Map Sprint · Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 November 2026 · Türkçe · Support

Map Sprint is an orienteering game played on real city maps, developed by Osman Aşkın (Bora Labs). There are no accounts and no analytics of our own. The app does not use GPS or your location: you play with a virtual runner. It does not access your contacts, photos, camera or microphone.

What stays on your device

Your settings, best times, stars, progress and run history are stored only on your device. They are not sent to us and are removed when you delete the app.

City maps

The maps of the starting cities are included in the app. The map (and, for cities added later, the street data) of every other city is downloaded once from the Bora Labs server (boralabs.app) the first time you play it, and is then kept on your device. At launch the app also fetches the list of new cities from the same server. These downloads contain no personal data, and nothing is downloaded while you run. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), via Protomaps.

Challenge links

When you challenge a friend, the challenge is stored on the Bora Labs server (Cloudflare) for 90 days so that the link can be short: the name you entered, the course, your time and your route on it. Anyone with the link can open it. Nothing else is stored, and the challenge is deleted automatically after 90 days. If you never share a challenge, nothing is sent.

Suggest your city

If you use this optional form, what you type (city, district, country, an optional email address for a reply and an optional note), together with the app language and version, is sent to the Bora Labs server, which emails it to the developer. It is used only to answer you and to plan new cities, and is never shared or sold.

Purchases

Map Sprint Pro, the city packs and the style pack are bought through the App Store or Google Play, which handle the payment. The app only checks on your device what was bought; we never see your payment details.

Optional ads (Google AdMob)

You can choose to watch a short video ad to try a locked city once, to double the stars of a run, or to see your position for 10 seconds during a run when you have no free GPS left. Ads appear only when you ask for them, and never for Map Sprint Pro players. They are provided by Google AdMob, which may collect device identifiers (such as the advertising identifier), your approximate location derived from your IP address, how you interact with the ad, and diagnostic data, in order to show and measure ads. On iPhone and iPad, ads are personalized only if you allow tracking when asked (App Tracking Transparency); you can change this at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google asks for your consent before the first ad (Google’s consent form); you can change or withdraw it at any time with Ad privacy options at the bottom of the app’s home screen.

Apple and Google

Download and crash statistics from the App Store and Google Play are processed by Apple and Google under their own policies and reach us only as anonymous totals.

Children

Map Sprint is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children; the optional ads follow Google's policies for the age settings of the device.

Your rights (GDPR, KVKK)

Apart from shared challenges and city suggestions you send, we hold no data about you. To have a challenge or a suggestion deleted earlier, or for any privacy question, write to us at the address below.

Changes

If this policy changes, this page is updated and the date above changes.
