:: RadiaMaps - F.A.Q. (Frequently Accessed Queries) ::

Data current as of: March 29, 2025

❓ General Intel

Q: What is RadiaMaps?

A: RadiaMaps is a crowdsourced, cyberpunk-themed global radiation map ☢️. Data Agents (like you!) upload readings from devices like RadiaCode, and the system processes this data to display aggregated radiation levels across the Grid (the map).

Q: How accurate is the map data?

A: The map displays aggregated data from user uploads. Accuracy depends on the quality, density, and calibration of the source data provided by users. It's a visualization tool, not a substitute for official safety assessments. Always consult official sources for safety-critical information⚠️.

👤 User Accounts & Features

Q: Are User Accounts available?

A: Access credentials subsystem status: OFFLINE (Coming Soon!). We are actively developing a user account system. This will allow Data Agents to manage their uploads, track personal statistics, and control sharing settings.

Q: Why are some features missing or limited? (e.g., viewing specific user paths)

A: System Directive: Maximum Privacy 🔒. In this current version (pre-accounts), many features that would involve viewing potentially identifiable user data (like exact, individual travel paths linked to a source file) are intentionally unavailable. Our priority is protecting user privacy until robust account management and sharing controls are deployed. Feature implants are pending the account system activation.

Q: When accounts arrive, can I see my own detailed reports?

A: Affirmative. The user account system is designed to give you access to your own uploaded data streams and detailed readings. You'll be able to review your contributions to the Grid.

Q: Will I be able to control sharing of my individual readings?

A: Core Protocol: User Control. Yes. When accounts are activated, Data Agents will have granular control over whether their *individual* reading points (specific location + time + reading) are shared publicly or kept private to their account. This is to maximize individual privacy choices.

Q: If I choose *not* to share my individual reports later, is my data still used?

A: Affirmative, for aggregation 📊. All valid, uploaded data is *always* used (anonymously) to calculate the *aggregated average* dose information displayed in the map's hexagons. Your sharing settings (once available) will control the visibility of your *specific, individual data points*, not whether your data contributes anonymously to the overall map averages.

💬 Comms, Bug Reports & Feature Requests ✨

Q: Where is the best place to ask questions, report bugs, or request features?

A: The primary communication hub is our Discord server! Join the other Data Agents, connect with the devs, report system anomalies (bugs) 🐛, and submit requests for feature implants (feature requests).

🔒 Privacy & Data Usage

Q: Is my uploaded data private? How is it used?

A: Please review our Privacy Policy for full details. Key points: We do not sell your personal data or raw uploads. All valid uploaded data contributes anonymously to the public aggregated map hexagons 🗺️. Once user accounts are implemented, you will control the sharing settings for your *individual* data points.
