Privacy Policy
MapMC turns real-world map data into Minecraft world files. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and the rights you have over it.
1. Who we are
MapMC ("we", "us") operates the website at mapmc.app, a tool that turns real-world map data into Minecraft world files. For legal contact details see our Imprint (/imprint).
Payments and Credits data
Stripe processes new Credits-pack and one-time generation payments. We store provider references, paid USD amount, bonus and total Credits, immutable Credits ledger entries, price-zone snapshots, and refund or dispute status. If you choose to save a payment method, Stripe stores it for future MapMC checkouts; MapMC keeps only the associated Stripe Customer reference, never a card number or CVC. Legacy Creem transactions remain as historical financial records only.
3. Why we collect it
To operate your account and authenticate you. To process top-ups and maintain your balance. To generate worlds and let you download them. To send transactional email (verification, receipts, job status). To prevent fraud and abuse. To comply with tax and accounting obligations.
4. Third-party processors
We share the minimum data necessary with these processors. Each has its own privacy policy: Stripe — payment processing. Receives your email and payment details (card data goes directly to Stripe, never through us). Neon — PostgreSQL database hosting. Stores account, balance, and job records. Cloudflare R2 — object storage for generated world files. Resend — transactional email delivery. Receives your email address and message content. Vercel — website hosting and cookieless analytics. Google — Google Analytics 4 usage and commerce measurement. Receives pseudonymous identifiers and event/transaction metadata, not card numbers. Microsoft — Clarity session analytics when enabled. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for advertising.
5. Data retention
Generated files — kept 30 days from creation, then automatically deleted from R2. Download and save the file to keep it permanently. Account, balance, job records — kept while your account is active. Audit log — financial events (top-ups, spends, refunds) are retained for 6 years for tax/legal compliance. This log references your user ID but contains no other personal data.
6. Cookies
We use a single essential cookie to keep you logged in (your Better Auth session). We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. See our Cookie Policy (/cookies) for details.
Account deletion and financial retention
After a second confirmation, an administrator can complete the privacy deletion. We delete the account, sessions, generated worlds, downloads, map selections, and other personal generation data. Financial and audit records required by law are retained for the applicable period, detached from the deleted account and stripped of direct identifiers.
8. Data location
We aim to host user data in EU regions where our providers offer it. Some processors (Stripe, Cloudflare) operate globally; transfers are covered by their standard contractual clauses.
9. Children
MapMC is not directed at children under 16. If you believe a child has created an account, email us and we will remove it.
10. Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be announced by email or a notice on the site. The "last updated" date above always reflects the current version.

Marketing email choices
We send account, security, payment and world-status emails as necessary service messages. We send MapMC product updates, tutorials and offers only when you actively opt in and confirm the separate subscription email. You can withdraw that marketing consent at any time without affecting your account or existing Credits.
