Effective 2026-07-01. This is the same Privacy Policy shown inside the Build Scotts Bluff app, published here as a standalone page.
Build Scotts Bluff (the "Service") is a free, independent public-data map of Scotts Bluff County, Nebraska, operated as a private civic project (the "Operator", "we", or "us"). It is not a government service. This policy explains the little data the Service handles and the choices you have.
The Service is designed to run without a live server and to keep your data on your own device. It uses no third-party analytics, advertising, cookies, or tracking beacons and does not build a profile of you. It does not knowingly collect personal information about you unless you choose to enter it.
Your Search Agent conversation, your acceptance of the Terms, and your app preferences are stored only in your own browser's local storage. They are never transmitted to us, and you can clear them at any time from your browser or the app's controls.
When you sign in as an editor or perform a server action, the server receives your public wallet address and a signed session token, any edits or ideas you save, and - for a contribution - the public transaction hash used to confirm it on-chain. Standard server logs may briefly record technical request data such as an IP address for security and reliability. We do not collect your name, email, precise location, or payment-card data unless you voluntarily type it into a field, and we retain saved content only as needed to operate the Service.
Build Scotts Bluff maintains a Facebook presence and registers with Meta as a developer application so that links to the Service display correctly on Facebook and its related products, and so authorized editors can sign in from the Facebook app. When you view or share a link to the Service on Facebook, or contact us through our Facebook page, that activity happens on Meta's platform and is governed by Meta's own privacy policy, which we do not control. The Service loads no Facebook software on its pages- no SDK, no pixel, no tracking.
The Service offers an optional "sign in with Facebook" step intended for the small set of authorized editors, useful where a crypto wallet is unavailable (such as inside the Facebook in-app browser). If you choose it, we receive from Facebook only your app-scoped user ID and your public profile name- never your email, friends list, posts, or anything else. The ID is used once, in the moment, to check whether your account is authorized; it is then discarded. We do not store your Facebook ID, name, or any other Facebook data on the server. If your account is authorized, the resulting session is the same short-lived signed cookie a wallet sign-in produces. If it is not, no session is created and nothing is retained. See the data deletion page for removal steps.
Blockchain addresses, balances, transactions, and any on-chain profile you set (such as a Basename or ENS name) are public by nature and are read directly from public networks and third-party providers. We do not control that data, did not create it, and cannot alter or delete it. Interacting with third-party wallet or DeFi providers is also subject to their own privacy practices, which we do not control.
We take reasonable measures to protect the limited data the server handles, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and you use the Service at your own risk. The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Because we hold so little, most of your data lives on your own device and under your own control, and you may clear it or stop using the Service at any time. To ask about your data or request deletion, see the data deletion page or contact the Operator at . This document is standard boilerplate for a free civic tool, is provided for transparency, and is not legal advice.
