Summary

FIREUP stores incident details, evidence, and location data only for emergency response, verification, dispatching, and post-incident review.

1. Information we collect

We may collect your name, email address, password hash, phone number, address, account role, incident details, uploaded media, and approximate or exact location data when you register or submit emergency-related information.

2. Why we use your data

Operations

To verify reports, assign responders, coordinate dispatch, and track incident progress.

Security

To protect accounts, process password resets, monitor misuse, and maintain platform integrity.

3. Incident content and evidence

Photos, videos, descriptions, and map details submitted through FIREUP are processed to support emergency validation, public safety review, field coordination, and after-action records. Users should upload only material that is lawful, accurate, and relevant to the reported incident.

4. Data sharing

Information may be shared with authorized administrators, dispatchers, firefighters, and lawful public safety partners when necessary to respond to incidents, investigate misuse, comply with legal obligations, or protect the public and responders from harm.

5. Retention and protection

We retain records only as long as necessary for operational, legal, and safety purposes. Passwords are stored as secure hashes, password reset OTPs are single-use and time-limited, and access to operational data is limited by account roles and administrative controls.

6. Your choices

You may request account assistance, update your information where allowed, and contact support regarding data concerns. Some information may need to remain stored when required for active incidents, administrative review, or legal compliance.
