Data Protection Measures
How we keep your information secure and private
1

Automatic PII Redaction

Email addresses and phone numbers are automatically removed from all text before storage.

2

Handle Hashing

Social media handles are converted to SHA-256 hashes - we never store the actual usernames.

3

URL Sanitization

Only website hosts are stored, not full URLs with potentially sensitive query parameters.

4

Encrypted Storage

All data is encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard encryption.

Data Retention
How long we keep information and when it's deleted

Automatic Data Purging

We automatically delete all online safety reports after 24 months. This ensures your data doesn't accumulate indefinitely while still allowing us to identify patterns and protect the community.

Online Reports: 24 months
Scan Results: 24 months
Processing Queue: 3 months
Analytics Data: 12 months
Third-Party Services
External services we use and how they handle data

Security Scanning Services

We use VirusTotal and AbuseIPDB to check suspicious URLs. Only website hosts (not full URLs) are shared with these services for security analysis.

Map Tiles

Map data is provided by OpenStreetMap. No personal information is shared when loading map tiles.

Analytics

We use Vercel Analytics for anonymous usage statistics. No personal data or report content is included in analytics.

Your Rights
What you can do regarding your data

Right to Anonymity: Since we don't collect personal information, there's no way to link reports back to you.

No Account Required: You never need to create an account or provide contact information.

Tracking ID Only: The only identifier is your report's tracking ID, which you can choose to keep or discard.

Emergency Situations: In genuine emergencies, contact local authorities directly. This system is for community safety reporting, not emergency response.
