Privacy

Last updated November 11, 2026

PlaceDossier is operated by Buretto Technologies Inc., a British Columbia company. It has no accounts and sets no cookies. We collect as little as we can:

  • Searches: the address you type is sent to the Province of British Columbia's address service to find the place. We don't keep a log of who searched for what.
  • Shortlist and checklist ticks: kept in your own browser's storage, never sent to us. Clearing your browser's site data removes them.
  • Visit statistics: Cloudflare Web Analytics counts page views without cookies or tracking you across sites.
  • Shared links and badges: a link made with Share, or a badge on another site, ends in ?sent= and who it was for (a realtor, say). We count how many people arrive by such links, once a day each, using a scrambled code made from the IP address and that day's date, which can't be turned back into the address or matched to another day. We keep the counts 31 days, and never which page or report was shared.
  • Links from AI assistants: when an assistant such as ChatGPT links here with a tag naming itself (utm_source=chatgpt.com, say), we count the arrival the same way, once a day per visitor with the same scrambled code, kept 31 days. With it we keep the kind of page it landed on (a place's report, a town's page, a question by its name) and the assistant, never which place's report or the full address of the page.
  • Error reports: if a page breaks, Sentry receives the error and basic browser details so we can fix it.
  • Server logs: Cloudflare, which hosts the site, processes IP addresses to deliver pages and block abuse, and keeps short-lived logs.
  • Email: if you write to us, we keep the conversation in Google Workspace to reply.

Processors: Cloudflare (hosting, analytics), Sentry (errors), Google Workspace (email). We don't sell or share personal information. Questions or requests: hello@placedossier.com.
