Oil Tank Route / Service information

Privacy

The beta stores case intake in file-backed operational storage. There are no user accounts or public case pages.

Record Finder worksheets stay in your browser: tab session by default, or optional device saving for up to 7 days. Expired device worksheets are removed when reopened; use Clear this worksheet or browser site-data controls to delete them sooner. Worksheet details are not sent to us or attached to research intake. Avoid saving on shared devices.
The optional Seattle residential dataset lookup sends your search terms directly from your browser to Seattle Open Data only when you press Search. Oil Tank Route does not receive or save those terms or results, include them in analytics events, or add them to worksheet storage. The external provider can log requests under its own policies. Clear search removes the displayed results, not the provider's logs. This lookup does not submit a records request.
The document-gap checklist uses only selected situation, region and document categories in the current page's memory. It does not ask for an address, email or uploaded document, save selections, add them to the URL or send them to us. Reset clears its choices and generated checklist. An optional clipboard copy remains outside the page and may be stored or synced by your device; Reset cannot erase it.
A research request stores the property address, jurisdiction, role, tank status, question, deadline, document status, email, and optional notes.
Optional uploads store the actual uploaded PDF, JPG, or PNG file, its original filename, size, content type, and integrity hash inside the private case workspace.
Uploaded files and unredacted evidence are excluded from GA4, public pages, route intelligence, and repository commits; analytics receives page, state, and funnel context—not address, email, filenames, or free text.
If a submission fails, non-file form entries and the submission token can remain in that browser tab's session storage so the form can be restored. They are cleared after a successful submission or when the browser session ends; selected files must be attached again.
When email delivery is configured, the submitted email address receives an intake receipt with a case reference and next-step expectations. It does not include the full property address or uploaded files.
Case files are kept only while needed to research, deliver, resolve follow-up questions, or meet a legitimate operational obligation. At the end of that need, the operator removes the uploaded files and their private register entries rather than promising an automatic deletion schedule the current system does not provide.
To request deletion of a submitted case or uploaded document, contact the editorial address shown on the Contact page and identify the request sufficiently for the operator to locate it.
This release does not include user accounts, public case pages, payment, or a provider marketplace.
