What a listing shows publicly

A listing shows the public a city and an area. It does not show the address itself.

The street, the house number, the internal location — floor, unit number, exactly where in the car park — and the precise coordinates are not sent to any visitor's browser. Nor are they hidden in the page source. Permission to read them is revoked in the database from every visitor and every signed-in user.

The pin on the map is not the address. It is snapped to a grid of about 300 metres, so every listing in the same cell reports exactly the same point. It says which neighbourhood the place is in, not which building.

You may not write an exact address in the listing title, the description, the photos or any other free-text field. A listing that does is rejected in review, with a written reason.
