1. Introduction

Welcome to Geoman.io ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how Paraply Ventures AS (operating as Geoman) collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our website (https://geoman.io), use our software plugins (Leaflet-Geoman, MapLibre-Geoman), or subscribe to our Pro services.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws.

2. Who We Are

3. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide to Us

  • Account Information: When you sign up for a Geoman account or purchase a license, we collect your name, email address, and company name.
  • Payment Information: We do not store your full credit card details on our servers. Payment transactions are processed by our third-party payment processor (Stripe), which collects and processes payment information securely.
  • Communications: Information you provide when you contact us for support, feedback, or sales inquiries.

B. Information Collected Automatically

  • Usage Data: We collect information on how you interact with our website and documentation to improve our tools. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, and pages visited.
  • Cookies: We use cookies to manage user sessions (e.g., keeping you logged in) and for anonymous analytics to understand website performance.

C. User Content (Geospatial Data)

  • Client-Side Processing: Geoman is primarily a client-side library. When you use the library in your own application, the geospatial data (GeoJSON) typically remains within your application’s environment and browser. We do not have access to this data unless you explicitly send it to us.
  • Cloud Services: If you use our hosted demo tools or specific cloud-saving features, we process and store the data you explicitly upload or save.

4. How We Use Your Information

We process your data for the following purposes:

  1. Service Provision: To provide access to Geoman Pro features, manage your license keys, and authenticate your account.
  2. Billing: To process payments and send invoices.
  3. Support: To respond to your technical requests, bug reports, and inquiries.
  4. Product Improvement: To analyze usage trends and improve the performance and stability of our libraries.
  5. Communication: To send you important updates regarding your subscription, security alerts, or changes to our terms.

5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

We rely on the following legal bases for processing your data:

  • Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary to fulfill our contract with you (e.g., providing the software license and features).
  • Legitimate Interests: For analytics, fraud prevention, product improvement, and network security.
  • Legal Obligation: To comply with tax, accounting, and other legal obligations in Norway.

6. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our business:

  • Payment Processors: Stripe (for handling payments safely).
  • Hosting & Infrastructure: Vercel (where our website and API are hosted).
  • Analytics: Umami (to understand website traffic).

These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and only use it for the specific services they provide to us.

7. International Data Transfers

If we transfer your personal data to service providers outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or adherence to adequacy decisions.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations (e.g., retaining payment records for accounting purposes). When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.

9. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right to Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to Rectification: You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Right to Erasure: You can request the deletion of your data ("Right to be forgotten"), subject to legal retention requirements.
  • Right to Restrict Processing: You can ask us to limit how we use your data.
  • Right to Data Portability: You can request to receive your data in a structured, commonly used format.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected].

10. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
