1. The Core Invariant: Client-Side Processing

At MapUnpack (accessible via mapunpack.com), our foundational principle is absolute privacy. Unlike generic online file conversion services, MapUnpack is engineered to execute 100% of its decompression, reverse-engineering, coordinate transformation, and serialization routines locally inside your web browser’s memory (via Web Workers and WebAssembly/JavaScript).

Your geographic files (.kmb, .kmz, .kml), latitude and longitude coordinates, personal travel notes, and pin collections are never uploaded, streamed, or transmitted to any external server. Once you close your browser tab, all in-memory data is instantly and permanently cleared.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect or store your GPS locations, track coordinates, or placemark descriptions.
We do not require user registration, usernames, or passwords.
We do not create persistent tracking profiles or sell any behavioral data to data brokers.

3. Cookies and Web Analytics

MapUnpack does not use tracking cookies or invasive cross-site tracking scripts. We may utilize privacy-respecting, aggregated server analytics (such as Cloudflare Web Analytics) solely to measure total daily visitor counts, geographic country distributions, and HTTP response errors without storing IP addresses or tracking cookies.

4. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense)

To keep this liberation utility free for travelers worldwide, we may display third-party advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to our website or other websites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.

5. Third-Party Payment Processors

When purchasing optional batch conversion passes, financial transactions are handled securely by our Merchant of Record, Lemon Squeezy or PayPal. MapUnpack never sees, stores, or handles your credit card numbers, bank account numbers, or billing addresses. Payment processing is governed by Lemon Squeezy's respective privacy policy.

6. GDPR & CCPA Compliance

Because we do not store, ingest, or process your personal identifiable information (PII) on our servers, there is no database of user records to export, modify, or delete. Your data remains strictly on your local hardware at all times.
