Privacy, in plain language. Gone files official Graffiti Removal Requests with Chicago 311 through the city's Open311 API.
AI drafts each report from your photo — the description and the city's intake questions. You review and can edit everything; nothing is sent to the city until you approve it.
Your photo, the report location, your answers to the city's questions and, if you choose to add it, your email address, which the city may use to send updates about your request.
Your photos, so they can be attached to reports, and your report history, which is kept only on your device. Gone has no accounts, no analytics trackers and sells nothing.
Report photos are retained for up to 24 months, then deleted. Photos are re-encoded on your device before upload, which removes all embedded metadata including the camera's GPS — the only location stored is the one you confirm on the map.
Gone is an independent neighborhood tool built in Lakeview, Chicago. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the City of Chicago.
