Privacy Policy

myPiAtlas is an independent Point of Interest (POI) submission and discovery application built on the Pi Network ecosystem. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Pi Network or SocialChain.

Data controller / operator contact: jpmveneracion@gmail.com or @jpx3m on Pi Network.

• Pi account data: your Pi username and Pi uid when you log in with Pi.
• Wallet address: the public wallet address you connect, used for attribution and royalty distribution.
• Submissions: photos, descriptions, categories, and GPS location samples for POIs you submit.
• Payment records: identifiers and metadata of Pi payments you make in the App (tier purchases, NFT mints).
• Technical logs: IP address and user-agent string, recorded at login for security and abuse prevention.

• to authenticate you and attribute submissions to your account;
• to display submitted POIs publicly on the map;
• to prevent fraud, spam, spoofed submissions, and abuse;
• to process payments and compute royalty distributions;
• to keep the App secure and functioning.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not run advertising trackers.

POIs you submit are public by design. Submitted photos and their GPS coordinates are stored on public IPFS storage (via Pinata) and are visible to anyone. IPFS content is permanent by design: once distributed across the network, it cannot be reliably deleted.

Do not submit photos or locations that reveal private information you are not authorized to share — including private residences, private property, or identifiable people without their consent.

• Pi Network: authentication and payments. When you log in or pay, Pi Network processes your credentials and payment data under its own privacy policy.
• Pinata / IPFS: public storage of submitted photos.
• Esri (ArcGIS World Imagery): satellite map tiles. Your IP address is visible to Esri when map tiles are loaded.
• Hosting provider: infrastructure that runs the App and its database.

On-chain records (for example NFT mints on the Stellar/Soroban network) are public by nature and outside our control.

The App does not use advertising or analytics cookies. We use a session token (stored locally in your browser) solely to keep you logged in, and map libraries may use standard browser storage for technical functionality.

Subject to applicable law (including the Philippine Data Privacy Act, and for users in relevant regions, the GDPR or CCPA), you may request:

• access to the personal data we hold about you;
• correction of inaccurate data;
• deletion of your data — except content already made public on IPFS or on-chain, which cannot be retracted;
• objection to or restriction of processing.

To exercise any right, contact jpmveneracion@gmail.com or @jpx3m on Pi Network. We respond within a reasonable timeframe.

• Account and submission data are kept while your account and submissions are active, and as needed for royalty computation and record-keeping.
• Security logs (IP, user-agent) are kept for abuse investigation and then minimized.
• IPFS content and on-chain records are permanent and cannot be deleted by us.

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data — encrypted transport (HTTPS), access controls on the database, and verification of Pi payments server-side. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure; use the App at your own risk.

The App is not directed at children. You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction) to use it. If you believe a minor has provided us personal data, contact us and we will remove it where technically possible.

The App and its service providers may process data in countries other than yours, including the Philippines and the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the current version. Material changes will be communicated within the App where feasible.
