Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information submitted through our reporting system. Our mission is to provide a safe way for community members to submit information that may assist law enforcement or appropriate authorities in preventing harm, supporting victims, and addressing potential criminal behavior. We respect the privacy and safety of all individuals and recognize the importance of handling sensitive information with great care.

Purpose of Information Collection
The primary purpose of collecting information is to support public safety and assist law enforcement or recognized investigative agencies in identifying, assessing, and responding to potential threats, criminal activities, or safety concerns. Information submitted through this reporting system may be reviewed, verified, and shared with law enforcement partners to facilitate appropriate follow-up actions. Information is never used for advertising, solicitation, or commercial purposes.

Information You Voluntarily Provide
Users may choose to submit personal information such as name, contact information, or relationship to individuals involved in a report. Providing personal information is optional; however, it may significantly enhance the ability of authorities to conduct a thorough and timely investigation. If you choose to submit personal information, we will use it solely for the purposes described in this policy. Individuals may also submit detailed accounts, timelines, screenshots, suspect information, and descriptions of events.

Optional Anonymity
You may submit a report without providing any identifying information. Choosing anonymity may limit the ability of law enforcement or authorized investigators to verify details or follow up for clarification or additional context. While anonymity is permitted, users are encouraged to provide at least one method of contact when possible to support investigative success.

Information Automatically Processed for Security
This system does not use tracking cookies or marketing analytics. Limited technical information may be automatically processed by the hosting infrastructure to ensure security, detect tampering, defend against cyberattacks, or maintain operational integrity. This may include temporary server logs or security firewall records. These logs are not used to personally identify users unless necessary for system security or legal compliance.

Use of Submitted Information
Information submitted may be used to refer cases to law enforcement or other appropriate agencies, assess threat levels, verify accuracy, and support investigative workflows. Data may also be used to improve reporting processes, identify systemic risks, and enhance safety. Information will only be accessed by authorized personnel who have been granted access for investigation, system administration, or safety review purposes.

Sharing of Information
Information submitted may be shared with verified law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, or mandated safety partners to support investigations or legal processes. Information is not sold, rented, or shared with private entities, advertisers, or outside parties for marketing or commercial use. We may disclose information if compelled by legal authority or if necessary to prevent imminent harm or protect vulnerable individuals.

Data Security and Encryption
We employ strong encryption practices, secure data transfer protocols, and access-controlled storage environments to protect submitted information. Submissions are encrypted at rest and in transit. Access to data is limited to trained and authorized personnel under strict internal controls. System safeguards, routine security reviews, and security incident response measures are in place to prevent unauthorized access or misuse.

Retention of Information
Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill investigative or legal requirements, respond to relevant authorities, improve system reliability, or maintain security obligations. When information is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized, except where retention is required by law or official investigative process.

User Rights and Requests
Users may request removal or modification of voluntarily submitted personal information, subject to legal or investigative limitations. Requests will be honored when legally permitted and when removal does not interfere with safety, evidence preservation, or investigative needs. Due to the potential relevance of submissions to criminal cases, some data may not be immediately deletable upon request.

Limitations and Emergency Situations
This reporting system is not monitored in real time and is not an emergency-response service. If someone is in immediate danger, experiencing a life-threatening emergency, or in a situation requiring urgent intervention, users must contact emergency services directly by calling 911 or the appropriate local emergency authority.

Children and Vulnerable Persons
This platform may be used to report exploitation or harm involving minors or vulnerable individuals. In such cases, relevant information may be shared with child protection authorities or law enforcement as required by law. Individuals under 18 should only submit reports with the guidance of a trusted adult unless doing so would endanger them.

Policy Changes
This Privacy Policy may be updated or revised as our practices evolve, regulations change, or additional safeguards are implemented. Continued use of the reporting system after changes are posted constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy.

Disclaimer
This Privacy Policy is currently under review and not yet finalized. Policy language, practices, and procedures described above may be updated or adjusted prior to official adoption. Users should understand that the system is in a controlled development phase, and final privacy protections and procedures will be published once official review is complete.

