Last updated: October 13, 2026

Welcome to Mapogo. We respect your privacy and are committed to handling information responsibly when you use the Mapogo mobile application and related services.

In summary: Mapogo helps users explore Batak genealogy, including lineages associated with Di Raja Batak and relationships between Batak clans (marga). We do not sell users' personal information.

1. About Mapogo

Mapogo is a mobile application designed to help users explore and understand Batak genealogy, ancestral lineages, family relationships, and information about Batak clans (marga), including genealogical traditions associated with Di Raja Batak.

This Privacy Policy applies to the Mapogo application and services directly associated with it.

2. Information We Handle

The information processed may depend on the features you use and how the application is configured.

2.1 Genealogical and Cultural Information

Mapogo may display genealogical or cultural information such as:

Names of ancestors and historical figures;
Family lineages and relationships between individuals;
Batak clan names (marga);
Historical, cultural, or explanatory information about Batak ancestry.

This information is used to provide the application's genealogy features. Genealogical information may relate to historical figures or living individuals. Users should exercise care when submitting or sharing information about identifiable living people.

2.2 Information You Provide

If the application allows you to contact the developer, submit feedback, or contribute genealogical records, information you choose to provide may be processed to handle your request or support that feature.

2.3 Technical and Device Information

When the application connects to online services, the application or its hosting providers may process technical information needed to deliver and secure the service, such as:

IP address and technical request logs;
Device type and operating system version;
Application version and diagnostic information;
Security, performance, or error information.

The exact information processed depends on the application's implementation and the services it uses.

3. How We Use Information

Information may be used, where applicable, to:

Display and navigate Batak genealogical lineages;
Provide information about ancestors, Di Raja Batak, and related marga;
Respond to questions, feedback, or support requests;
Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot the application;
Protect the application against misuse and security threats;
Improve reliability and comply with applicable legal obligations.

4. Data Storage and Hosting

Genealogical information may be retrieved from an online server or website and displayed in the application. Technical information may also be processed by hosting or infrastructure providers when the application accesses online content.

Storage and processing depend on the application's actual implementation. This policy should be updated if Mapogo introduces account registration, user-submitted records, or additional data processing features.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell users' personal information.

Information may be processed or disclosed when reasonably necessary to operate the application, provide a feature requested by a user, maintain security, or comply with applicable law. This may include:

Hosting, cloud, database, or infrastructure providers;
Technical support or security service providers, if used;
Authorities or other parties when disclosure is legally required.

Information will be shared only as appropriate for the relevant purpose and subject to applicable legal requirements.

6. Third-Party Services and External Links

Mapogo may rely on third-party hosting, notification, analytics, crash-reporting, or other services if these are implemented in the application. Those providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and service terms.

The application or related website may also link to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites. Please review their policies before providing information to them.

7. Data Security

Reasonable measures are used to help protect information handled by Mapogo against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of electronic storage or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was processed, to maintain security, or to meet applicable legal obligations.

If you have submitted personal information to the developer through a Mapogo feature or support request, you may contact us to request access, correction, or deletion, subject to applicable law and legitimate retention requirements.

Genealogical records: Requests to correct or remove genealogy information may require review, particularly where the information concerns historical records, cultural heritage, or other identifiable family members. We will consider such requests in a reasonable manner.

9. Children's Privacy

Mapogo provides genealogical and cultural information for a general audience. The application is not intended to knowingly collect personal information directly from children where appropriate authorization is required by applicable law.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information through a Mapogo feature inappropriately, please contact the developer so the matter can be reviewed.

10. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on applicable law and the information involved, you may be able to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information, or raise concerns about how it is processed.
