BuddyMapping is a free service which allows users to create map-based "guestbooks."

Map Creation:
An email address is required to create a map. To ensure that the map and its creator are valid, a message is sent to the email address provided and must be confirmed before the map appears on the site. Personal information is collected on the site solely for the purpose of map validation and guestbooking.

Map Guestbook:
When leaving a guestbook entry, a visitor is required to provide a name and address. The address may be in the form of 'City, State', or may simply be a zip code. The name and address are not validated and may be fictional if the visitor so chooses.

Other information may be requested as established by the map's creator, but is not required. Any information that is provided, including optional email addresses and usernames, is used for display purposes only. Clicking a visitor's marker on a Buddy Map opens an overlay with the information they entered.

No information collected on the BuddyMapping site will be shared with a third party. Visitors who provide their email addresses as part of a guestbook entry will never recieve email from the BuddyMapping service. Map creators will recieve the initial confirmation email and may recieve a small number of emails as the service develops to notify them of changes.
