Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Cividian ("Cividian," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit our website, create an account, or use the Cividian platform (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

Plain-language summary. We collect the name, email, and phone number you give us, plus basic usage data, to run the platform and contact you about it. We do not sell your personal information. You can opt out of emails and texts at any time. Full detail is below.

Commercial marketplace and brokerage records

Brokerage applications and professional license profiles are stored with your existing Cividian organization. Draft listings and publication submissions are visible to authorized organization members and the verified platform owner; approved, current listings display brokerage names, legal names, license jurisdictions and numbers, listing agent names and license details, office contact information, property facts, and supplied photographs publicly. Listing and photo changes return inventory to draft. Suspension, withdrawal, expiration, or loss of an approved listing-agent membership removes public visibility.

Property photographs are resized, JPEG metadata is stripped, and production photographs are stored in the operator-configured S3-compatible media service. Private photographs require organization access or platform review access. An inquiry shares your name, verified account email, optional phone number, and message with the listing brokerage only after explicit inquiry consent. Saved properties and saved searches remain with your account. Public page opens are aggregate activity counts, not unique visitor profiles. These records are not submitted for AI training by this feature.

Commercial organization records remain until the organization is deleted or the operator handles an authorized removal request. The brokerage inbox displays up to 500 recent inquiry records; review and search windows are bounded as described in the feature documentation. Account erasure removes a sole-owner brokerage's listings and associated media and inquiry records. An owner with other members must transfer ownership before deleting an account. Shared records may remain with the organization; an erased agent's assigned listings are withdrawn and the cached agent attribution is removed. Third-party copies and downloads follow their recipients' policies. Read the Commercial Listing Agreement for submission and contact-use terms.

1Who we are

Cividian is operated by Owen Crabbe, doing business as Cividian, based in the State of Indiana, which is responsible for the personal information described in this policy.

Cividian operates a city intelligence platform that aggregates property, demographic, economic, and public-investment data to help real estate developers, businesses, and public officials evaluate American cities. Cividian is based in the State of Indiana, United States. The Service is intended for business and professional users located in the United States. It is not directed to, and we do not knowingly offer it to, individuals in the European Union or European Economic Area. For any privacy question, contact us at contact@cividian.com.

2Information we collect

Information you provide

When you create an account, request full access, or contact us, we collect the information you submit, which may include your name, email address, phone number, company or organization, your stated role (for example developer, business, or public official), and the contents of messages you send us, including questions you ask the in-platform assistant.

If you join through joincividian.com and verify your phone, that Cividian signup service sends your name, email, stated role, city of interest, verified phone, age confirmation and separate verification and marketing SMS consent evidence to our account service at app.cividian.com. We keep the account record and enrollment receipt in our account stores. Phone verification does not verify your email or sign you in; you still verify your inbox through Cividian's sign-in flow. The signup service's privacy notice also describes its Google Sheets lead register.

If you request a Cividian walkthrough, we keep your name, work email, role, optional company and question, your permission to be contacted about that request, and registered campaign labels. The verified operator uses these details to arrange and track a response. Please do not include confidential property documents or sensitive details in the form. This request does not create an account or enroll you in marketing email.

If you publish a member concept, the concept text, its studio render, and the first name on your account are visible to other signed-in members, along with community activity on it (ratings, reviews, download and remix counts). That sharing happens only at your direction and is reversible at any time from where you published it. Reviews and ratings you leave on other members' concepts are shown with your first name.

Beta marketplace features collect what you enter to run them: listings you post (property address, terms, description, and an optional photo, which become visible to other users when you publish them; your email address is never shown on a listing, and buyer and seller contact is routed through the platform), saved search criteria and trade-area watches (used server-side to match new listings and send the notifications you chose, at the frequency you chose), and your onboarding answers (your selected role and tour progress, used to arrange your default view). If you create a listing API token, we store it to authenticate pushes from your systems; treat it like a password and rotate it in the app if it leaks.

If you use the in-app CRM board, we store what you enter there on your account record: the cities you are tracking and their pipeline stage, the contacts you record for each city (name, role, organization, and the contact details you choose to enter) with their outreach status and your notes on them, the parcels you flag with their acquisition status, and your ledger entries. This CRM store is your private workspace. It is not shared with other members, it is not published, and it is not used to score or enrich anything Cividian sells. Section 8 states its retention.

Civic reports (pilot cities)

In cities that have enrolled to receive them, you can file a civic report: a problem you saw, such as a pothole, a dark streetlight, or a blocked storefront. A report holds the category you chose, your description, the location (coordinates and, if you add it, a street address or landmark), the time you saw the problem, and the web address of one photo if you attach one. Reports are public. Anyone can read a city's reports and their status history, and the enrolled city's staff can read and export them. What is never published is who filed a report: we collect no name, email address, or phone number with a report, and the link between a report and your account is stored only as a salted one-way hash. City staff exports carry that hash and nothing else about you. Reports are what a person said they saw; they are labelled as user content wherever they appear and they are never used to score a city. For native uploads, your device creates a resized JPEG and removes source metadata. The server strips JPEG metadata again and stores the photo in the operator-configured object store. The report holds an unguessable public photo address. Remove personal detail visible in the image before attaching it: metadata removal does not blur faces or text.

