Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the PD Incident Reports and FD Incident Reports mobile applications. Effective Date: April 3, 2026.
Report content entered by the user, including incident details, attached photos, department information, and signatures, is stored locally on the user's device unless the user chooses to export or share that information. We may use third-party services such as Firebase Analytics and ad network providers to collect limited technical information, which may include app usage data, crash and diagnostics data, device identifiers, and advertising-related data for free-tier ad display.
Information may be used to operate the applications, provide subscription-based feature access, display advertisements in the free version, monitor crashes and app performance, and improve reliability and usability.
Defensive Thinking does not maintain a remote database of user-generated report content for these apps.
These third-party services may include Apple App Store and StoreKit for purchases and subscriptions, Google App Store and SDKs for purchases and subscriptions, Google AdMob for advertising in the free version, and Firebase Analytics for analytics and diagnostics. These third parties may process limited technical data according to their own privacy policies.
Technical data collected by third-party providers is only used in connection with app functionality, analytics, diagnostics, advertising, and subscription management.
Users may delete reports, attachments, and app data directly from their device. If a user removes the app from their device, locally stored app data may also be removed, subject to the device's backup and storage settings. These apps are intended for professional public safety use and are not directed to children. This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time, and updated versions will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, contact Defensive Thinking at Support@DefensiveThinking.org.
How The Apps Handle Information
The privacy model is straightforward and built around local control of report content.
Stored Locally
Incident details, photos, signatures, and department settings are intended to remain on the user's device unless the user exports or shares them.
Limited Technical Data
Analytics, crash reports, device identifiers, and ad-related data may be processed through third-party services to improve stability and support free-tier functionality.
User Controlled
Users control their reports and app data on their own device, including deletion and export decisions.
Defensive Thinking does not maintain a remote database of user-generated report content for PD Incident Reports and FD Incident Reports.
