What this site is
Indiana Building Permits republishes public building-plan-review records from the Indiana Department of Homeland Security, along with map coordinates we generate from each project's address. The underlying permit data (owner names, addresses, project details, and similar) is public record -- it is not information we collect about you as a visitor.
Information we collect from visitors
This site collects a limited amount of information about the people who visit it:
- Basic usage analytics. We use Vercel Web Analytics to see how many people visit which pages. It does not use cookies and does not track you across other websites.
- Contact form submissions. If you use the "Contact / Feedback" button, we collect whatever you enter -- your email address, an optional name, and your message -- solely to respond to you. Submissions are sent by email via Resend and are not used for any other purpose or shared with anyone else. The form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, a captcha-style check that processes some technical browser information to confirm you're not an automated script; we don't see or store that information ourselves.
- Basic request data. Like most websites, our infrastructure temporarily processes IP addresses to keep the site running smoothly and to limit automated abuse (for example, scripts attempting to bulk-download data). This is handled by Upstash and is not linked to any other information about you.

Third-party services used by this site
We rely on the following outside services to run the site. Each has its own privacy policy:
Your choices
You can use most of this site without providing any personal information at all -- browsing and searching permit records doesn't require it. Personal information is only collected if you choose to submit the contact form. California residents and residents of other states with similar laws may have additional rights regarding personal information; the cookie opt-out links above are the most direct way to limit ad-related data use. If you have questions about your options, use the "Contact / Feedback" button on any page.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site changes. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update.
