SmartStreet is operated by an individual based in the United Kingdom. For the purposes of UK GDPR, that operator is the data controller.

We only collect data that's necessary to provide the service.
If you create an account:
You can browse the app and analyse areas without creating an account. Account data is only collected if you choose to sign in.
When you tap Save on an area:
This list is tied to your account so you can see it on any device you sign in with.
For the avoidance of doubt, SmartStreet does not collect:
Our backend records standard request logs (timestamp, route, response code, anonymised IP truncated to network level) for security monitoring and abuse prevention. These are kept for 30 days, then deleted automatically.
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account authentication, security notifications | Performance of contract | |
| Password hash | Account authentication | Performance of contract |
| Saved areas | Provide your bookmark list across devices | Performance of contract |
| Request logs | Security, abuse prevention, debugging | Legitimate interest |
We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or advertising.
All data is stored in the United Kingdom and European Economic Area on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure in the eu-west-2 (London) region.
Our authentication provider (AWS Cognito) operates the same region. We do not transfer your personal data outside the UK / EEA.
We do not share your personal data with advertisers, marketing partners, data brokers, or anyone else, except where legally required (e.g. a valid court order).
To compute area scores, our server (not your device) fetches data from these UK public sources:
| Source | What it provides | Licence |
|---|---|---|
| postcodes.io | Postcode → coordinates lookup | OGL |
| data.police.uk | Crime statistics | OGL v3.0 |
| Food Standards Agency | Restaurant hygiene ratings | OGL |
| Office for National Statistics | Income, deprivation indices | OGL |
| Department for Education (GIAS) | Schools data | OGL |
| Land Registry | House price data | OGL |
| Environment Agency | Flood risk data | OGL |
These sources receive only the postcode you queried — no email, no account ID, no IP from your device. Scoring is per-postcode, not per-user.
SmartStreet's iOS app does not use:

SmartStreet is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has created an account, email us and we'll delete it.
No system is 100% secure. If a breach occurs that affects your data, we will notify you within 72 hours as required by UK GDPR.
If we materially change how we handle your data, we will: update this policy with a new "Last updated" date, show you a notice in the app on next launch, and where required by law, ask for your consent before the change takes effect.
