Privacy policy
DOB Scan is a service of J Seal Group LLC. This page says what we collect, what we do with it, and what we never do. Effective November 11, 2026.
What we collect
- Alert subscriptions: the email addresses - and, for text alerts, the mobile numbers - of board members and managers who opted in, together with the building addresses they monitor.
- Free building check: the email address and building address submitted on the /lookup page, when a visitor asks for a full report.
- Messages you send us: emails to contact@dobscan.com and replies to our alerts.
- Technical logs: our hosting provider processes basic request data (such as IP address and browser type) to operate and secure this website.
Building violation and complaint data itself comes from NYC Open Data and is public record; it is not personal information.
How we use it
- To send the violation and complaint alerts, weekly digests and building reports the subscription covers.
- To send the confirmation and alerts described on our text alerts page to opted-in mobile numbers.
- To answer questions and provide the service.
That is the whole list. We do not use contact information for advertising, and we do not build marketing profiles.
What we never do
- We do not sell personal information.
- Mobile phone numbers and text-alert opt-in records are never shared with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.
- We share contact information only with the providers that run this service - email delivery (Resend), text delivery (Twilio) and hosting (Cloudflare) - and only as needed to deliver it.
Your choices
- Text alerts: reply STOP to end them at any time; reply HELP for help.
- Email alerts: write to contact@dobscan.com and we remove your address.
- You may ask us at any time what contact information we hold for you, and ask us to delete it. We keep subscription records while a subscription is active and delete them on request.