Data collection map

This table lists each category of personal information the Service holds today, why it is collected, where it lives, how long it is kept, and which providers receive it. It describes the features in this release; features requiring an operator-configured service share data only after that service is enabled. Where a provider is marked "if enabled", the sharing happens only when the operator has configured that provider.

Record familyCollection and retention
civicCivic records, media references, device registrations, delivery and daily KPI records. Public report retention and account erasure are described in Section 8.
pago:acctPrivate account, credential or shared workspace records; retained and erased as Section 8 describes.
pago:assistantThe daily Cividian AI allowance is a count of answers for the current UTC day plus the random request identifiers of that day's questions, each marked as held (an answer is being prepared) or delivered (an answer started to reach you). It holds no question or answer text. For an account it is keyed by a one-way hash of the account; for a guest it is keyed by a keyed hash (HMAC) of the network address, so everyone sharing that address shares one guest allowance, a different address starts a new one, and a new guest session does not reset it. These records expire after two days, and the allowance resets at midnight UTC. Raw IP addresses are not saved in this family. Guests get 3 answers a day unless the operator sets a different number, including zero to turn guest answers off. Conversations, for signed-in accounts only, include recent questions and answers, resolved places, a building program, the latest user financial assumptions with supporting quotes, and source rows. They are scoped to the account hash and expire after one day. Guest questions and answers are not saved in any Cividian conversation, history or project store. Saved chats from the app home (your questions and the answer cards exactly as they were shown) are stored separately under the same account hash so you can reopen them from any device; reopening a saved chat sends nothing to a model, and the chats stay until you remove them or delete the account. Each account can keep up to 200 saved chats and each chat up to 60 turns; Cividian never deletes an older chat to make room, and tells you on screen when a limit stops a chat from being saved. Guest sessions have no saved chats. Aggregated repair and figure-removal counters hold no conversation text. Research context is sent to the Nemotron models on Nebius Token Factory to produce an answer, for guests and accounts alike.

Information collected automatically

When you use the Service, we and our providers automatically collect certain technical and usage data, which may include your IP address, device and browser type, pages and cities viewed, search queries entered, referring pages, and the dates and times of your visits. We use this to operate, secure, and improve the Service.

Information from third parties

The property, parcel, demographic, and economic information displayed in the Service is sourced from third parties and public records (described in Section 7). This is information about places and properties, not personal information you provide to us.

3How we use information

4Email and SMS communications

When you create an account, we send the messages needed to run it, such as sign-in links and codes, security notices, billing receipts, and changes to our terms or this policy. We may also email you occasional product updates and other marketing messages, which you can stop at any time.

Email

You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any such email or by emailing us. We may still send you non-marketing messages necessary to operate your account.

Text messages (SMS)

Cividian does not currently send text messages. A phone number you give us is used only for the account purposes described in this policy. Before Cividian sends any text message you did not request, we will ask for your separate, express consent where you enter your number, tell you the expected message frequency and that message and data rates may apply, and let you stop at any time by replying STOP. Consent to texts will never be a condition of using the Service.

5Cookies and tracking technologies

We use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, understand how the Service is used, and improve performance. Some are necessary for the Service to function; others support analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling some may affect functionality. Where required, we honor recognized opt-out signals such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC).

6How we share information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only as described below:

Provider endpoint inventory

This reviewable inventory includes optional adapters and source links. Operator-configured webhooks, Redis, PostgreSQL, error monitoring and S3-compatible photo storage use deployment-specific hosts. The operator must name and review any enabled destination before activation; static checks cannot determine these hostnames. Vendor terms pages linked from operator status views (ai.google.dev, openai.com, fal.ai) are documentation links and are never called by the service.

United Kingdom sources and UK GDPR

Cividian's United Kingdom coverage is England only. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland use separate land registers, energy certificate registers and planning systems that the Service does not read, and it says so rather than returning an empty English result for an address in those countries.

Energy Performance Certificate records obtained from the MHCLG Get energy performance of buildings data service contain personal data relating to identifiable properties and, through them, to identifiable people. In processing that data Cividian acts as a data controller under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f): providing property and regeneration professionals with accurate building information that is already published on a public register, which we consider proportionate because the data is public, is used only to describe buildings rather than to profile individuals, and is not used for marketing. Address-level certificate data is available only to signed-in accounts and is withheld from anonymous visitors by the server, not hidden in the browser.

We do not display the home address of any company officer or person with significant control. The Service does not read the Companies House officer or persons-with-significant-control endpoints at all, and the registered office records it does read are reduced to a locality, region, postcode and country before they are stored.

Cividian derives an "absentee owner" signal only for corporate owners, from a registered office on a public register, and never for a named individual. It never states that a person is an absentee landlord, that a property is vacant, or that a VAT relief applies. Those outputs are presented as signals, confidence bands and evidence requirements, with the basis shown.

