This notice covers the public preview of the Bozmaps Platform. The site is run by Bozmaps, the UK business of Semir Kahrimanovic. You can contact us about anything in this notice at semir@bozmaps.com.
What We Handle and Why
You don't need an account, and the site sets no cookies. We only handle what you type or upload:
- Places you search for (a postcode, an address, a place name or an area you draw). We use them to look up the public data you asked for.
- Questions you type into Ask Bozmaps or the plain-English property search. We use them to work out which checks to run and to write the answer.
- Address lists you upload for portfolio screening. We use them to run the checks you asked for and send the results back to your browser.
- Enquiries you send through the contact form: your name, email address, company and message, and any sites you list. We use them to reply and to run the checks you ask for.
- Visit counts. We count page visits with our own analytics (Umami), which sets no cookies and keeps no IP addresses or anything else that identifies you: only the page, the referring site, the browser type and the country.
Our lawful basis is legitimate interests: answering the request you made. Please don't type or upload anything about other people that you don't need to, such as names or contact details.
Who Else Receives It
- Vercel hosts the site. Like any web host, it sees your IP address and keeps short-lived technical logs.
- Anthropic provides the AI model behind Ask Bozmaps, the plain-English search and the written risk summary. Your question and the data needed to answer it are sent to Anthropic's API. Under its commercial terms, Anthropic does not use this data to train its models.
- Public data services receive the location you searched for, sent from our server, not from your browser: postcodes.io, the Environment Agency, data.police.uk, HM Land Registry, the EPC register, the Office for National Statistics and Nomis, Mapillary and OpenStreetMap's place search.
- Supabase (servers in Ireland) stores enquiries from the contact form, and Resend delivers each one to our inbox, which Google hosts. Our visit counts are stored in the same Supabase database.
- OpenFreeMap supplies the background map. Your browser loads the map tiles from it directly, so it sees your IP address.
Vercel, Anthropic, Resend and Google are based in the United States and may process data there under their own data processing terms, which include safeguards for international transfers.
How Long We Keep It
We don't keep a record of your searches, questions or uploads. We log the cost of each AI answer (the model, the amount of text and the price) without your question. Uploaded address lists are processed in memory and not stored. Enquiries are kept while we are talking about work with you, and deleted within two years of our last contact unless they become part of a contract.
Your Rights
You can ask us what personal data we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it, or to stop using it. Write to semir@bozmaps.com. If you're unhappy with how we handle your data, please tell us first. You can also complain to the Information Commission, the UK data protection regulator (formerly the Information Commissioner's Office).
