Holler

Privacy

What Holler collects, and what it does not.

Holler is a bulletin board for neighborhood businesses to post short updates to people nearby. The simplest way to describe our privacy stance is: we are not interested in tracking you.

If you are a visitor.

We do not track you. There are no analytics scripts, no cookies set on first visit, no third-party tracking pixels, no ad network integrations.

When you grant location access, your coordinates are used in memory to filter the feed to businesses near you. They are not logged, not sent to any third party, and not retained beyond the life of the request.

If you do not grant location, we show a default neighborhood feed (Fishtown, during the pilot). Nothing about you is stored either way.

If you are a business with a claimed spot.

We store your email address, business name, business address, and verification state. We use these to let you sign in via magic link and to connect you to your listing in the Neighborhood Commons.

The hollers you post are public. They go into the Neighborhood Commons, an open CC BY 4.0 dataset at api.neighborhood-commons.org. They are meant to be seen and reused by other neighborhood apps.

We will never sell or share your business account data. If you ask us to delete your account, we delete it.

What we do not do.

  • We do not track individual visitors across pages or sessions.
  • We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers or data brokers.
  • We do not use your data to train models unrelated to running Holler.
  • We do not run third-party analytics, heatmaps, or fingerprinting.
