CrimeRadar: Dispatch Alerts

"In certain cases, we may share limited user data with trusted third-party providers, such as OpenAI, to help generate responses and to detect abuse, spam, or security issues. This data sharing may include: Content you submit while using AI-powered features; General location; Browser history. We may also use Software Development Kits (SDKs) to allow our advertising partners to collect your Device and Usage information so that they can decide whether to bid on ad inventory, tailor and serve relevant advertisements to you, and measure the effectiveness of advertising."

User content, general location, and browser history are shared with OpenAI and other AI providers. Additionally, advertising SDKs embedded in the app collect device and usage data directly from users' devices.

"If you provide permission for the app to access precise location, the app will use that information only to determine your general location with greater accuracy so that we can serve you more relevant content for your location. We may retain your precise geolocation. We may also collect general location information via your IP address."

The app may retain precise geolocation data despite claiming it's only used for general location purposes. The website section says they don't retain precise location, but the app section contradicts this by stating they may retain it.

"Your browsing activity may be tracked across different websites and different devices or apps. For example, we may attempt to match your browsing activity on your mobile device with your browsing activity on your laptop. To do this our technology partners may disclose data, such as your browsing patterns, geo-location and device identifiers, and will match the information of the browser and devices that appear to be used by the same person."

CrimeRadar and its technology partners actively link user activity across multiple devices and websites by matching browsing patterns, geolocation, and device identifiers to build unified user profiles.

"We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we'll notify you of these changes as required by applicable law, for example by posting them on the Services or providing email or other notice. You understand and agree that you will be deemed to have accepted the updated Privacy Policy if you use the Services after the updated Privacy Policy is posted on the Services."

Simply continuing to use the service after policy changes are posted counts as acceptance, with no requirement for explicit user consent to new terms.

"We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide our Services, and for other necessary legal purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, enforcing our agreements, and for fraud prevention and related security purposes. We may delete or de-identify your information sooner if we receive a verifiable deletion request, subject to exemptions under applicable law. We may retain cached or archived copies of your information."

No specific retention timelines are given, and the company reserves the right to keep cached or archived copies of user data even after a deletion request, undermining the effectiveness of data deletion.

"We may collect information about the devices you use to access our Services, such as IP address, device ID, cookie ID, user settings and preferences, operating system, the content you interact with on our Sites, the type of device that you use, operating system type, browser type, app version and other information permitted by Android or iOS based on their policies and your settings."

CrimeRadar collects extensive device identifiers and metadata, and the open-ended phrase 'other information permitted by Android or iOS' allows collection of any data the platform permits without specifying limits.

"You can delete your personal data by deleting your account directly through your user settings. If you encounter any issues or need assistance, please contact us at privacy@crimeradar.us. We may delete or de-identify your information sooner if we receive a verifiable deletion request, subject to exemptions under applicable law. We may retain cached or archived copies of your information."

While self-service deletion exists, the company reserves broad exemptions to retain data after deletion and explicitly states cached or archived copies may survive account deletion.
