Privacy Policy

Who we are

GetConnectedLA is operated by Parity Platforms LLC. We built this site to help Louisiana residents find and compare internet providers using publicly available federal data. We are not affiliated with the State of Louisiana, ConnectLA, or any internet service provider.

What we collect

Short version: almost nothing.

• Address lookups: When you use the address checker, your address is sent to Google Places (for autocomplete) and the U.S. Census Bureau (for geocoding). We do not store your address, coordinates, or lookup results on our servers.
• Eligibility quiz: Your answers to the Lifeline eligibility quiz are processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers or any third party.
• Analytics: We use Fathom Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service that does not use cookies, does not track individuals, and is fully GDPR compliant. Fathom collects anonymous page view counts only.
• No cookies: We do not set any cookies on your device. No tracking cookies, no session cookies, no advertising cookies.

Third-party services

• Google Places API: Used for address autocomplete. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
• U.S. Census Bureau Geocoder: Used to convert addresses to census block IDs for coverage lookups. This is a public federal API.
• Fathom Analytics: Privacy-first analytics. Fathom's Privacy Policy.
• Vercel: Our hosting provider. Subject to Vercel's Privacy Policy.

What we don't do

• We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with anyone.
• We do not run advertising or use advertising trackers.
• We do not create user profiles or accounts.
• We do not collect email addresses (unless you contact us directly).
• We do not use fingerprinting or any form of cross-site tracking.

Future affiliate links

In the future, we may include affiliate links to internet service providers. If you sign up for a provider through one of these links, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. This will be clearly disclosed on any page containing affiliate links. Affiliate relationships will never influence our data, scores, or rankings.

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.
