Privacy and data responsibility
This page explains what data the app may store, how contact messages are handled, and what responsibility you keep for protecting your own work.
Important
Story Map Builder is a planning aid, not a guaranteed storage or backup service. Keep separate copies of important product planning work.
No account required
Story Map Builder is designed to be usable without creating an account. Do not enter sensitive, confidential, regulated, or business-critical data unless you are comfortable managing that risk yourself.
Local data and browser storage
Story map content, preferences, and workspace state may be stored in your browser so the app can remember your work between sessions. Browser storage can be cleared by you, your browser, operating system cleanup tools, extensions, or device policies.
Vercel Analytics and hosting
The site may use Vercel Web Analytics, Vercel Speed Insights, and operational hosting logs to understand basic usage, page performance, errors, and abuse prevention. These tools are not intended to collect the contents of your story maps.
Contact messages
If you use the contact form, the name, email address, and message you submit are sent to the site owner for the purpose of responding to you. Do not include passwords, secrets, or sensitive project information in the form.
Data responsibility
You are responsible for keeping your own backups or exports of any important work. Story Map Builder is provided as-is, and no responsibility or liability is accepted for lost, deleted, corrupted, unavailable, or unrecoverable data, whether caused by browser storage changes, software errors, service interruptions, device issues, or user action.
Changes
This page may be updated as the product changes. Continued use of the site after an update means the updated terms apply from that point forward.
