Bland Productions LLC ("Company," "we," "us," "our") operates Bland Maps ("Service"), a web-based mapping and navigation platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and safeguard your information when you access or use the Service. By using the Service, you consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the Service.
When you grant permission through your browser or device, we collect your geographic location data to provide location-based features such as showing your position on the map, calculating routes from your current location, and finding nearby points of interest. Location data is collected only when you actively use the Service and have granted location permission. You can revoke location permission at any time through your browser or device settings. If you do not grant location permission, you can still use the Service by manually entering locations.
We collect the search queries you enter (such as addresses, place names, and business searches) and route requests you make (including origin, destination, waypoints, and selected travel mode). This data is used to provide search results and directions, improve the Service, and analyze usage patterns.
If you interact with business listings on the Service — such as viewing business details, clicking on phone numbers or websites, submitting reviews, or adding new business listings — we collect information about those interactions.
We automatically collect certain technical information when you access the Service, including: device type and model, operating system and version, browser type and version, screen resolution, preferred language, and unique device identifiers where available.
We collect your Internet Protocol (IP) address when you access the Service. Your IP address may be used to estimate your general geographic location (city/region level), prevent abuse, and analyze usage patterns.
We collect information about how you interact with the Service, including: pages and features accessed, map tiles and layers viewed (street, satellite, terrain), zoom levels, map areas browsed, time spent on the Service, referring and exit URLs, click data, and timestamps of access.

The Service is operated from the United States of America. If you are accessing the Service from outside the United States, please be aware that your information will be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country of residence.

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time.
