1. Information We Collect
PATROL MAP is designed as an informational directory. We may collect limited information needed to provide and improve the service:
- Device and usage information: device type, operating system, app version, approximate diagnostics, crash data, and basic interaction data.
- Location information: if you allow location access, we use your device location to show nearby patrol posts, roadside public safety offices, directions, and map results. You can disable location permissions in your device settings.
- Search and map activity: city, state, country, or map queries used to find directory entries.
- Support communications: information you provide when contacting us, such as your email address and message content.
2. How We Use Information
We use information to operate, maintain, and improve PATROL MAP, including to:
- Show nearby patrol posts, sheriff road units, highway patrol posts, state trooper offices, municipal traffic units, and other public safety directory entries.
- Provide directions, offline map support, and saved directory access.
- Improve data quality, troubleshoot issues, and understand aggregate product usage.
- Respond to support requests and communicate important service updates.
- Protect the service from abuse, fraud, or technical misuse.
3. Public Directory Data
PATROL MAP includes information compiled from public sources, such as government websites, public department directories, and other publicly available records. Directory data may include agency names, patrol post types, roadside office details, addresses, phone numbers, and general office details.
PATROL MAP is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any government agency, law enforcement agency, emergency dispatch center, or public safety authority.
4. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information only in the following situations:

- Safety and security: when reasonably necessary to protect users, the public, our rights, or the integrity of the service.
- Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate privacy protections.
5. Data Retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including service operation, support, analytics, legal compliance, and security. Aggregated or de-identified information may be retained for longer periods.
6. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
