Los Santos Police Department Internal Portal Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 12, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how the Los Santos Police Department (LSPD) Internal Portal handles information collected from users (referred to as "Personnel" or "Users") of the LSPD Internal Portal website. This policy applies to the site and all products and services offered by the LSPD Internal Portal.

1. Information We Handle

The LSPD Internal Portal is designed for official LSPD personnel use only. We want to make it unequivocally clear: this website does not collect, store, sell, or trade any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) about its users or any other individuals on its servers.

The only information saved by this website is for user convenience and is stored exclusively within your local web browser's storage (e.g., localStorage or sessionStorage). Specifically, this includes:

Report Generator Text Fields: To prevent data loss, the content entered into the text fields of the Police Report Generator (`report.html`) is saved locally in your web browser. This allows you to avoid retyping your entire report if you accidentally navigate away from the page or exit the web browser.

This local browser storage is not transmitted to LSPD servers or any third parties.

2. How We Use Handled Information (Local Storage Only)

The LSPD Internal Portal uses information stored in your local web browser solely to enhance your user experience and prevent data loss. The locally stored data for report generator text fields is used:

For User Convenience: To automatically pre-fill text fields in the Police Report Generator, ensuring that your work is not lost if you close the page or browser session.

3. How Your Locally Stored Information is Protected

Since all information described in this policy is stored locally within your web browser, its security is primarily dependent on the security of your device and browser.

No Server-Side Collection: As no PII or report content is transmitted to or stored on LSPD servers, there is no server-side data to protect in this regard.
User Device Security: You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own device and web browser to protect any locally stored data.
Unauthorized Access: Access to the portal itself is restricted to "LSPD Personnel Use Only". This access control helps prevent unauthorized individuals from even reaching the pages where local storage might occur.

4. Information Sharing

We do not collect, sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. Since the website does not collect or store any PII on its servers, there is no personal information to share. Any data (like the report generator text fields) saved locally in your browser is solely on your device.

5. Third-Party Websites

The LSPD Internal Portal may contain links to external websites, such as official LSPD websites or Google Docs for policy documents. We do not control the content or links that appear on these sites and are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our Site. These sites and services may have their own privacy policies and customer service policies. Browse and interaction on any other website, including websites which have a link to our Site, is subject to that website's own terms and policies.

6. Changes to this Privacy Policy

The Los Santos Police Department has the discretion to update this privacy policy at any time. When we do, we will revise the "effective date" at the top of this page. We encourage Users to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we handle information. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this privacy policy periodically and become aware of modifications.

7. Your Acceptance of These Terms

By using this Site, you signify your acceptance of this policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our Site. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes to this policy will be deemed your acceptance of those changes.
