Parcels Data Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 2, 2026

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how General Welfare Systems, Inc. (“GWS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes personal information in connection with Parcels Data, parcelsdata.com, and the websites, applications, and services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”).

This Privacy Policy applies to information about website visitors, prospective and current business customers, account administrators and authorized users, people who communicate with us, and individuals whose professional, property, ownership, transaction, or contact information appears in the Parcels Data research dataset (“Dataset Individuals”).

This Privacy Policy does not apply to job applicants or workforce members, information processed solely on behalf of a customer under a separate agreement, or a third party’s privacy practices. Separate notices or agreements may apply in those circumstances. The Services are intended for business and professional use in the United States.

2. Personal Information We Collect

We collect personal information from several sources to provide, maintain, improve, and secure the Services. The categories of information we collect depend on how you interact with us, whether you are a customer or user of the Services, and whether your information appears within our research datasets.

A. Information you provide

When you create an account, communicate with us, request information, purchase services, or otherwise interact with the Services, you may provide personal information directly to us.

• Account and contact information, such as name, business email address, employer, title, account credentials, and account-administration information.
• Communications and support information, including messages, feedback, requests, and information shared during onboarding, support, sales, or other interactions. We may use note-taking or transcription tools for calls when appropriate notice or consent is provided.
• Payment and transaction information. Our third-party payment processor collects payment-card or bank information. We may receive billing contact details, transaction status, plan information, invoices, and limited payment metadata.
• User content, such as searches, prompts, notes, corrections, feedback, and, if enabled, files or datasets that a customer uploads.

B. Information collected automatically

Like most online services, we automatically collect certain technical and usage information when you access or use the Services. This information helps us operate the platform, maintain security, understand usage patterns, and improve performance.

• Device and network information, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and general location derived from IP address.
• Usage and activity information, such as pages viewed, searches performed, features used, records accessed, clicks, session information, timestamps, referring pages, and diagnostic or security logs.
• Cookies and similar technologies used to operate, secure, analyze, and improve the Services, as described in Section 6.

C. Information in our research datasets

We collect, license, obtain, combine, and derive information from government records, public records, publicly available internet sources, and our own research and analysis. Depending on availability and the applicable source, this information may include:

• Names and contact information, including mailing and office addresses and other publicly available contact information.
• Professional, employment, company, and affiliation information.
• Property and parcel information, transaction history, ownership and management information, zoning, tax assessments, flood-risk or similar property attributes, and other government or public-record information.
• Financial and transaction-related information, such as recorded loan details, loan amounts and maturities, taxes, transaction values, and similar information associated with properties or commercial transactions.
• Relationships among people, entities, properties, and transactions identified from those public sources through matching and research.
• Source, provenance, confidence, correction, suppression, and record-management information.

Some information may be incomplete, outdated, incorrect, or associated with the wrong person or entity. The Services are research tools and should not be treated as an authoritative source without independent verification.

D. Sensitive personal information

Certain categories of personal information are treated as “sensitive” under applicable state law. GWS collects account log-in credentials, which are sensitive personal information under the laws of certain states, to authenticate users and secure the Services.

GWS does not seek to collect, and does not intend the research dataset to include, precise geolocation; Social Security, driver’s license, state identification, or passport numbers; financial account numbers in combination with access credentials; racial or ethnic origin; religious or philosophical beliefs; union membership; health, sex life, or sexual orientation information; genetic or biometric data processed to identify an individual; citizenship or immigration status; or the contents of mail, email, or text messages where GWS is not the intended recipient. If information of this kind is identified in a source feed, GWS will suppress or remove it.

GWS does not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those permitted under applicable law without first providing the required notice and choice.

E. How long we keep each category

We keep each category of personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, as follows:

• Account, contact, and billing information: while the account is active, and afterward for as long as needed for tax, accounting, audit, and legal purposes.
• Communications and support information: for as long as needed to respond and to keep a record of the interaction.
• User content, including searches and prompts: for as long as needed to provide and improve the Services, subject to any customer agreement.
• Device, network, usage, and log information: for as long as needed for security, troubleshooting, and analytics, and longer where a security investigation or legal hold requires it.
• Research dataset information about Dataset Individuals: for as long as reasonably necessary to provide and maintain the Services, subject to applicable source restrictions and our correction, removal, and retention practices.
• Records of corrections, removal requests: for as long as reasonably necessary to document and honor those requests and prevent affected information from being reintroduced where required.

