Privacy

What we collect

• What you submit: the place, approximate date, and your account of what happened.
• Your email address, only if you choose to give one. We use it only to contact people who opt in to being contacted about their submission. We do not have a newsletter yet. If we start one, it will be opt-in and separate.
• Salted, hashed device and network identifiers, used only to prevent abuse such as flooding the site with reports. We do not store raw IP addresses.
• If you use "Use my location", your coordinates are rounded to about 1 km and used only to show incidents near you. We do not save them. They appear only in the page address, which can be part of the request logs described below.
• Our hosting provider, Vercel, keeps standard request logs (such as IP address, browser type, and the page requested) to run and secure the service.

Why we collect it

To check and publish accounts safely, to contact submitters who ask us to, and to keep the site from being abused. We do not sell personal information.

How long we keep it

Private submissions and contact details are kept only as long as needed to check an account and respond to you. Hashed abuse-prevention identifiers are deleted within 30 days.

Where it is stored

Data is stored in Canada (Amazon Web Services ca-central-1).

Access, correction, and deletion

You can ask to see, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or withdraw consent, by writing to our Privacy Officer at privacy@homeinvasions.org.
