Privacy Policy

This policy explains what [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] ("Land Prowler") collects, why, and who it's shared with.

What we collect

• Account: email, display name, password (stored only as a hash), terms acceptance and consent choices.
• Research activity: addresses and parcel numbers you look up, reports you request, answers you log from county calls, flags you raise.
• Payments: handled by Stripe. We receive a customer ID, what you bought and whether it was paid — never your card number.
• Technical: IP address and request logs, used for security and rate limiting.

Public-record data in reports

Reports combine government and public datasets (flood maps, wetlands, soils, parcel and assessor records). Parcel records can include an owner's name; we show it only inside the app and never on shared links.

How we use it

• To run the service: underwriting parcels, preparing reports, billing and support.
• County- or city-wide answers you log are reused for other users in that jurisdiction (see the Terms).
• If you opted in, anonymized facts may improve the service and aggregate data products.

Who we share with

• Service providers: Stripe (payments), hosting at DigitalOcean, [EMAIL PROVIDER].
• Public data services: we send parcel coordinates or parcel numbers — not your identity — to government data services to build a report.
• People you share a link with.
• Law enforcement when legally required.

We don't sell your personal information.

Retention and your choices

We keep account data while your account is open and [RETENTION PERIOD] after. You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, or withdraw reuse consent, at [CONTACT EMAIL]. [STATE-SPECIFIC RIGHTS, e.g. CCPA, IF APPLICABLE.]