When a retention period ends, we securely delete, de-identify, or aggregate the information in accordance with applicable law.

3. Sources of Personal Information

We obtain personal information directly from individuals, from our customers and business partners, from public records and publicly available sources, and through our own research and analysis activities. The specific sources vary depending on the type of information at issue.

• You, your employer, account administrator, or other authorized users.
• Government agencies, public records, registries, filings, court or property records, and other official sources.
• Publicly available websites and internet sources.
• Data licensors and aggregators that compile government and other public records.
• Customers and users, through corrections and feedback they submit about records in the research dataset. We do not incorporate customer-provided files or datasets into the research dataset.
• Service providers that support hosting, security, analytics, authentication, payments, communications, AI functionality, or customer support.
• Our own research and matching of those public sources.

4. How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information to:

• provide and administer the Services, accounts, subscriptions, payments, and support;
• build, verify, update, and make available research about properties, transactions, entities, and associated individuals;
• operate and improve the Services, including AI-assisted features and the uses of searches, prompts, feedback, and outputs described in Section 7;
• communicate with customers and users, including sending service-related and, where permitted, promotional messages;
• secure the Services, detect misuse, and troubleshoot problems; and
• respond to requests and corrections, comply with law, enforce our agreements, and protect rights and safety.

5. How We Disclose Personal Information

We do not sell or rent our customers’ and users’ account, authentication, or subscription information, or their searches, prompts, and uploads, to advertisers or marketing companies for those companies’ own use. We disclose personal information as described below:

• Customers and authorized users. Subscribing business customers and their authorized users may access information in the Parcels Data research product for the purposes permitted by their agreements with us. Depending on the record and available sources, the information customers receive may include property and transaction information; the names, business affiliations, and mailing or office addresses of associated owners, managers, or principals, and other publicly available contact information; and relationships among owners, entities, and properties identified from those sources. A property’s location does not necessarily establish where an associated individual resides. Customers cannot access other customers’ account information or searches.
• Service providers. We disclose information to providers that support hosting, security, analytics, authentication, payments, communications, customer support, professional services, and AI-enabled features.
• Professional advisers and business partners. We may disclose information to attorneys, accountants, auditors, insurers, consultants, financing sources, and other advisers with a legitimate need for it.
• Authorities and legal recipients. We may disclose information when required or permitted by law or legal process, or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, security, or property.
• Corporate transaction recipients. Information may be disclosed in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar transaction, subject to appropriate safeguards.
• At your direction or with your consent. We may disclose information when you direct or authorize us to do so.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We do not use cookies or similar technologies for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising. We and our service providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels, software development kits, and similar technologies to keep users signed in, remember preferences, support functionality, maintain security, measure performance, understand usage, and improve the Services.

Cookie categories. We use strictly necessary cookies to operate and secure the Services and to keep users signed in; functional cookies to remember preferences; and analytics and performance cookies to understand how the Services are used and to improve them. We also use session-replay tools that record how users interact with the Services, such as clicks, scrolling, and page navigation, to diagnose problems and improve the Services. We use these tools only for our own internal purposes.

Your choices. Where available, you may manage non-essential cookies through our cookie preference center or consent management tool. You can also configure your browser to refuse or delete cookies, although portions of the Services may not function properly if you do. Where required by applicable law, we also recognize and process valid Global Privacy Control signals.

Do Not Track. Some browsers transmit a “Do Not Track” signal. Because no common industry standard for responding to that signal has been adopted, the Services do not currently respond to browser Do Not Track signals.

7. AI-Assisted Features

The Services may use artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automated research tools to assist with search, matching, enrichment, summarization, follow-up research, and generation of outputs. Automated outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or reflect uncertainty. Users must independently evaluate results before relying on them.

Model training. We may use searches, prompts, feedback, corrections, and generated outputs to evaluate, improve, train, and fine-tune GWS’s AI-assisted features and research tools and to develop new features and products.

