Privacy Policy

The short version

• We collect what you type into our forms — your name, contact details, and information about your property — so we can answer you and evaluate the land.
• We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers or use it for cross-site advertising.
• We use no advertising or tracking cookies. Our visitor statistics are cookieless and reported only in aggregate.
• Fonts and icons are served from our own domain, so browsing this site does not report your visit to a third-party CDN.
• You can ask us to access, correct, or delete your information at any time by emailing contact@datacenterreadyland.com.

Who we are

DataCenterReadyLand.com is operated by Data Center Ready Land (“we”, “us”, “our”). This policy explains what we collect when you visit this site or contact us through it, why we collect it, who else sees it, and what you can ask us to do about it.

We market land-development opportunities to landowners, and we work with a partner company that operates the platform behind the forms on this site. When you submit a form here, your information is stored in our partner's system and their team may follow up with you. Wherever that affects your information, this policy says so rather than leaving it implied.

Questions about anything below: contact@datacenterreadyland.com.

Information you give us

When you fill in a contact or land-inquiry form on this site, we receive and store what you entered. Depending on which form you use, that is:

• About you — first and last name, email address, and phone number.
• About the property — address, state, county, ZIP code, and acreage.
• If you are inquiring as a developer or company — organization name, the power you need in megawatts, your timeline, and any message you write.
• Your contact preference — whether you checked the box agreeing to be contacted about your inquiry.

Only the fields marked required are necessary; anything else is optional, and leaving it blank does not stop us from replying. Please don't send us sensitive information — financial account numbers, government identifiers, or health information — through these forms. We don't need it and don't ask for it.

Your land assessment answers

This site offers a free self-assessment: a short set of multiple-choice questions about your property. When you finish it, we store your answers, the resulting score, and — if you chose the option that looks up your address on the map — the address you entered, its approximate coordinates, its state, county, and ZIP code, and the distance from it to the nearest electrical substation.

You can take the assessment without telling us who you are. When you do, the result is stored on its own, with no name, email address, or phone number attached. If you then submit a contact form, we link the two so we can discuss your result with you.

The grid map on this site

This site embeds an interactive map of the electric transmission grid, served from our own application. The map itself is drawn with Mapbox GL JS, software provided by Mapbox, Inc., which means that when the map loads:

• Mapbox receives your IP address and information about your browser, and records that a map was displayed. Mapbox stores an identifier in your browser's local storage to count map usage for billing.
• If you search an address on the map, that address is sent to Mapbox's geocoding service to be converted into coordinates.

Mapbox handles that data under its own privacy policy, at mapbox.com/legal/privacy. The address you type into the map is never stored by us — we receive it only if you submit it as part of a form or assessment.

We do keep a record that a search happened, in a deliberately coarse form, so we can see which parts of the country draw interest. For each search on the map we store the state and county it resolved to, an approximate location rounded to roughly a kilometre, whether it matched a full street address or only a ZIP or city area, and the distance to the nearest substation we measured. We do not store the address itself, and we store no identifier for you alongside it — no IP address, no cookie, no visitor or session id — so those records cannot be tied back to you, or to each other.

Information collected automatically

Two things happen without you entering anything:

• Server logs. Like every web server, the one delivering this site — our partner's, described below — records the requests it serves: your IP address, the page requested, the time, your browser and operating system, and the page that referred you. These logs keep the site running and are used to investigate errors and abuse. They are discarded on a rolling basis.
• Visitor statistics. We count page views using Umami, an open-source analytics tool running on our partner's own servers rather than on an advertising network's. It records the page you viewed, the site that referred you, your screen size, your browser, your operating system, your language, and a country derived from your IP address. It does not store your IP address, does not set cookies, does not create a profile of you, and cannot follow you to other websites. No advertising network, data broker, or anyone beyond us and our partner receives it.

Cookies and similar technologies

This site sets no advertising cookies, no analytics cookies, and no cross-site tracking technology of any kind. We run no advertising pixels and belong to no ad networks.

