We collect the content of cases and reports you submit, including descriptions and metadata.

Evidence Images

When you upload images as evidence, we store the image files in secure object storage and maintain metadata in our database.

Usage Analytics

We collect aggregated usage analytics to improve our service. This data is not linked to your personal identity.

  • Provide and maintain platform functionality.
  • Authenticate users through magic links.
