Information Collection & Use

Collection and Use of Images

Our application, Mapanes, is a directory of local businesses designed to facilitate connections between businesses and consumers looking for local deals. As part of our service, we allow businesses to register on Mapanes and upload images, such as logos and photos representing their business, to better communicate their brand and offerings to users.

How Images Are Collected:

Registered businesses on Mapanes have the option to upload images through our platform. These images may include, but are not limited to, company logos and photos of premises, products, or services offered.
Businesses are responsible for ensuring they have the necessary rights to the images they upload and that they comply with applicable copyright and privacy laws.

Use of Images:

The images uploaded by businesses are displayed on the Mapanes platform to inform users about local businesses and to help them discover services and products. These images provide users with a visual overview of the businesses and contribute to their decision-making process.
We do not share uploaded images with third parties without the explicit consent of the concerned business, except as required by law or to comply with specific legal requirements.

Businesses' Rights Over Their Images:

Businesses have full control over the images they upload to Mapanes. They can add, modify, or delete their images at any time through their user account.
We are committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights and ensuring that changes are reflected promptly on our platform.

By using Mapanes, businesses acknowledge that they have the right to upload the provided images and they give their consent for these images to be used in accordance with our privacy policy. Mapanes users have access to the images as part of their search for information on local businesses.

We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of the images uploaded to Mapanes and to complying with applicable data protection and copyright laws.
