This Privacy Policy explains how Digital Infrastructure and ERT Investment LLC (“Pusula Maps,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collect, use, process, disclose, retain, and protect information when you use the Pusula Maps mobile application, related websites, features, products, and services collectively referred to as the “Services.”
By using Pusula Maps, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Our Privacy Approach
Pusula Maps is designed to collect and process only information reasonably necessary for mapping, navigation, search, safety, personalization, and service improvement. We do not sell precise location information. We do not use precise location information for targeted advertising.
2. Information We May Process
The information involved depends on the features you choose, the permissions you grant, and whether a task can be completed on your device.
2.1 Location Information
Navigation can process precise or approximate location, direction, origins and destinations, routes, progress, estimated arrival time, nearby context, and background location while active navigation requires it.
2.2 Searches, Routes, and Saved Places
We may process search queries, voice requests, routes, recent destinations, Home and Work locations, favorites, and travel preferences. Some of this information may remain on your device.
2.3 Voice and Microphone Information
Voice features may send speech for transcription to Apple or another provider, depending on the feature and device settings. Pusula Maps does not continuously record your microphone.
2.4 AI-Assisted Features
AI features may process prompts, destination or search context, preferences, limited location context, and generated responses. Do not submit confidential or highly sensitive information. AI output may be incomplete or inaccurate and should be checked before you rely on it.
2.5 Community Reports
A community report may include the incident type, approximate location, time, comments, and signals used to prevent abuse. Reports shown to others are intended to be aggregated or non-identifying.
2.6 Device, Diagnostic, and Usage Information
We may process device and operating-system details, app version, region, interactions, performance, crashes, logs, network details, and pseudonymous identifiers to operate and improve the Services.
2.7 Information You Provide to Us
This includes information you submit through beta access, support, contact, feedback, saved-place, report, or other voluntary features.
3. How We Use Information
We use information to provide maps, routing, traffic, parking, place search, personalization, CarPlay, voice and AI features, community reports, support, security, abuse prevention, service improvement, and legal compliance.
4. Information Sharing
We may share information with service providers that help operate the Services, related companies including Digital Infrastructure and ERT Investment LLC, or when a legal, safety, or business-transition need requires it. We do not authorize service providers to use information for unrelated purposes.
4.1 Service Providers
Providers may support mapping, routing, traffic, places, geocoding, parking, weather, speech, AI, analytics, hosting, email, support, and crash reporting.
4.2 Related Companies
Information may be processed within Digital Infrastructure and ERT Investment LLC to operate, secure, and support Pusula Maps.
4.3 Legal and Safety Disclosures
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect people, investigate abuse, enforce agreements, or defend legal rights.
4.4 Business Transactions
Information may be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, subject to applicable law.
5. Data Retention
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, security, legal obligations, and dispute resolution. Information stored locally may remain until you delete it or uninstall the app.
6. Your Privacy Choices
You can manage precise and background location, microphone access, saved places, history, personalization, optional analytics, and certain AI features through app or device settings.
7. Privacy Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, receive, restrict, object to, or withdraw consent for processing, opt out of certain uses, or appeal a decision. Contact us to make a request.
8. Security
We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect information. No method of storage or transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
9. International Processing
Information may be processed in the United States and other countries whose data-protection rules may differ from those where you live.
10. Children’s Privacy
The Services are not directed to children under 13, or a higher minimum age where local law requires it, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
11. Third-Party Services and Links
Third-party services have their own terms and privacy practices. Review those practices before using linked or integrated services.

We may update this policy as the Services or legal requirements change. The effective date above identifies the latest published version.
