Privacy policy
This policy covers allpoliceguide.com, published under the name All Police Guide. For privacy questions or requests, contact [email protected].
Information entered into tools
The radio-code filter, application checklist, and stop reference process interactions in your browser. Their current implementation does not submit your answers to an All Police Guide form backend or save them in browser storage. This does not mean that visiting the website produces no network or service records.
Station finder and location
The station finder requests device location only when you select “Use my location.” A place search sends the text and selected region to this site's search API, which queries OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service. A nearby-station search sends the selected center and radius to this site's API and then to the configured Overpass service. Device coordinates are rounded to four decimal places for station queries. You can use a city or ZIP code instead of device location; do not enter confidential case details.
Search results, including location labels and search-center coordinates, are cached on this site's server. Successful results are fresh for up to 24 hours and may be retained for up to seven days for service-interruption fallback. Empty responses are retained for ten minutes. Expired entries are removed when the tool receives further API requests. Temporary rate-limit records use a hashed client identifier, not a stored raw IP address, and expire within two minutes. Hosting and delivery logs may separately contain technical request information.
Loading the interactive map contacts OpenStreetMap tile servers, which receive request information including your IP address and the map tiles requested for the area you view. Map data, geocoding, and station lookup providers process requests under their own terms. See the OpenStreetMap Foundation privacy policy and Overpass service information.
Directions links open Google Maps and include the selected station's coordinates. We do not include your device location as the starting point in those links; Google may ask you for a starting location separately. Review Google's privacy policy.
Website delivery and external fonts
The website uses hosting and Cloudflare delivery services. Requests can expose technical information such as IP address, requested URL, time, and browser details to those providers and server logs for delivery, security, and troubleshooting. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Pages load fonts from Google Fonts. Your browser contacts Google's font servers, which receive request information including your IP address. See Google Fonts privacy information.
Email you send us
If you email us, your email address, message, and any attachments are processed through email services so we can handle the request. Keep sensitive personal documents out of messages. Correspondence may be retained while needed to handle the inquiry, document a correction, or meet applicable obligations. You may ask us about access or deletion using the contact address above.
Cookies, analytics, and advertising
Google Analytics 4 loads after the initial page load, whether or not you select “Allow analytics” in the site notice. The Google tag can process page-view and device or browser information for the GA4 property operated by All Police Guide. We do not enable Google advertising storage, advertising user-data collection, or ad personalization through this implementation.
Selecting “Allow analytics” stores that choice in this browser using local storage and dismisses the notice; it does not control whether Analytics loads. Clearing this website’s browser storage makes the notice appear again. Google describes its own data practices in Google’s privacy policy.
Google AdSense code is installed so Google can verify and review this site. Ads may begin only after AdSense marks the site ready and the account’s advertising settings permit delivery. Hosting or security providers may use their own technical mechanisms. Third-party sites you choose to visit, including Google Maps, have separate cookie and data practices.
Google AdSense
When Google AdSense serves ads, Google and other advertising vendors may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads based on a visitor’s prior visits to this or other websites, subject to the ad settings and consent choices that apply. Google explains that visitors can manage personalized-ad settings through My Ad Center; visitors can also review industry opt-out choices through YourAdChoices.
Google AdSense is the advertising network identified for this site. If another third-party advertising network is added, this policy will identify that network and link to its privacy and opt-out information before its ads are enabled.
EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland
Before serving personalized Google ads to visitors in the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we will use a Google-certified consent management platform that supports the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework where Google requires it. The current single-action analytics notice is not an advertising consent-management platform and must not be treated as one.
Your privacy choices and rights
You can deny location access, avoid opening external maps, manage cookies through your browser, and contact us with privacy questions. Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have rights concerning access, correction, deletion, objection, or opt-out choices. Describe your request without including unnecessary sensitive information.
Your Privacy Choices: California residents may use this link to ask about their privacy choices, including an opt-out request if we later introduce a practice covered by California’s “sale” or “sharing” definitions. We do not currently run personalized advertising. We may ask for information reasonably needed to verify and respond to a request; do not send identity documents, case files, or other sensitive records by email.
Changes to this policy
When the website's data practices change, the policy should change with them. The date above identifies this version. External websites and services remain responsible for their own practices.
