Terms of Use and Data Notice

This platform is a non-profit public-interest mapping project developed and maintained by Al-Marsad – Arab Human Rights Center in the Golan Heights.

It presents interactive maps, timelines, images, stories, and research-based geographic information for documentation, education, advocacy, journalism, and public awareness.

The platform may include historical place names, local geographic features, destroyed or occupied villages, water resources, roads, event locations, media, narrative story steps, and other documentation layers.

Some information is based on research, field documentation, archival material, community knowledge, partner sources, public sources, or interpretation of available evidence.

The platform is not an official cadastral, surveying, navigation, emergency, or legal-boundary system.

We work to keep the information careful and useful, but the platform may contain gaps, approximations, or later corrections.

Locations, boundaries, dates, descriptions, and classifications should be understood as documentation and research material, not as final legal determinations.

Do not rely on the platform as your only source for safety, navigation, legal claims, property matters, emergency response, or other high-stakes decisions.

Unless otherwise stated, original text, map compositions, interface design, story structure, and organization-created documentation are owned or controlled by Al-Marsad.

Some images, basemaps, satellite imagery, archival references, or credited materials may belong to third parties and remain subject to their own terms.

Mapbox basemaps and imagery are used as background context. Required attribution is displayed in the map interface, and Mapbox does not own or endorse Al-Marsad’s original data.

Small non-commercial references are generally allowed with attribution.

For reuse of datasets, map layers, images, exports, screenshots in publications, commercial use, institutional reuse, or any unclear use case, please contact us first.

Unless we give written permission, no license is granted for bulk extraction, redistribution, or commercial exploitation of platform data.

The public platform is designed to collect minimal information. We may process basic technical data needed to operate, secure, debug, and improve the service, such as request metadata, device/browser information, security signals, and privacy-friendly usage statistics if enabled.

We do not sell personal data, use targeted advertising, or intentionally track visitors across unrelated services.

Third-party services required to render maps or media may receive technical requests needed for those features and are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

We may update, correct, reorganize, add, remove, or temporarily disable content or features.

We may limit access when needed to protect the platform from abuse, excessive automated traffic, security risks, or misuse.

The platform is provided as-is and as-available, without warranties of uninterrupted access or complete accuracy.

We welcome corrections, additional documentation, and good-faith feedback.

Submitting feedback does not guarantee that a change will be made, but we may review and incorporate updates when appropriate.

These terms may be updated from time to time. The “Last updated” date will reflect the latest version.
