Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information needed to provide BreakMap’s service.

Information you provide

When you subscribe to crime alerts or monthly crime reports, we may collect:

• your email address;
• the neighbourhood, area, address, intersection, or location preferences you subscribe to;
• your alert preferences, such as frequency or types of incidents; and
• any information you send us directly, such as support requests sent to team@launchfury.com.

Automatically collected information

Like most websites, we may collect basic technical information when you use BreakMap, such as:

• IP address;
• browser type;
• device type;
• pages viewed;
• referral source;
• approximate location based on IP address; and
• timestamps and server logs.

We use this information to operate, secure, debug, and improve the website.

2. How We Use Information

We use your information to:

• send you once- or twice-daily email updates about crimes or incidents in the neighbourhoods or areas you subscribed to;
• send the monthly city crime report you subscribed to;
• manage your subscription and unsubscribe requests;
• respond to questions or support requests;
• improve the website and email alerts;
• prevent abuse, spam, fraud, or security issues; and
• comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information.

We do not share your email address with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

3. Email Updates and Consent

By submitting your email address and subscribing to BreakMap updates, you consent to receiving email notifications from us about crimes, incidents, monthly reports, and related updates for the areas or cities you selected.

Every subscription email will include a way to unsubscribe. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in an email or by contacting us at team@launchfury.com.

We will process unsubscribe requests as soon as reasonably possible.

4. Public Data Sources

BreakMap uses publicly available crime and incident information, including public data made available by the Toronto Police Service and other public sources.

BreakMap is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Toronto Police Service, the City of Toronto, or any government agency unless expressly stated.

Public data may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, reclassified, corrected, or removed by the original source. BreakMap may also process, summarize, map, categorize, or display data in ways that could contain errors.

5. Service Providers

We may use trusted service providers to help operate BreakMap, such as hosting providers, database providers, analytics providers, and email delivery services.

These providers may process limited information on our behalf only as needed to provide their services to us. We do not authorize them to use your email address for their own marketing.

6. Cookies and Analytics

BreakMap may use cookies or similar technologies to keep the site working, understand usage, improve performance, and prevent abuse.

If we use analytics tools, we will use them to understand aggregate website usage, not to sell your personal information.

7. Data Retention

We keep your email address and subscription preferences for as long as you remain subscribed.

If you unsubscribe, we may retain limited information necessary to honour your unsubscribe request, maintain suppression lists, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, or maintain backups.

Server logs and technical records may be retained for a limited period for security, debugging, and operational purposes.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal information. However, no website, database, email system, or internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights and Choices

You may contact us to:

• unsubscribe from emails;
• request access to personal information we hold about you;
• ask us to correct or delete your information; or
• ask questions about our privacy practices.

We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

10. Children

BreakMap is not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at team@launchfury.com.
