Privacy policy

Short version: Your submission is anonymous. We aggregate it with thousands of others to build neighbourhood benchmarks. We never share your name, email, address, or individual rent. Individual data is never sold.

What we do not collect

• Name, email address, phone number, or home address
• IP address or device identifier
• Account credentials (no account exists for renters)
• Cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking
• Any information that could identify you individually

What we collect when you submit rent data

When you submit your rent, we store:

• Neighbourhood
• Unit type (for example, 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom)
• Monthly rent amount
• Year you moved in
• Whether rent includes parking
• Whether rent includes utilities
• City (Ottawa, Toronto, or Vancouver)
• Timestamp of submission

None of these fields can identify you. There is no way to trace a submission back to a person.

How submitted data is used

Your submission is combined with thousands of others and with public market data (CMHC, Rentals.ca) to produce neighbourhood-level rent benchmarks. Individual submissions are never displayed publicly and never sold.

Spam prevention

To keep the data clean, the form includes a hidden field that automated bots tend to fill in. Submissions that fill it are dropped. This check runs on our server and does not require any tracking on your device.

Third-party services

We use Supabase to store rent submissions. Data is stored on Supabase servers in accordance with their privacy policy. We do not share data with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for marketing.

We do not use Google Fonts or any third-party font service. Fonts are loaded from your operating system.

Data retention

Rent submissions are kept for benchmark calculations. Submissions older than two years are excluded from active estimates but may remain in the database.
