Privacy Policy

Who is responsible

smurphy.ai is operated by G Simon. Contact info@smurphy.ai about privacy, access, correction or deletion requests.

When you visit

The site does not provide visitor accounts, contact forms, mailing-list sign-ups or payment processing. We have not installed Google Analytics, AdSense, advertising pixels or social-media tracking widgets.

Netlify hosts the site. Delivering and protecting the website can involve technical information such as your IP address, requested URL, browser information and request time in hosting and security logs. This is separate from advertising or audience analytics.

The interactive experience

Particle animation and optional synthesized sound run on your device. Sound is off until you enable it. The home-page particle experience does not request microphone, camera or location access; the property map has separate optional field tools described below. Form, sound and motion selections are held in page memory rather than saved as a visitor profile. Fonts are served with the site.

Property map: local searches and storage

The property map downloads public Service New Brunswick / GeoNB parcel, address, assessment and recorded-transfer data. Searches and property comparisons run in the browser against the loaded package. Download requests and page visits still involve the hosting information described above.

Offline packages and saved imagery are kept in browser caches. Area/map preferences, saved-property references and recorded trails use browser storage; saved markers, notes, photos and imagery use on-device browser databases. The app does not automatically upload or synchronize personal field records to our server. Browser, operating-system or device-backup services may have their own storage practices.

Property map: optional location, photos and sharing

Location is requested when you choose a location or tracking control, or start a feature such as trail recording that needs it. Selecting a parcel or entering Walk property does not itself start GPS. Current position and accuracy support the map; positions are saved in observations or a trail when you choose those recording features. The optional compass uses device orientation, and the optional screen-awake control uses browser support.

Adding a photo uses the device photo/file chooser or camera option. Photos and observations remain in the browser database unless you export or share them. Exported backups can contain precise coordinates, notes and photos; trail exports contain recorded positions. Share controls pass the chosen property link, coordinates or text to your selected destination, or offer text for you to copy. We do not send those records automatically.

Property map: online services

With Live maps enabled, the viewed map extent is sent to GeoNB to request an online background. Street View opens Google near the selected property only when you press its button, including from offline-map mode; this sends the chosen property location to Google. These services receive normal connection information and apply their own privacy practices. Map/provider credit links also open external websites when followed.

Downloading a regional package or checking for updates requires internet. Live maps does not update the monthly assessment or sales records. Turning Live maps off avoids online background requests from the map; it does not prevent an explicit download, update, external-link or sharing action you choose.

Email correspondence

If you email info@smurphy.ai, we receive the information you choose to provide, including your email address. We use it to respond to your enquiry and handle the related request. We do not add correspondents to a marketing list or sell their contact information.

Correspondence is retained as needed to respond, maintain relevant business records or meet legal obligations. Hosting logs and service-provider backups have their own retention arrangements; we do not promise a fixed deletion period for those systems.

Service providers and external links

Our hosting and email providers process information needed to deliver their services and may process it outside Canada. Information may also be disclosed when required by law.

Links to community calendars, Netlify and other websites lead to independent services with their own policies. Following an email link uses your chosen email provider.

Your choices

You can browse without contacting us, leave home-page sound disabled, pause animation and use your browser’s privacy settings. In the map, you can leave Live maps off, decline or revoke location/camera permissions, and use downloaded packages without starting GPS. Removing a county download preserves personal field records. Export a backup before clearing site storage; clearing storage or browser eviction can remove offline packages and field records, and we cannot restore records that were never sent to us. Email info@smurphy.ai to request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information you provided. We may need enough information to verify and locate the request; do not send identity documents unless a secure arrangement has been agreed.

If we introduce analytics, advertising, forms or new data collection, we will update these disclosures and provide any required choices before enabling the service.
