Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 31, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the Sacramento Vacancy Fee project collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our map application at map.vacancyfee.org.

1. Information We Collect

• Location Data: If you grant location permissions, we collect your device's location to center the map and display nearby commercial properties.
• User Contributions: Information you voluntarily provide if you submit reports, stories, or endorsements through the application.
• Usage Data: Standard analytics (e.g., IP address, browser type, interaction with the map) to help us improve the tool.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data strictly to operate and improve the map application, and to support the Vacancy Fee project's goal of identifying underutilized properties in Sacramento. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

3. Third-Party Services

Our map relies on a third-party mapping provider, Google Maps. This service may collect information directly from your browser or device in accordance with their own privacy policies.