If you are in the United Kingdom you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability in respect of personal data we hold about you, and a right to object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests. Contact us at contact@cividian.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

8Data retention

Deletion is on request. Open Account security, sign in again if requested, and request an email confirmation code. Confirming the code disables account access immediately and queues erasure after a two-minute grace period for active requests. Keep the receipt until the page confirms completion. If an external service or a concurrent write prevents completion, the receipt reports that erasure needs a retry; it does not claim success. You may also contact contact@cividian.com in Section 14.

No inactivity-based account deletion schedule is implemented. Account details, the private CRM store (including contacts, parcels you flag and ledger entries), preferences, saved workspace data and credentials remain until deletion is requested. Erasure scans account-linked records in both account stores, removes credentials and uploaded report photos, and removes the account's relational records. Shared organization records retain other members' work; an owner must transfer ownership before deletion if other members remain. Apple-linked accounts must have a revocable Apple token, which may require signing in with Apple again.

Walkthrough requests are separate from account records. Their private lead records expire 24 months after the last request. The operator can export or delete a lead record for a privacy request; deleting it also removes its do-not-contact hash. Until then, an opt-out hash prevents later walkthrough confirmations and alerts for that address.

The shared operator audit keeps at most 200 recent administrative events. Account erasure removes events authored by the deleted account, including their action details, and redacts known account identifiers from remaining events. Other actors' events remain. Concurrent audit writes cause erasure to retry instead of overwriting those events.

Civic reports remain public with a deletion tombstone. The reporter link and attached photo link are removed. Known account identifiers in that account's report text are redacted. Account deletion cannot identify every piece of personal information typed into free text. To request removal of a report or additional text, contact us with its report ID. Public source records, aggregate counters, previously downloaded copies, provider logs and records retained under a legal obligation are outside automated account erasure.

Sign-in links and enrollment records expire after 15 minutes; deletion codes after 10 minutes. Completed erasure receipts expire after one day. An opaque, one-way hash remains to prevent deleted credentials from regaining access. Failed erasure jobs retain an encrypted identity anchor until erasure is completed by retry or support. Personalization uses at most 40 city selections from the last 30 days; older selections are excluded, and switching it off clears them. Device registrations become ineligible for delivery after 90 days without renewal and are pruned when used or updated. Your device keeps its offline report queue until you remove the app; account erasure does not reach device files. Hosting and third-party providers apply their own retention settings.

9Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential.

10Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, and to opt out of certain processing. To exercise any right, email us at contact@cividian.com. We will verify your request and respond as required by applicable law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

Residents of states with comprehensive consumer privacy laws, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, Oregon, Texas, and Virginia, can use the same process to exercise the rights their state law provides. We respond within 45 days, and we will tell you if we need up to 45 more.

Appeals

If we decline to act on your request, we will explain why. You may appeal by replying to our decision with the subject “Privacy appeal” within 45 days. We will answer the appeal in writing within 60 days and explain the result. If we deny your appeal, you may contact the attorney general of your state.

11California disclosures

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), gives you the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use and share it, to request deletion or correction, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell personal information for money. We have collected the categories of information described in Section 2 (identifiers, commercial information, and internet activity) for the purposes described in Section 3. To exercise your rights, contact us using the details in Section 14. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf.

12Children's privacy

The Service is intended for business and professional use by adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18, and you must be at least 18 to use the Service. If you believe a minor has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

13Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above, and material changes may be communicated through the Service. Your continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.

Cividian iPhone and iPad app

The native app lets you research city and housing fundamentals without creating an account. City searches, city-centre coordinates and basic request information reach Cividian and our hosting provider to retrieve readings and protect the service. Rate-limit records include the requesting IP address and expire with their short rate-limit window; hosting and operational logs are subject to the provider retention settings. City observations are stored as public geographic readings, without an app account.

Apple Maps supplies maps and place search. If you choose “Find my city,” the app requests location only while in use and asks Apple to resolve the city. Cividian receives the resolved city and its centre, not a background location trail. You may deny location and search by name instead. When filing a civic report, the exact pin or searched street address you select is sent to Cividian and published with the report; that report location is distinct from a city-centre research request. Apple processes its services under its own privacy policy.

Up to 12 recent places are stored on your device. Clear them in Settings → Clear recent places. City readings are fetched on demand and are not saved for offline use. Reports awaiting submission and their prepared photos are saved in a protected file on your device and retried when connected. An API credential you add is held in Keychain. Notification permission is requested after a report is confirmed; if you consent, Cividian stores your APNs token against an opaque account hash and sends only a report ID and status through Apple. This app version includes no purchases, advertising SDK, cross-app tracking or generative AI requests. The optional connected-parcel client is disabled in the App Store configuration; if enabled in a future version, its data use and permissions will be disclosed before distribution.

For native-app support or privacy requests, email contact@cividian.com. Include the app version and a description of the problem, and do not send passwords or API keys.