Automated decision-making. The Services do not make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning any individual. Outputs are research aids only and are evaluated by the customer, who is responsible for any decision it makes.

8. Data Retention

Section 2.E describes how we determine how long to retain each category of personal information. Information in backups and archives may remain until those systems are updated or overwritten in the ordinary course, subject to applicable legal and contractual requirements.

9. Security

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including controls relating to encryption, logging and monitoring, endpoint security, and secure software development.

We limit access to personal information to personnel and service providers who need it to perform their functions, and we require our service providers to maintain safeguards appropriate to the information they process. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you reside and subject to applicable exceptions, you may have rights concerning personal information we maintain about you, including rights to request access to or confirmation of processing, correction, deletion, portability, or a list of certain recipients; to limit certain uses of sensitive data; and to appeal a decision on a request.

You may also ask us to suppress information from the Services or correct information you believe is inaccurate. This includes requests under New Jersey law to withhold a protected home address or unpublished home telephone number. We may need information such as your name, email address, telephone number, address, employer or company affiliation, property relationship, or other details to locate records and verify your request. We will use verification information only for request handling, security, fraud prevention, and compliance.

You may use an authorized agent to submit a request where permitted by applicable law. We may require the agent to provide proof of authority and may require you to verify your own identity directly with us or confirm that you authorized the agent to act on your behalf.

If we honor a request to correct, remove, or suppress information, we will update the information in our Services as appropriate. We may retain limited records needed to document and honor the request and, where required, prevent the information from being reintroduced. Where appropriate, we may notify customers who previously obtained affected information of a correction or restriction. We cannot guarantee removal of copies that a customer or another third party independently maintains, and we cannot control those copies.

To submit a request, email legal@gw.inc or write to us at General Welfare Systems, Inc., 169 Madison Avenue, Suite 38506, New York, NY 10016, Attn: Privacy.

We will respond to requests and, where applicable, appeals within the time required by law. If we decline a request, we will explain the decision and how to appeal where an appeal right applies. You may submit an appeal by emailing legal@gw.inc with “Privacy Appeal” in the subject line. You may also submit a complaint to a regulator with jurisdiction over your concern.

No discrimination or retaliation. We will not discriminate or retaliate against you for exercising any privacy right where prohibited by law.

Accessibility. If you need this Privacy Policy or request channels in an alternative accessible format, contact us using the information in Section 16.

11. Regulated Uses and Outreach

GWS is not a consumer reporting agency, as defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and Parcels Data and the other Services are not consumer reports or consumer reporting services and are not designed or intended to be used as such. Customers may not use the Services to determine a person’s eligibility for credit, insurance, employment, housing, tenancy, benefits, or any other purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act or similar laws.

Contact information is provided for research purposes and may be incomplete or outdated. GWS does not represent that any person has consented to calls, texts, email, or other outreach. Customers are independently responsible for verifying consent, do-not-call and reassigned-number status, permissible purpose, and compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, Telemarketing Sales Rule, CAN-SPAM Act, state mini-TCPA and telemarketing laws, and other applicable requirements.

12. Children

The Services are intended for adults and are not directed to children. The research product is not intended to include information about minors. If you believe it contains such information, contact us using Section 16 so we can review it.

13. United States Processing

GWS operates the Services for U.S. users. Personal information is currently processed and stored in the United States and accessed by U.S.-based employees. If our practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy and use appropriate safeguards as required by law.

The Services are offered to, and intended for use by, business and professional users located in the United States. The Services are not offered or directed to individuals located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, and GWS does not intend to monitor the behavior of, or offer goods or services to, individuals located in those jurisdictions. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local law.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version with an updated “Last Updated” date and provide additional notice when required by law or when changes are material.

15. Third-Party Links, Integrations, and Embedded Content

The Services may link to, integrate with, or embed content from websites, applications, and services operated by third parties, including authentication, payment, analytics, communications, mapping, and AI providers. The Services include Google Maps features and content, and Google’s use of information collected through those features is governed by the Google Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. Those third parties may collect information about you through their own technologies and in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices of any third party. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site or service before providing information to it. A link does not imply endorsement.
