Privacy draft

Your email updates stay yours.

Lots in Common uses your email only for the property and TCAD-area updates you request and the messages needed to confirm or manage them.

01 · Information we keep

Only what the update service needs.

We keep the email address you confirm and the public property records or TCAD areas you choose to follow. We also keep the times needed to confirm and operate those requests, the version of the consent language you saw, email-delivery status such as a bounce or complaint, and limited technical records used to prevent abuse.

Following a property does not mean you own, occupy, represent, or have any other relationship to it. We do not ask for your name, phone number, owner information, or a reason for following.

02 · How we use it

Requested information, not marketing.

We use this information to confirm your email, send a combined update when something you follow materially changes, let you manage what you follow, prevent misuse, and act on delivery failures or spam complaints.

We do not use the list for advertising, fundraising, surveys, data enrichment, or unrelated announcements. We do not sell or rent it. Update emails do not use tracking pixels or rewritten click-tracking links.

03 · Services that help

Limited providers operate the service.

Lots in Common stores subscriber information on its DigitalOcean-hosted service. Postmark delivers confirmation, management, and update emails. These providers receive only the information needed for hosting or delivery.

Subscriber information stays separate from the public property-data files and is not sent to general website analytics.

04 · How long we keep it

Inactive records are removed on a schedule.

  • Unconfirmed requests are removed after seven days.
  • Used or expired confirmation and management-link records are removed after 30 days.
  • Active email and follow information is kept while the requested updates remain active.
  • After all updates stop, subscriber information is removed after 30 days, except for the smallest record needed to honor a bounce, complaint, or other required suppression.

05 · Your choices

You can remove one update or stop everything.

Use Your updates to remove an individual property or area. Every update email also includes a way to stop all email updates without a password.

Before launch, this section will name the monitored contact for access, deletion, correction, and privacy questions. Until that contact is approved, the email program must not launch.

Draft requirement: add the owner-approved privacy contact before removing this page’s review label.
