Privacy policy

Airleaf measures the tree canopy and air quality around any point on Earth from satellite and sensor data, and plants native trees to close the gap. This policy covers this website and everything you can do on it.

For anything to do with your data — a question, a correction, or a deletion request — write to talha.tariq866@gmail.com. A person reads it.

We collect as little as the job allows. Nothing here is gathered “just in case” — each item below exists because something on the site stops working without it.

You can browse the map, run an analysis and read the Journal without ever giving us a name, an email address or an account. Identity only enters the picture when you choose to order something, write to us, or sign up.

Location is the one piece of data this product genuinely revolves around, so it deserves its own section rather than a line in a table.

It is always your choice. Your browser — not us — asks whether to share your position, and you can refuse. If you refuse, or simply ignore the prompt, the map opens on a demo neighbourhood instead and every feature still works. You can also just search an address or tap the map, and never use GPS at all.

We store the point, not the person. When an analysis runs we save the coordinates, the radius and the result so that the next request for the same spot is served from our database instead of re-reading satellite imagery. Those coordinates are rounded before they are stored and are not attached to your account, your name or your device.

Analysing a place is not a public act. Searching or analysing a location never posts anything to the community feed and is never shown to other users.

Most of what we hold is private. Two things are deliberately not, and you should know which before you act:

• Orders appear in the community feed. Placing an order adds an entry to the public “just planted” list and the leaderboard. For individuals we abbreviate the surname, so a full name is never published. Organisations are shown by name, since that is usually the point of a sponsored planting.
• Planting photos are public. Photos on the community feed are published by our planting team as verification that a funded tree went into the ground.

Your email address, phone number and delivery address are never published, never shown to other users and never shared with advertisers.

We use as few as we can get away with. Two are strictly necessary — without them you could not stay signed in or submit a form safely. The rest only appear if analytics and ads are switched on for this deployment.

Your browser can block or clear any of these. Blocking the two necessary ones will stop sign-in and checkout from working; blocking the rest costs you nothing.

We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it for anyone else's marketing. The only third parties involved are the ones that make the product function — and there is an important distinction between them:

That last row is a deliberate design decision. Our satellite, air-quality and forest-cover lookups all happen on our server rather than in your browser, which means those providers never learn who asked — only that Airleaf asked about a coordinate.

We may also disclose data where the law genuinely requires it, or to protect the safety and rights of people using the site.

Where ads are enabled, they are served by Google AdSense so the analysis can stay free to use. Some standard disclosures apply:

• Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this and other sites on the internet.
• Third-party vendors and ad networks may also serve ads and use their own cookies, which we do not control.

You can turn off personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings, and opt out of many other vendors at aboutads.info. Doing so does not remove ads — it makes them less relevant.

We keep data for as long as it is doing a job, and no longer:

• Analysis results — Cached and refreshed periodically. They describe a place, not a person.
• Account details — Until you ask us to close the account.
• Orders — Kept while we plant and care for the trees, and afterwards where tax or accounting rules require it.
• Contact messages — Kept while we handle your enquiry, then cleared out once it is resolved.
• Analytics and ad data — Retained by Google under its own retention settings.

Wherever you live, we will honour these requests — we would rather hold less data, not more. If you are in the UK, the EU or another region with comparable law, these are rights you hold by statute.

Email talha.tariq866@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days. We will not charge you, and we will not ask why.

Passwords are stored only as salted cryptographic hashes — we could not read yours if we wanted to. Sign-in relies on an httpOnly session cookie that JavaScript on the page cannot touch, and every state-changing request carries a CSRF token so another site cannot act as you.

Our database is not reachable from the public internet, and card details never enter the picture because this site does not process card payments. No system is perfect, but we would rather not hold data than have to defend it.

Airleaf is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. School and class planting projects are welcome — we just ask that a teacher, parent or guardian places the order. If you believe a child has given us personal data, tell us and we will delete it.

When this policy changes we will update the date at the top of the page. If a change materially affects how we use your data, we will say so clearly rather than quietly editing a paragraph. The version you are reading was last updated on 18 September 2026.

Questions, corrections, deletion requests, or a paragraph here that does not match what you have observed on the site — all of it goes to the same inbox, and we would genuinely like to know about the last one.
