Microsoft MapPoint Web Service
Mapping features on Microsoft's sites and services are based in part on the Microsoft MapPoint Web Service. The MapPoint Web Service is a set of mapping and related services that is accessed through an application such as a Web site, desktop software, or mobile application. When you submit information, such as an address to be viewed on a map, to the application, that application passes it to the MapPoint Web Service for processing.
We keep track of all requests the application you are using makes to the MapPoint Web Service. Location-related information in the request or derived from the request, such as latitude and longitude, is used for calculating payments to our data vendors so that we may operate the service. We will occasionally capture all information in the request for use in testing and maintenance of the service. This information includes the date and time of the request and location-related information you may have provided to the application such as latitude and longitude, address, place name, or the start and end address of a route.
