Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) from your email may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from such images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine browser compatibility. It is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in:
- Login cookies last for two days.
- Screen option cookies last for one year.
- If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks.

If you edit or publish content, an additional cookie is saved to track the post ID. It expires after one day and stores no personal data.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, news). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the external website directly.
These websites may collect data, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor interaction—especially if you’re logged in to those external sites.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
We may also share information with verified law enforcement authorities for legitimate safety and public interest reasons, especially when using MyFCT app features like Panic Alerts or Report-a-Crime.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
For registered users, we store personal information in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their information anytime (except usernames). Administrators can also view and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your data. You can also request we erase your personal data. This excludes data we are required to retain for legal, security, or administrative purposes.
To request data access or deletion, email: help@myfctsecure.com.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Emergency reports submitted via the MyFCT app may be encrypted and routed to assigned police divisions for prompt action. These reports are protected with strict access control and audit logging.
