Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 16, 2026

1. Introduction

Square Berry LLC ("SquareBerry," "we," "us," or "our") operates the SquareBerry platform at squareberry.app. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use our website and services.

By accessing or using SquareBerry, you consent to the data practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password (hashed; we never store plaintext passwords). If you subscribe to a paid plan (Starter, Pro, Business), we collect billing information through our payment processor, Stripe. We do not store your full credit card number, CVV, or banking details on our servers.

Usage Data

We collect information about how you use SquareBerry, including parcel searches, analyses generated, scout configurations, reports generated, and feature interactions. This data helps us improve the platform and enforce plan limits.

Technical Data

We automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited. We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain your session and improve your experience.

Geolocation Data

If you use our map-based features, we may collect approximate geolocation data derived from your IP address or browser settings. We do not collect precise GPS location unless you explicitly grant permission.

3. Legal Bases for Processing

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, we process your personal data under the following legal bases as defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

  • Contract performance: Processing necessary to provide you the Service you subscribed to, including account management, billing, and delivering parcel analyses and reports.
  • Legitimate interests: Improving the platform, preventing fraud, enforcing usage limits, and conducting aggregated analytics — where these interests do not override your fundamental rights.
  • Legal obligation: Complying with applicable laws, tax reporting requirements, and responding to lawful government requests.
  • Consent: Where required, we obtain your explicit consent before processing (e.g., optional marketing communications). You may withdraw consent at any time.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve SquareBerry's services
  • Process subscriptions and payments across all plans (Free, Starter, Pro, Business)
  • Enforce plan-specific usage limits (parcel searches, reports, scouts)
  • Send transactional emails (account confirmations, password resets, billing receipts)
  • Respond to your support requests and communicate service updates
  • Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and security issues
  • Analyze aggregate usage patterns to improve the platform (never sold to third parties)
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for targeted advertising. We do not share your data with data brokers.

5. Data Sharing and Third-Party Services

We share your information only with the following categories of service providers, and only as necessary to operate SquareBerry:

  • Authentication & database: Supabase (user authentication, database hosting)
  • Hosting & deployment: Vercel (application hosting and CDN)
  • Payment processing: Stripe (subscription billing — Stripe is PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant and handles all credit card data directly; card details never touch our servers)
  • Mapping & geospatial: Mapbox (interactive maps and geocoding)
  • Land data providers: Third-party parcel, zoning, and property data providers used to deliver land intelligence features
  • Analytics: We may use analytics tools to understand aggregate usage patterns — never to track individual behavior for advertising

Each third-party provider is contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify. We may also disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

SquareBerry uses the following types of cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: Required for authentication, session management, and security. These cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
  • Functional cookies: Remember your preferences (e.g., map view settings, UI preferences).
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand aggregate usage patterns. These do not identify individual users for advertising purposes.

We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies. You can configure your browser to refuse non-essential cookies, but some features of the platform may not function properly without them.

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including:

  • All connections encrypted via TLS/HTTPS
  • Passwords hashed using bcrypt (never stored in plaintext)
  • Role-based access controls on backend APIs
  • Stripe PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance for payment data
  • Supabase Row Level Security (RLS) for database access
  • Regular security reviews and dependency updates

No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. Specifically:

  • Account data: Retained while your account is active. Deleted or anonymized within 30 days of account deletion.
  • Usage logs: Retained for up to 12 months for analytics and abuse prevention, then aggregated or deleted.
  • Payment records: Retained as required by tax and financial regulations (typically 7 years for IRS compliance).
  • Support communications: Retained for up to 24 months after resolution.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Regardless of your location, you may:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your account and personal data
  • Export a portable copy of your data

10. International Data Transfers

SquareBerry is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer. Where required by GDPR, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved mechanisms to lawfully transfer data.

11. Children's Privacy

SquareBerry is not directed at individuals under the age of 18 and is intended solely for use by adults in real estate development and investment. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we become aware that we have collected information from a minor, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

12. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers send "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. Because there is no industry-standard interpretation of DNT signals, SquareBerry does not currently respond to them. However, we do not engage in cross-site tracking or targeted advertising.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or the features of our Service. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through a prominent notice on the platform at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of SquareBerry after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
