Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2, 2026

This policy explains what information MAPIANCE ("we," "us") may process when you visit mapiance.com, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

Information we collect

MAPIANCE does not offer user accounts or require visitors to register.

We may process a limited amount of information when you use the site:

First-party article analytics

To understand which articles are useful, MAPIANCE records article page views and estimates unique visitors per day.

For this first-party measurement, the server creates a one-day rotating cryptographic hash from limited request information. The raw IP address is not stored in our article analytics tables, the hash is not designed to identify you across days, and temporary deduplication keys are automatically deleted after a short retention period.

How we use this information

We use this information to operate and improve MAPIANCE, understand which guides are useful, respond to messages you send us, detect technical problems or abuse, and keep the site reliable and secure.

We do not sell your personal information.

Advertising and Google AdSense

MAPIANCE may use Google AdSense and other third-party advertising services to display advertisements.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on a visitor's previous visits to MAPIANCE or other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads to visitors based on their visits to MAPIANCE and/or other websites on the Internet.

Visitors may manage or opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings .

For more information about how Google uses information from websites and apps that use Google services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services .

If other third-party advertising vendors or ad networks are used on MAPIANCE, they may also use cookies or similar technologies according to their own privacy policies and applicable consent requirements.
