Data, sources & privacy.

Atlas Edge is an initial review implementation. Here is what powers the experience, what we store, and what is still being connected.

Locations and nearby places

California address predictions and selected-parcel map locations come from Atlas SDI’s internal property index using your Atlas sign-in. Selecting a suggestion resolves its parcel before moving the map. Address search has no Smarty Streets or Photon fallback. The interactive map uses OpenFreeMap and MapLibre. Nearby places are retrieved from OpenStreetMap through Overpass, with a separate Photon place fallback. OpenStreetMap is community maintained: a missing result does not establish that a place or service does not exist. Distances are straight-line measurements, not travel times. The “retrieved” date is the time data was requested, not a guarantee that the underlying record is current.

Property facts and hazards

Authenticated Atlas lookups can return matched parcel identifiers, land-use information, and configured hazard-layer observations where your account and source coverage allow. Point-layer observations do not replace a parcel hazard report. Crime history, school performance, tax, valuations, zoning, and cost calculations are not connected in this version. The interface labels unavailable datasets and does not infer property-specific risk from nearby features. USGS recent earthquake events are regional observations, not a property risk assessment. General official resources are provided for further research. No numeric risk ratings, crime scores, school rankings, or property values are generated.

Accounts and access

Sign in with your existing Atlas account. Atlas Edge checks your profile, company, and report access with the Atlas customer service. Your browser holds an HttpOnly session cookie; access tokens are not exposed to page scripts. Your password is used to sign in and is not retained by this interface. Report availability and pricing are checked on the server. An account does not automatically grant access to every report or data service.

Your device and external requests

Up to three recent resolved Atlas properties are stored by account in your browser on this device. Saved map places are also device-local. Clear browser site data to remove them. No search history is written to an Edge application database. Address queries and selected parcel identifiers go to Atlas. Map locations are sent to map and nearby-place providers to answer those separate requests. When you request an Atlas property or hazard lookup, that selected address or map point is sent to Atlas production using your account’s authorization. This interface returns a limited projection; owner, deed and mortgage details are not included. The map loads external tiles; providers may receive your IP address. Shared exploration URLs include the selected location. Do not put confidential information in a search.

Atlas hazard map overlays

Accounts with Atlas Interactive Map access can select California flood, fire, fault, liquefaction, landslide and dam-inundation layers. Each selection displays one Atlas GeoServer dataset and its source legend. Panning or zooming sends the visible map extent to Atlas GeoServer; your Atlas password, session cookie and customer token are not sent to that map service. These zone maps provide geographic context. A blank area, missing coverage or failed request does not establish that a property is safe or replace a parcel disclosure report.

Replacement cost estimates

The estimate flow validates a specific address and checks your current Atlas account’s report access and quoted allowance. Free access is shown only when Atlas confirms a no-charge allowance. Final property eligibility, ordering, and cost calculations are separate; this check does not order or generate an estimate. Replacement cost is distinct from market value, assessed value, and an insurance quote.

Imagery

All neighborhood and home imagery is general illustration. It is not a photograph or evidence of the property selected on the map.
