About

This is MapMyMaps, the platform of the UrbanMetaMapping project.

Unfortunately the difficult copyright situation regarding historic maps hinders us to openly publish all maps we have, sorry about that. So you have to be part of the team and need an account to access most of the maps. Sorry about that.

Session Data

The platform only collects information necessary to use it. It may set a so called session cookie in your browser that holds e.g. your search parameters to provide a smooth search or your decision regarding OpenStreetMap tiles (see below).

This data is not sent to a third party, there is no analytics etc. running.

OpenStreetMap

To display the historic maps on top of a background map your browser will fetch map tiles from the OSM server. This means you will connect directly to the OSM server(s). See the OSM privacy policy for details.

The platform only stores information you actively provide. This includes your user data as well as anything you actively edit (maps, map descriptions and other metadata etc). So please do not provide anything you do not want to be saved.

We will not share your user data with third parties.
