What Data We Handle and How
Location Data
The "Find Near Me" feature requests your browser's built-in geolocation capability. Your precise GPS coordinates are used ONLY in-browser to calculate distances to nearby police stations. They are never transmitted to our servers, never stored, never logged and never shared with any third party. Location permission is requested only after you click the "Find Near Me" button — we never request it passively or in the background.
Usage Analytics
We may collect anonymous, aggregated usage data such as pages visited, search queries entered and general browsing patterns. This data is completely anonymised — it cannot be used to identify individual users. We use this data solely to improve the directory's search quality and user experience.
Correction Submissions
If you submit a data correction report and voluntarily provide your email address, it is used only for follow-up correspondence related to that specific correction. It is not added to any mailing list, marketing database, or shared with any third party under any circumstances.
Cookies & Local Storage
We use minimal functional cookies and browser local storage for features like storing recent searches in your browser for convenience. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or cross-site tracking technologies. We do not serve advertisements on this platform.
Third-Party Services
PoliceStationsIndia.com does not embed advertising networks, social media tracking scripts, or third-party data brokers. Map functionality uses Leaflet.js, an open-source library that processes data locally in your browser. No personal data is transmitted to mapping services.
Data Security
The minimal data we do collect (anonymous analytics) is handled with industry-standard security practices. We do not store sensitive personal information, government IDs, or financial data. The site uses HTTPS encryption for all connections.
