Essential Operations & Zero Tracking Guarantee
Contour does not engage in behavioural profiling, cross-site tracking, or sell user data to advertising networks. All cookies, local storage keys, and offline SQLite WASM caches utilized by Contour are strictly essential to enforce multi-tenant isolation, safeguard NRC and Title Deed vaults, and enable offline-first field synchronization during power outages.

02.Offline-First Local Storage (PowerSync WASM)
To provide continuous real estate operational capability in Zambia despite load shedding and intermittent telecom networks, Contour replicates your agency's authorized property data and work queues to an encrypted, client-side SQLite database in your browser.
Local SQLite data is scoped strictly to your authenticated session. If you log out or if your member role is revoked, local database keys are wiped automatically from your browser storage.
03.Third-Party Pixels & Ad Networks
Contour guarantees that:
- We do not deploy Meta/Facebook Pixels, Google Tag Manager advertising tags, TikTok trackers, or third-party behavioral beacons.
- We do not share your browsing habits, searched properties, or lease values with data brokers or marketing intermediaries.
- All telemetry captured in our
AuditLogandAiUsageLogtables is strictly first-party operational data used for POPIA/DPA compliance and token accounting.
04.Managing Your Preferences
Because all cookies and storage mechanisms utilized are strictly necessary to deliver the service and uphold data protection statutory covenants, disabling cookies in your browser settings will prevent authentication and disable the property document vault.