STUDENT SAFETY & REPORTING GUIDELINES

What this tool is for
This reporting tool is here to help you safely share concerns about someone who may be in danger, being harmed, acting unsafe, or involved in something illegal or harmful online or in person. Your report can help protect people and get help to someone who needs it.

When to use this tool
Use this system if you need to report:
• Someone being pressured or controlled
• Online grooming or unsafe messages
• Bullying, threats, or harassment
• Someone asking for private photos or information
• Scams or blackmail attempts
• Suspicious behavior online or in the community
• Someone who may be unsafe or at risk

This is NOT for emergencies
If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or contact trusted adults right away instead of waiting for a response here.

Being honest and responsible
Only share information you believe is true. Do not use this system to spread rumors, get even with someone, or make false reports. False reports can cause harm and may lead to consequences.

Sharing information
You can choose to include your name or submit a report without your name. Sharing your contact information can help trusted adults or law enforcement follow up and protect people more effectively.

If you are reporting about another student
Try to give clear information. Share what you know, not guesses. If you have evidence, you may upload screenshots or images that help explain the situation.

If you are the one being targeted or feel unsafe
You are doing the right thing by speaking up. You deserve safety and support. You can share what is happening, and we will work to connect your report to the right people to help you.

Respect for others
This tool should only be used to help and protect people. Do not submit bullying, threats, personal attacks, or personal information about someone unless it is part of a real safety concern.

Who sees your report
Your report may be reviewed by trained staff and may be shared with the school safety team, law enforcement, school counselors, or other people who can help.

Privacy
We only ask for information that helps keep people safe. Your information is stored securely and only shared with trusted adults or safety professionals when needed.

Changes to these rules
This policy may change as we continue improving our system. If anything changes, we will update this page so you always know how your information is handled.

Reminder
Speaking up to protect yourself or others is strong, not weak. You are helping keep your school and community safe.

If something feels wrong or unsafe, it is always OK to tell someone.

PARENT / GUARDIAN INFORMATION SHEET

About this reporting tool
This reporting tool allows students and community members to share concerns about possible harm, unsafe behavior, or inappropriate online interactions. The goal is to protect young people and ensure the right people are notified when someone may need help or intervention.

Why this system exists
This tool creates a safe and structured way for young people to report:

• Potential human trafficking or grooming behavior
• Online exploitation or coercion
• Bullying, harassment, or threats
• Anyone requesting private photos or personal information
• Scams or online blackmail attempts
• Safety concerns involving peers or adults
• Suspicious or unsafe behavior online or in the community

Speaking up early can help stop harm before it happens and connect students with support quickly.

Not for emergencies
This reporting system is not monitored continuously. If there is an immediate threat to safety, parents and students should call 911 or contact school officials immediately.

Confidentiality and identity choice
Students may choose to identify themselves or remain anonymous. However, including contact information often helps safety professionals follow up and take action more effectively. Student submissions are handled as confidential safety reports, not disciplinary complaints.

How reports are handled
Reports may be reviewed by school administrators, law enforcement, school counselors, or other safety professionals, depending on the situation. Information is only shared when necessary to protect individuals or address safety concerns.

Information protection
Reports are stored securely. The system does not collect data for marketing, advertising, or tracking. Personal information voluntarily provided by students is handled with care and used only for safety purposes.

Role of families
Parents and guardians are encouraged to:

• Talk with their child about safe online behavior
• Support them in reporting harm or inappropriate activity
• Reinforce that asking for help is responsible and brave
• Ensure children know how to contact a trusted adult or emergency services
• Report urgent concerns directly to the school or law enforcement

Healthy communication between home and school supports student safety and well-being.

False or malicious reports
False or intentionally harmful submissions are discouraged and may result in follow-up by school staff. The system is designed for real safety concerns, not rumors, retaliation, or jokes.

Encouraging safe reporting
We encourage you to remind your child:

• It is okay to speak up if something feels wrong
• Reporting harm is not “snitching” — it is protecting people
• Their safety and the safety of others matters
• They have adults who will listen and support them

More than anything, students should feel empowered to seek help when something concerns them.

Policy status
This system and its related policies are currently being reviewed and refined. Once review is complete, a finalized policy will be shared.
