Data Protection & Transparency
Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 25, 2026 · Effective Date: October 25, 2026
1. Privacy-First Design
At PrintableBlankMaps (https://printableblankmaps.com), we respect the privacy of educators, students, parents, and designers. Our interactive map customizer generates PDF, PNG, and SVG files directly inside your web browser—you do not need to create an account or submit personal student information to customize and print maps.
2. Information We Collect
- Local Browser Storage: We use standard browser
localStorageandsessionStoragesolely to remember your Pro license activation status and preserve your in-progress map customization settings during checkout redirects. - Purchase & Billing Information: When you purchase a Pro pack, your checkout is processed securely by our Merchant of Record, Creem (creem.io). Creem collects your email address (to deliver your receipt and license key) and payment details. PrintableBlankMaps never sees, processes, or stores your credit card number or banking credentials.
- Anonymous Usage Analytics: We use Google Analytics to measure aggregate, anonymized page views and export format popularity so we can improve our map templates.
3. How We Use Information
We use the limited information collected strictly to:
- Deliver your digital map downloads and verify Pro license keys;
- Provide customer support, receipt recovery, and refund assistance;
- Maintain website performance, security, and cartographic rendering quality.
4. Data Sharing & Third-Party Processors
We never sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We rely only on trusted infrastructure providers necessary to run our service:
- Creem (Merchant of Record): Processes payments, tax compliance, and digital order receipts.
- Vercel: Provides global web hosting and edge delivery.
- Google Analytics: Provides anonymized website traffic metrics.
5. Children's Privacy (COPPA & Classroom Use)
Our free printable maps are safe for classroom use and do not require students to register, log in, or enter any personal data. All purchases of Pro teacher bundles are intended to be completed by adults (teachers, parents, school administrators, or professional designers).
6. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR / CCPA)
