Privacy Policy

Spatial Labs Inc. (“Spatial.ai”) values and respects the privacy of users. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect information about locations from public geotagged posts on social media platforms, as well as visitors to our website(s), what information we collect, and how that information may be used and shared.

Information We Collect and How We Collect It

We obtain a variety of public information (collectively the “Information”) from public geotagged posts. We collect this information primarily through APIs, which are interfaces through which these platforms can provide us with information about a location. We collect the following public Information from these platforms:

• Screen name
• User ID
• Business name
• Business address
• Business rating
• Text from posts
• Lat/lon of a geotagged post
• Timestamp from a post
  

All information must be made public by the individual or business for Spatial.ai to collect it.

How We Use and Share the Information We Collect

Spatial.ai cleans, aggregates, and analyzes the Information collected from posts and provides the Information to our customers. Our customers – a variety of companies and organizations – in turn use the Information for a variety of commercial and research purposes, including retail site selection (for instance, determining where to open a new clothing shop), urban planning (for instance, understanding the interests of a particular community), and market research (for instance, tracking the change in certain types of conversation at a neighborhood level over time).

Sometimes the aggregated Information is used to build models that determine the sales of a product at a given location. For instance, some of our customers may create a “predictive model” to estimate the potential sales of a product in a retail store. Spatial.ai may also use the Information for our internal and operational purposes, such as quality checking, or for our own sales and marketing purposes, and more generally to operate, maintain and improve the services we offer.
