What we collect: The photo you take, your GPS location at submit time, and any title/description you type. That's it.

Where it goes: Submitted directly to the relevant city's 311 system through SeeClickFix's public API, or through SF.gov for San Francisco. Reports submitted via this app file under the operator account or the city's anonymous web-reporting flow.

What we don't do: No selling of data. We cache your photo briefly to avoid re-running AI on retries, then it's gone. If you sign in, we save ticket IDs and editable text/location details so you can track and resubmit reports.

What location is used for:

• Auto-detect which Bay Area city you're in (so the report goes to the right 311)
• Attach exact coordinates so city crews can find the issue
• Reverse-geocode an address for human-readable display
• Forward-geocode if you type an address yourself

Your control: You can manually pick any supported city instead of using GPS, or move the map pin to adjust the location. The dropdown locks once you pick — GPS won't override your choice.

Affiliation: ImproveBayArea is independent — not affiliated with any city government. Built on public 311 interfaces by Barklee Sanders. City officials interested in coverage or partnership: please reach out.
