Privacy Policy
Effective August 2026
The short version: we don't know who you are, and we'd like to keep it that way. Your files never leave your device. We keep anonymous tallies (how many visits, how many exports) with no cookies, no accounts, and no identifiers.
Your geocaching data never leaves your device
CacheMap parses your GPX file, assigns counties, animates, and renders exports entirely in your browser. Your finds are never uploaded to us — you can verify this in your browser's network tools. Corrections and preferences you make are stored in your browser's local storage, on your device, and can be cleared by you at any time.
No accounts, no cookies, no tracking identifiers
The Service has no user accounts, sets no tracking cookies, and does not fingerprint or identify visitors.
GetMapGo mobile app error reporting
When “Share anonymous crash reports” is enabled in the GetMapGo mobile app’s Profile, the app uses Sentry to send scrubbed crash and error diagnostics. Reports may contain an error and stack trace, app version, operating-system version, device model, and severity. They do not contain screenshots, session replay, Atlas or map files, tracks, routes, waypoints, notes, searches, API keys, or precise GPS coordinates. Reporting can be turned off at any time in the app. Reports created without connectivity may be queued on the device and delivered after it reconnects.
Sentry necessarily processes the connection’s IP address while receiving a report. The app configures the Sentry SDK not to attach an IP address to the report payload. Sentry’s processing is also governed by its own privacy policy.
Anonymous usage statistics
So we can tell whether anyone uses this, we count aggregate, anonymous events: page visits (via cookieless analytics), the number of animations built and exports made (by format), and coarse, bucketed size ranges (for example, "an animation of roughly 5,000–5,500 finds was exported"). These counts contain no names, no coordinates, no identifiers, and cannot be traced back to a person or a geocaching account. When the built-in embed helper is used, we also count which hosting service it was used for (for example "a Google Drive link was converted") — the link itself is never transmitted or stored.
GetMapGo mobile app usage statistics
When “Share anonymous usage statistics” is enabled in the GetMapGo mobile app (on by default), the app sends coarse product events to our own Cloudflare-hosted endpoint. Examples include an Atlas being created or opened, an offline download completing, a Field Ready result, a track being saved, or weather and route-profile features being opened. Events may include the app version, operating system, broad result categories, waypoint type, and coarse duration buckets.
These statistics do not contain a device or advertising identifier, GPS location, Atlas/route/track/waypoint names, search text, notes, filenames, imported file contents, or exact distances and times. Events created while offline may be held in a small, capped queue and delivered after the app reconnects. Turning statistics off in Profile deletes queued events and stops new ones.
Hosting
The Service is hosted on Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes standard request metadata (such as IP addresses) transiently to deliver the site and defend against abuse; that processing is governed by Cloudflare's own privacy policy. We do not receive or store your IP address in our statistics. Anonymous app and website event counts are stored in Cloudflare Workers Analytics Engine.
Email sign-up
If you give us your email on the sign-up form, we use it for GetMapGo updates only — things like beta testing invites, launch news, and new tools. We don't sell, share, or enrich it. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can request deletion at any time.
Things you choose to do elsewhere
If you host an export on a third-party service (Google Drive, Dropbox, your geocaching profile), that activity is governed by those services' terms and privacy policies, not this one.
Changes
If our practices change, this page changes first, with a new effective date. We will not quietly weaken the promises above.
