# Why does FPF need my street address?

FPF requires your street address in order to place your account in the FPF Neighborhood Forum where you live. We do not share your full street address with anyone (see our [Privacy Policy](https://frontporchforum.com/privacy-policy)). Your street name (but not your house/apt. number) is revealed to your nearby neighbors only when you submit a posting to FPF.
