Security of Personal Content 

mapanno.com is a public 'unsecured' website that cannot fully protect the privacy of the content you author. Whilst author content is not made readily available on the site and lengths have been taken to protect author content it is possible for individuals to intercept data transfers to and from this website. For this reason mapanno is not a suitable application to author content that contains confidential information or content that is intended for strictly private consumption.

Storage of Personal Content 

mapanno.com is not a 'long term' storage solution for authors content. The intended use is for authors to 'create' and then publish content using their own resources. Dormant accounts with data associated with them will be frozen and eventually removed from the website.

Some parts of mapanno are dependant on third party images services which are offered with 'uncertainty', as such the mapanno service may also become inoperable without notice.

mapanno reserve the right to remove content and accounts containing authored content that conflicts with the mapanno terms of use, infringes the copyright or intellectual property of a third party, or is illegal (UK law), libelous, obscene or offensive.
