Privacy policy

Anonymous by design

What Neighbors Paid has no accounts, no sign-ups, and collects no names, email addresses, or profiles. You can read and contribute prices without ever telling us who you are.

What we do process

• Submissions and votes: to prevent spam, we compute a one-way salted hash from your IP address and browser signature. The hash cannot be reversed into your IP, is never displayed, and is used only for rate limiting and preventing duplicate votes. Raw IP addresses are never stored.
• Price reports: the service, amount, currency, date, zip/postal code, and optional provider name you enter. None of this identifies you.
• Analytics: privacy-respecting, cookieless page analytics (aggregate counts only).

What we don’t do

• No advertising trackers, no cross-site cookies.
• No selling of personal data. We don’t have any to sell.
• No author identities from public posts: we keep the post text, source link, and community name only, never usernames.

Data from public sources

Some prices are gathered from publicly posted forum content, always labeled as such and linked to their source. We periodically re-check sources and purge content that has been deleted at the source. If you authored a public post we’ve referenced and want it removed, delete the original post or contact us with the link.
