GTA 6 Interactive MapPrivacy Policy
Last updated: November 12, 2026
Rare Thief LLC (“we”, “us”) operates the GTA 6 Interactive Map at maps.gta6.rarethief.com. This policy explains what information the map collects, why, and what control you have over it. Our other sites and apps, such as the Sea of Thieves Interactive Map, have their own policies.
The map is free to use and supported by advertising. We are not affiliated with Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive; Grand Theft Auto and GTA are trademarks of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.
The short version
- You can use the whole map without giving us anything. There are no accounts.
- The locations you mark as found, the categories you show and your settings are stored on your own device, not on our servers.
- Advertising on the map is provided by third parties who collect data about your device, as advertising on the open web generally does. Where the law gives you the choice, you can opt out: see Advertising.
- We use Google Analytics to understand, in general, how the map is used.
Information stored only on your device
The map remembers your choices: the locations you have marked as found, which categories you have switched off, your settings (such as Hide found and Keep screen on) and, on a computer, whether the side panel is open. This is kept in your browser’s local storage on your device. We never receive it, and it cannot be used to identify you. Clearing your browser’s data for this site removes it permanently.
Searching the map happens on your device: we do not receive what you type. Share uses your device’s own share menu, or copies the link, so we do not see who you send it to.
Advertising
Advertising on the map is served by Raptive (formerly AdThrive), together with its advertising partners and Google’s advertising systems, which use cookies and similar technologies. They may collect your IP address, information about your device and browser, the pages you view and your interactions with ads, and use it to show and measure ads and to prevent fraud. Raptive’s privacy policy explains how.
We do not sell personal information for money. Under some US state laws, though, letting advertising partners collect information for targeted advertising counts as “selling” or “sharing” it. Where that applies, a Do not sell or share my personal information link appears at the end of the map’s main panel, under About this map. It opens Raptive’s own privacy choices, where you can opt out.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser’s settings. You will still see ads, but they will be less tailored to you.
Analytics
The map uses Google Analytics to understand general usage: which pages are visited, roughly from where, and on what kind of device. It records each page’s address and title, which name a category or a location on the map, never anything you have typed or stored. Google Analytics uses cookies to tell visits apart. Our advertising partner Raptive can see these statistics for its reporting.
Google explains how it uses this information in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. You can opt out of Google Analytics on every site with Google’s browser add-on.
Other data we receive
Like any website, the map is delivered by services that process technical information when you connect: your IP address, device and browser type, and which pages and map images you requested. Amazon Web Services and Cloudflare use this to deliver the map, keep it working and protect it from abuse. We do not keep logs of these requests ourselves.
Who we share data with
| Service | What for | Their policy |
|---|---|---|
| Raptive | Advertising on the map, and reporting from the map’s Google Analytics | Policy |
| Google Analytics | Usage statistics | Policy |
| Amazon Web Services | Hosting the map | Policy |
| Cloudflare | Delivering the map | Policy |
How long we keep it
We keep nothing about you ourselves: the map has no accounts and no database. What the map stores on your device stays until you clear it. What Raptive, Google Analytics and our hosting providers receive is kept under their own policies.
Your rights
Depending on where you live you may have rights to access, correct, export or delete the personal information held about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. We hold no account or profile about you: what the map stores is on your own device, where you can delete it, and the services above hold the rest. Email us and we will help, usually within 30 days. Residents of the EEA, the UK and certain US states have specific rights under laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA; we honor requests under those laws regardless of where you live.
Why we use your information
Where laws such as the GDPR require a reason, ours are:
- To provide what you ask for: remembering, on your device, what you have found and your settings.
- Your consent: advertising, and analytics cookies, where the law requires your consent first. You can withdraw it at any time.
- Our legitimate interests: delivering the map, keeping it working and secure, and understanding general usage.
Where your information is kept
We are based in the United States, and the map is hosted there. If you use it from elsewhere, information about your visit is transferred to and processed in the United States. Our providers offer safeguards for such transfers, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
If you are in the EEA or the UK and are unhappy with how your information is handled, you can complain to your local data protection authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office). We would welcome the chance to put it right first.
Children
The map is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe we hold personal information about a child, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
The map is served only over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable measures to protect the site and its visitors.
Links to other sites
The map links to other websites, including our Sea of Thieves Interactive Map. We do not control other sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the map changes. The date at the top shows when it was last revised, and material changes will be noted here.
