Topo Maps is an outdoor map application for iOS and macOS. It is operated by East Studios Oy, a company registered in Finland under registration number Y-3146517-7. East Studios Oy is the data controller.

Information we process

• Account information: your email address, password hash, and account identifiers.
• Session and device information: information such as your device model, operating-system version, session details, and IP address.
• Location sharing: your latest location when you choose to use location sharing. We do not keep a location history.
• Operational logs: basic information about requests made to our service, including the time, requested endpoint, account identifier when signed in, and IP address.

How we use information

We use this information to operate Topo Maps, authenticate users, provide location sharing, respond to support requests, prevent abuse, and diagnose problems. We do not sell personal information or use account email addresses for marketing.

Location sharing

Location sharing is optional. When enabled, we store only your latest reported location. It is visible only to users with whom you have explicitly shared it. You can revoke access at any time.

Optional Riista feature

If you choose to retrieve a hunting area using the Riista feature, Topo Maps sends your account email address, IP address, and the requested hunting-area identifier to the operator of the external Riista service at oma.riista.fi. This information is sent only when you use the feature and is necessary to retrieve the requested area. The Riista service operator processes that information under its own privacy practices.

Service providers and legal requests

We may use service providers to host the service, deliver service emails, and diagnose technical problems. They may process information only as needed to provide those services. We may also disclose information when required by applicable law or a valid request from a public authority.

Retention

Account information is kept while your account remains active. When an account is deleted, its remaining operational records and backup copies are removed within 30 days.

Latest-location data, audit records, login records, server logs, deleted operational data, and backups are retained for no longer than 30 days.

Security and storage

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your information. Traffic between the app and our service is encrypted. Our primary service is hosted in the European Union. Some service providers may process information elsewhere using safeguards required by applicable law.

Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. You may also object to or request restrictions on processing where applicable. The Riista feature and location sharing are optional.
