Land in Seconds is a land screening tool. This page explains, in plain language, exactly what happens to information when you use it. It is short because the app does very little with your data.
The short version. We run no analytics and we do not sell anything about you to anyone. The one outside tracker on the site is the Meta Pixel, which tells Facebook and Instagram whether our ads led to a visit, a new account or a check, and never gets the address you search, your results or your email (section 6). You need an account to run a check, so we do hold your email address, the checks you run and the lots you save. You can delete all of it yourself, from inside the app, at any time.
When you search, the address or coordinates you enter are sent to the public map services listed below so they can answer the question. That is the whole purpose of the search. Those queries go straight from your browser to those services rather than through us.
We do keep two records of our own. A check record, holding the county and state the lot is in, whether the check succeeded and the time it ran, which is how we tell whether the tool is working and which counties people actually use. That record does not contain the address or the coordinates. And a copy of the check itself described in section 2.
Saved in your browser and nowhere else: your appearance choice (light or dark) and whether you have already seen the introduction. We cannot see either.
Checked today is painted from your browser so it appears instantly, but a copy of each check is also saved to your account, so a lot you ran on the laptop is there when you open the app on your phone. That copy holds the address, the coordinates and the results. The on screen list clears at midnight; the copy in your account does not.
Saved lots are the ones you pressed Save on. They are kept until you remove them.
You can delete any of it from inside the app, and deleting your account removes all of it at once.
To answer a check, your coordinates are sent to the following public services. Each has its own privacy practices, which we do not control.
| Service | Run by | What it answers |
|---|---|---|
| National Flood Hazard Layer | FEMA | Flood zone and base flood elevation |
| National Wetlands Inventory | US Fish & Wildlife Service | Mapped wetlands |
| Soil Data Access | USDA | Soil series and drainage |
| 3DEP Elevation | USGS | Elevation and slope |
| County and state GIS | Florida counties, Florida DOR | Parcel, owner, zoning, utilities |
| Nominatim, Photon | OpenStreetMap community, Komoot | Turning an address into coordinates |
| Zippopotam | Zippopotam.us | Turning a ZIP code into a city name |
| Map imagery | Esri, OpenStreetMap | The satellite and street basemaps |
These are the same public records a title company or an engineer would pull. Owner names and mailing addresses shown in the app come from county property appraiser records, which are public records under Florida law. We do not add to them, and we do not compile them into any list of our own.
The share image the app produces carries the address and the verdicts. It never includes the owner's name or mailing address. That is a deliberate choice, so a check passed around in a group chat cannot become a distribution channel for someone's personal details.
A shared link works the same way. When you copy a link to a lot, the readings and the address go on a public page and the owner's name never does. If you type your own name and phone into the box before copying, those appear on that page so the landowner knows who contacted them. That is yours to add or leave blank, it is never taken from your account, and the whole link, contact details included, is deleted 30 days after you make it.
The site is served as static files by our hosting provider, which like every web host records ordinary server logs such as IP address, browser type and the page requested. We use those only to keep the site up and to spot abuse.
Accounts, saved lots and check records are stored with Supabase, which hosts the database and handles sign in on our behalf. They process that data for us and do not use it for anything of their own.
We advertise Land in Seconds on Facebook and Instagram. To know whether those ads work, the home page, the app and shared lot pages load the Meta Pixel, a small script from Meta Platforms. It tells Meta only three things: that a page on this site was opened, that a new account was created, and that a check was run. Meta uses that to show our ads to people more likely to find the tool useful and to tell us how many visits and sign ups the ads produced.
What the Pixel never gets from us: the address or coordinates you search, the results, the lots you save, owner records, or your email. We have switched off the Pixel's automatic form and button scanning, so it does not read what you type.
Like any page that loads a script from Meta, your browser also sends Meta its IP
address and browser details, and the Pixel keeps a cookie called _fbp on
this site so Meta can tell visits apart. If you are signed in to Facebook or Instagram in
the same browser, Meta can link the visit to your account under
its own privacy policy. So that a
new account is counted once, the app also notes in your browser that it has already
told Meta. To limit this, change your ad preferences in Facebook or Instagram, or use a
browser or extension that blocks trackers. The app works the same either way.
Accounts and paid subscriptions are live. What we collect and what we do not:
This is a tool for people buying and evaluating land. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.
Deleting your account from inside the app erases your email address, your checks and your saved lots. You do not have to ask us. If you would rather have a copy of what we hold, or want us to erase it for you, write to the address in section 12 and we will do it within 30 days.
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will change the date at the top and tell account holders directly.
