Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 7, 2026

MGuide is a free campus map for the University of Michigan. This policy covers what happens when you use it.

Analytics

We collect anonymous, aggregate usage data to see which pages get visited and what devices people use. None of this is tied to you personally. We don't collect names, emails, or anything that could identify individual visitors.

Location

If you tap the locate button (the blue dot), your position is used locally on your device to show where you are on the map and calculate walking directions. Your location is never sent to our servers.

What we don't do

Local storage

Your preferences (dark mode, favorites, class schedule) are saved in your browser's local storage. This stays on your device. Clear it anytime in your browser settings.

External services

Map tiles, weather data, and walking directions come from third-party APIs. These services may log basic request data (like IP addresses) per their own policies.

Offline mode

MGuide caches map data on your device so it works without an internet connection. No data is sent during offline use.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page. Questions: [email protected].
