Transparency alternatives to Nearmap
Other GIS and mapping vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Nearmap. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 52 that differ from Nearmap on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Nearmap has 9 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Data location stated, Public pricing, Certifications named, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change, Named privacy contact. The column “Found there, not found at Nearmap” is the one that closes them.

Only criteria we could measure for both are counted. Where we could measure one and not the other, the row is silent: that would be a statement about our measurement, not about either vendor. Every single result with its source is on the two profiles.