The one thing stored in your browser is the identifier the embedded Mapbox map keeps in local storage to count map usage, described above. Clearing your browser's site data removes it.

How we use your information

• To reply to you, including the confirmation email we send after you submit a form.
• To evaluate whether your property may suit data center, energy, or related infrastructure development, and to discuss those options with you.
• To introduce you to developers or partners when you have asked us to, or when you have agreed to be contacted about your inquiry.
• To keep records of our own inquiries and correspondence.
• To understand which pages people find useful, in aggregate, and to fix and improve the site.
• To protect the site against abuse, and to comply with the law.

We do not use your information to make automated decisions about you, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles.

Who else sees your information

We do not sell your personal information, we have never sold it, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share it only in these situations:

• Our platform partner, the company whose platform runs this site's forms, assessment, embedded map, email, and visitor statistics. What you submit is stored in their database, their team reviews it and may contact you about your inquiry, and they send the confirmation email. They handle your information for the purposes described in this policy and not for their own advertising. If you want to know who they are, email contact@datacenterreadyland.com and we will tell you.
• The service providers that platform runs on — Fly.io for hosting and the database, Amazon Web Services (Simple Email Service) for delivering email, and Mapbox for the map described above. They may process your information only to provide those services.
• Developers and partners, when connecting you with them is what you asked us for, or when you agreed to be contacted about your inquiry. We tell you who we are introducing you to.
• Professional advisers — for example our lawyers or accountants — where they need it to advise us.
• When the law requires it, or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or to protect someone's safety.
• A successor, if our business or the relevant part of it is sold or reorganized. This policy continues to apply to information transferred that way unless we tell you otherwise.

Emails and calls from us

When you submit a form, you receive a confirmation email from contact@datacenterreadyland.com. If you checked the box agreeing to be contacted, we or our partner may also email or call you about your inquiry and about land opportunities relevant to it.

You can stop that at any time: reply to any of our emails asking us to stop, use the unsubscribe link where one is offered, tell us on a call, or email contact@datacenterreadyland.com. We will still send you anything you specifically ask for, and we may need to contact you about a matter already underway between us.

How long we keep it

We keep the information you submit for as long as we are working with you on your inquiry, and afterward for as long as we need it for the recordkeeping, tax, and legal purposes described above — then we delete it or strip it of anything identifying. Server logs and aggregate visitor statistics are kept for far shorter periods. If you ask us to delete your information, see below.

How we protect it

The site is served over HTTPS, form submissions are transmitted encrypted, and the database that stores them is not reachable from the public internet. Access is limited to the people on our team who need it, and administrative access requires an individual account. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security — but we do not keep information we have no use for, which is the most reliable protection there is.

Your choices and your rights

Whoever you are and wherever you live, you can email contact@datacenterreadyland.com and ask us to:

• tell you what information about you we hold, and give you a copy;
• correct it, if it is wrong;
• delete it; or
• stop contacting you.

We will respond within 45 days. We may need to confirm your identity first, and we may keep information we are legally required to keep — if so we will tell you which and why. Exercising any of these rights costs nothing and we will not treat you differently for it.

If you live in California, the CCPA gives you the rights above along with the right to know the categories of information we collect, the sources we collect it from, our purposes, and the categories of third parties we disclose it to — all set out in the sections above. We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, so there is no sale or sharing for you to opt out of. You may use an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. Residents of other states with comparable privacy laws have equivalent rights, and the same address reaches us.

Children

This site is meant for adults making decisions about property. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has sent us information, email contact@datacenterreadyland.com and we will delete it.

Where we operate

We are based in the United States, this site is intended for people and property in the United States, and the information we collect is stored and processed there. If you access the site from outside the United States, be aware that US privacy law differs from the law where you live.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle your information, we will update this page and move the date at the top. Meaningful changes will be described here rather than made quietly. The version in effect when you submitted information is the one that governed it.

Contact us

For anything in this policy — a question, a correction, a request to see or delete your information, or a complaint — email contact@datacenterreadyland.com and a person will read it.
