What we collect

ZIP searches: when you search a ZIP code, we use that ZIP to generate a public-data report. We do not ask for your street address, account, name, or payment information for a ZIP search.

Contact form: if you contact us, we collect the name, email address, and message you choose to send, plus the CAPTCHA response needed to reduce spam.

Analytics: when Google Analytics is configured, we receive aggregate information about site usage, such as pages viewed, device/browser details, approximate location, and referral source.

Technical logs: like most websites, our hosting provider may process basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages requested, and timestamps.

What we do not do

We do not sell personal information.

We do not build personal profiles from ZIP searches.

We do not ask for your exact address to generate a report.

We do not treat a ZIP search as proof that you personally live there.

Cookies and similar technology

The ZIP-search experience does not require an account, street address, or payment information.

We may use Google Analytics to understand traffic and improve the site. Google Analytics may set cookies or use similar technology to measure visits and usage patterns.

The contact page uses Google reCAPTCHA when configured. Google may set cookies or use existing Google cookies to determine whether the form is being used by a human.

Your browser, our hosting provider, or third-party services may also use technical storage that is necessary to deliver the site, prevent abuse, or keep the form working.

If we later add a paywall, free-search limits, saved reports, or email preferences, we will update this policy before relying on additional cookies or similar storage for those features.

Third-party services

EmailJS: we use EmailJS to send contact form messages. The information you put in the contact form is sent through EmailJS so we can receive it.

Google reCAPTCHA: we use reCAPTCHA on the contact form to fight spam and automated submissions.

Google Analytics: we use Google Analytics to understand how people find and use the site.

Hosting provider: the site is intended to run on Vercel. Vercel may process technical logs and request data needed to host and protect the site.

Public data sources: reports are built from public datasets such as FEMA, OpenFEMA, and US Census data. Those datasets are not personal information we collected from you.

How we use information

To generate ZIP-code risk reports.

To respond to contact messages, corrections, suggestions, and concerns.

To keep the site working, secure, fast, and less spammy.

To improve the project and decide which public-data sources to add next.

Your choices

You can use the ZIP search without giving us your name or email.

You can avoid the contact form if you do not want to send us contact information.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser, though reCAPTCHA or other parts of the contact form may stop working.

If you want us to review a contact message you sent, reach out through the contact page with enough information for us to identify it.

Children

This site is not designed for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes

This policy will change as the project grows. If we add accounts, payments, email subscriptions, saved reports, or stricter search limits, this page should be updated to explain what changed.
