Independence statement
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
nearmiss is an independent, personal open-source project. It is not affiliated
with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any employer, client, city, or public
agency. It contains no proprietary or client material. It is a community-owned
evidence base for safe-streets advocacy — not a municipal 311 queue and not a
complaint inbox for any public-works department.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Data, privacy, and honesty
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Precise raw reports are private and are never published or committed to version
control. The published open dataset is aggregated to public street segments,
with low-count segments withheld (k-anonymity) to protect contributor privacy
(see docs/THREAT-MODEL.md and docs/DATA-CARD.md). Every
published risk figure is exposure-normalized and carries a confidence interval;
the reporting bias of the dataset is named, not hidden (see docs/METHODOLOGY.md).

Third-party components

Leaflet (https://leafletjs.com), (c) 2010-2023 Vladimir Agafonkin and Leaflet
contributors, is vendored under web/vendor/leaflet/ for the interactive map. It
is licensed under the BSD 2-Clause License. The unmodified upstream distribution
(v1.9.4) is included so the site has no third-party code CDN dependency.
