Neighborhood Blocks gives apartment buildings one public page. Property managers build the page; residents just open it. Here's what that means for data.
Residents never create an account, set a password, or install an app. Opening a building's page doesn't require telling us who you are. We don't sell resident data, and we don't share it with advertisers — full stop.
A few features store small preferences on your own phone (like a saved building, or a cached map location) using your browser's local storage. That data stays on your device and never reaches us.
When a resident uses Deco to find help, the request is counted once — anonymously — so our public Pulse page can show how much need is moving through each city. No name, unit, or answer content is attached to that count, and property managers only ever see totals — never who asked. If you choose to share a phone number or email so someone can follow up, that goes only to the Neighborhood Blocks support team. It is not shown to your landlord.
To build a block you sign in with an email address. We store your account email, the building details you enter (name, address, guide answers, links, photos), and your plan status. That content is what powers your building's public page — everything on the public page is there because you put it there.
If a building turns on a survey (like the move-in review sheet), responses go to that building's property manager. They don't appear on the public page.
Our infrastructure providers process data on our behalf: Supabase (database, authentication, and photo storage), Netlify (hosting), Google Fonts (typefaces), and a QR-code image service for generating QR codes. Building pages may also look up nearby places using OpenStreetMap services (Nominatim and Overpass) — those requests contain a building's address, not anything about you.
No ads, no ad trackers, no selling or renting data, no data brokers. Your property manager stays the system of record for leases and payments — rent is paid wherever it was already paid, and those payments never pass through us.
Property managers can unpublish or delete a block at any time. Residents who shared contact info through Deco can ask us to delete it. Email us and we'll take care of it.
Email hello@ontheblock.app and a person will answer.
