TickZoneHow the score works

Privacy Policy

Last updated July 1, 2026

TickZone is designed to need as little of your data as possible. You can use the entire site, and check the tick-risk score for any Massachusetts town, without an account and without giving us anything.

What we collect

  • Your email address, only if you join the app waitlist. It's stored and processed by our email provider, Kit (ConvertKit), so we can email you once when the app launches.
  • Basic technical logs.Our host, Vercel, records standard request data (such as IP address and browser type) to operate and secure the site. We don't use this to identify you.

We do not sell your data, run advertising, or set advertising or tracking cookies.

Who processes it

  • Kit (ConvertKit) — stores waitlist emails and sends the launch notification.
  • Vercel — hosts the site and keeps operational logs.

The public data sources we cite (CDC, MA DPH, Open-Meteo, iNaturalist, MassGIS, U.S. Census) are read-only. We take information from them; we never send them anything about you.

Your choices

  • Every email we send includes a one-click unsubscribe.
  • You can ask us to show or delete the data we hold about you (your waitlist email) by writing to hello@tickzone.app.

Children

TickZone isn't directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 13.
