How We Handle Your Data

Your Data, Simply Explained

We wrote this page because privacy policies are hard to read. Here's the plain-English version of exactly what we collect, what we do with it, and what we promise never to do.

What We Collect

Only what we need to run the service. Nothing more.

Your account info

Name, email address, company name, job title. Used to create and manage your account.

Property addresses you search

The addresses you enter to generate zoning reports. Stored in your account history so you can re-access reports.

Your profession

Developer, investor, architect, planner — helps us tailor the product to your needs and prioritize the right features.

Billing info

Processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number — Stripe handles it securely.

We also collect basic technical data automatically — like your browser type, IP address, and how you navigate the app. This is standard for any website and helps us keep things running smoothly and securely.


What We Do With It

Three things. That's it.

1. Run your reports

When you enter a property address, we send the coordinates to government GIS systems and our AI analysis engine to generate your zoning feasibility report. Your address is used to get data from public sources — full stop.

2. Keep your account working

Your name and email let you log in, receive billing receipts, and get service updates (like when we expand to new cities). We send you emails when you ask for them — and only the ones you actually need.

3. Make the product better

We look at aggregated, anonymized patterns across our user base — like which cities get searched most — to decide where to expand coverage and which features to build next. This analysis never identifies you as an individual.


What We Don't Do

These are firm commitments, not hedges.


Tools We Use (And What They See)

We work with a small number of trusted vendors to run the platform. Here's who they are and what they can see:

Stripe — Payments
Processes your payment card securely. They see your billing details. We don't store your card number.
Anthropic Claude API — AI Analysis
Powers the AI analysis in your reports. Receives property coordinates and GIS data — not your name, email, or account info. Anthropic does not use API inputs to train its models by default.
Nominatim / Google Maps — Geocoding
Converts the address you type into geographic coordinates so we can look up the right data. Sees the address string only.
Cloudflare — Security & CDN
Sits between your browser and our servers to block attacks and speed up the site. Sees IP addresses and basic request data as part of its security function.
AWS / Google Cloud — Hosting
Our servers run here. All your data lives in the United States, encrypted at rest and in transit.

How to Delete Your Data

You're in control. Here's how to get your data out or delete it:

You can also email [email protected] for any privacy request and we'll respond within 30 days.


How We Keep Your Data Safe

The basics:

If there's ever a breach that affects your personal data, we'll tell you as quickly as legally required — and aim to notify within 45 days at most.

This page is the plain-English summary. For the complete legal details, read our full Privacy Policy.
