect the following to make the app work:

  • GPS location and travel routes

  • Speed estimates and travel timestamps

  • Motion and accelerometer data

  • Device information (e.g. phone model, operating system)

  • Feedback you choose to share with us

How We Use Your Information We use this data to:

  • Run and improve the PinMap service

  • Analyze road and transportation conditions

  • Improve the accuracy of our detection technology

  • Train our machine learning and AI models (using anonymized, aggregated data only)

  • Generate transportation insights for research and planning purposes

Data Sharing We do not sell your personal information. We may share anonymized or aggregated data — meaning it cannot be traced back to you — with research organizations, transportation agencies, infrastructure stakeholders, and business partners.

Transportation & Infrastructure Data PinMap may use aggregated, anonymized transportation data for research, operational, and commercial purposes. This data does not identify individual users.

Location & Motion Permissions PinMap needs access to your location and motion data to work properly. You can manage these permissions at any time in your device settings. Turning them off may limit some features.

Data Retention We keep your information for as long as needed to operate and improve the service. You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at support@pinmap.app.
