Privacy Policy

Close

Effective Date: October 22, 2024

At 916scanner.com, we value your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information during your visits and interactions with our site, including the chat system where users are required to log in.

1. Information We Collect

We collect personal information from users who sign up and log in to our chat system. Specifically:

  • Login Information: We collect the email address and display name of users either through social login (e.g., Google, Facebook) or direct registration on the website.
  • Chat System: We store session data and identifiers to ensure smooth interaction within the chat system, including user preferences, display name, and neighborhood information.
  • Analytics: Google Analytics tracks site traffic and behavior for improvements, but this data is anonymized and used for general site performance analysis.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use the collected data to:

  • Provide and manage the chat system for user interaction.
  • Ensure safe and secure participation in the chat, including monitoring for inappropriate behavior and enforcing community guidelines.
  • Analyze traffic and improve site performance and functionality.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell or share your personal data. Your personal information (email address, display name) is stored securely and used solely for the purpose of managing interactions within the chat system. Analytics data is used internally to enhance user experience.

4. Cookies Disclosure

We use cookies to store session data, preferences, and identifiers for the chat system. Cookies are stored until expired or deleted, and you can manage them via browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect chat features, such as keeping users logged in or saving preferences.

5. Chat System Data

The chat system assigns a unique identifier to each user, linked to their email address and display name. This identifier is used to manage interactions in the chat system. Chat history and identifiers are stored to monitor activity, detect abuse, and ensure compliance with our community guidelines. These data are retained to maintain the integrity of the chat system and to address any moderation needs.

6. Opting Out of Analytics

If you prefer not to be tracked through analytics, you can opt out by using the official Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

7. Children's Privacy

This website is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under this age. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will delete it promptly.

8. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the effective date above. Please review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.

Community Chat Guidelines

Close

Effective Date: October 22, 2024

The community chat at 916scanner.com is a space for real-time discussions related to emergency services activity, including police, fire, EMS, and other public safety topics. To ensure a respectful and useful environment, all users must follow these guidelines.

1. Respectful and Civil Discussions

All users must engage in respectful discussions. Harassment, personal attacks, threats, discrimination, or inflammatory language is strictly prohibited. Debate is welcome, but hostility will not be tolerated.

2. Stay on Topic

The chat is for discussions related to active emergency incidents, public safety updates, and community impact. Off-topic discussions, excessive political debates, or unrelated personal conversations should be taken elsewhere.

3. No Misinformation or Speculation

Do not spread unverified information, rumors, or speculation about emergency situations. Always rely on official sources such as law enforcement, fire departments, and verified news reports. If you're unsure about something, state that clearly.

4. No Interference with Emergency Services

Users must not:

  • Encourage or discuss interfering with law enforcement, fire, or medical personnel.
  • Advocate for chasing emergency vehicles or obstructing emergency responders.
  • Share advice on evading police or emergency actions.

Violating this rule may result in an immediate ban.

5. No Sharing of Private or Sensitive Information

Do not post personal information about yourself or others, including names, phone numbers, home addresses, or identifying details of individuals involved in incidents. This includes suspects, victims, first responders, and chat members.

6. No Streaming or Redistribution of Chat Content

Do not copy, retransmit, or publicly share chat discussions, logs, or screenshots without permission. This helps ensure the privacy and integrity of the chat community.

7. No Spam, Advertising, or Self-Promotion

Excessive link posting, advertisements, self-promotion, or off-topic content is prohibited. Occasional sharing of relevant, public safety-related resources is allowed but should not be excessive.

8. No Excessive Reposting or Flooding

Do not flood the chat with excessive messages, repeated questions, or unnecessary updates. This disrupts meaningful discussion and makes it harder for others to follow important information.

9. Moderation and Enforcement

Moderators have the final say in enforcing these rules. Violations may result in warnings, temporary suspensions, or permanent bans. Chat history is monitored, and repeat offenders may be restricted from participating.

10. Appeals and Feedback

If you believe a moderation decision was made in error, or if you have feedback about the chat system, please contact us at [email protected].

11. Policy Updates

These guidelines may be updated as needed. Please review them periodically to stay informed about community expectations.
