1. OUR SERVICES
Intterra provides technology that helps public safety agencies share situational awareness, incident, mapping, and emergency information. Our Services fall into two broad groups:
Important: Public-facing Services are supplemental information tools. They should not be relied on as your sole source of emergency information. Always follow instructions from local authorities and official emergency channels.
2. DATA OWNERSHIP AND OUR ROLE
Our Services involve three distinct categories of data, and who owns and controls each differs.
2.1 The Technology Platform. Our applications, websites, software, infrastructure, and any aggregated or de-identified analytics we generate about how the Services operate and perform are owned and managed by Intterra.
2.2 Agency Data. Incident details, evacuation zones, hazard boundaries, response information, operational data, and other content that Agency Customers create, upload, or publish through the Services (“Agency Data”) is owned and controlled by those agencies. Intterra hosts, processes, transmits, and displays Agency Data on the agencies’ behalf as a service provider. We do not create, verify, or control its substance and do not claim ownership over it. Our handling of Agency Data is governed by our agreements with each agency and by that agency’s own policies.
2.3 Personal Information We Control. Personal information you submit to us directly, or that we collect automatically from your device when you use our public-facing Services or websites, is handled by Intterra as described in this Policy. It is not owned by or shared with Agency Customers except as described in Section 5.1.
If you have questions about the accuracy of a specific incident, evacuation notice, or other agency-published content, please contact the responsible agency directly. We can help direct you to the right agency contact on request.
If you are an authorized user of an agency platform, your agency generally controls the account information it provides to us. Please direct questions or requests about that information to your agency administrator.
3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
3.1 Information You Provide Directly. You may provide information when you:
This may include your name, email address, phone number, organization, and a physical address (for example, a location of interest, not necessarily your residence). For some public-facing apps, the only information required for core features is an app store ID (Apple or Google), used to enable installation and basic functionality.
3.2 Information Collected Automatically. When you use the Services, we may automatically collect:
3.3 Precise Geolocation. Some Services can use your device’s precise location to deliver location-relevant alerts and hazard information. We collect it only with your explicit opt-in consent through your device settings and use it only to provide the feature you requested. We do not use it to infer characteristics about you. You can withdraw consent at any time in your device settings; public-facing Services remain functional without location access.
3.4 Cookies and Similar Technologies. Our websites and apps may use cookies, web beacons, local storage, and similar technologies, including those operated by service providers who support hosting, analytics, app performance, and customer support. Some features (such as embedded videos or website chat) load third-party content only when you choose to use them, and that third party then receives your IP address and browser information. We do not permit service providers to use this data for their own advertising, and we do not engage in cross-context behavioral advertising. You can usually disable cookies in your browser or device settings, though some features may not work as a result.
3.5 Sources of Information. We collect personal information from you directly, from your device automatically, from Agency Customers that set up accounts for their personnel, and from service providers that support hosting, analytics, crash reporting, and customer support on our behalf. We do not purchase personal information from data brokers or other third parties.
4. HOW WE USE INFORMATION
We use personal information to:
We may also create aggregated or de-identified data for research, analysis, and improvement of the Services. We maintain and use de-identified data in a way designed to prevent re-identification.
5. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising. We share information only in these limited circumstances:
5.1 With Public Safety Agencies. Incident, mapping, and evacuation content in the Services comes from Agency Customers (see Section 2). We share your personal information with an agency only if you affirmatively submit it to that agency (for example, a contact request or waitlist directed to it), or, for agency platform users, with the agency that manages your account.
5.2 With Service Providers. We share limited information with vendors that support cloud hosting, analytics and performance monitoring, customer support, communications, and security. They are contractually restricted to using data only to perform services for Intterra, prohibited from selling or sharing it, and required to keep it confidential and secure.
5.3 Business Transfers. Information may be transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, asset sale, or similar transaction, subject to this Policy.
5.4 Legal Requirements and Safety. We may disclose information to comply with law or legal process, respond to lawful government or law enforcement requests, protect the safety of our users or the public, enforce our terms, or respond to emergencies.
5.5 With Your Consent. We may disclose information for any other purpose you expressly authorize.
6. DATA RETENTION
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes in this Policy. Product-specific notices may set shorter periods.
Agency Data (see Section 2.2) is retained according to each agency’s records retention policies and our agreement with that agency. We may keep information longer where needed to resolve a complaint or dispute, address a reasonably anticipated legal claim, or meet legal, regulatory, tax, or accounting obligations.
7. SECURITY
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encrypted data transmission, access controls, audit logging, and regular security reviews. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by the Services.
8. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Our Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it as soon as reasonably possible. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided personal information may contact us at privacy@intterragroup.com to request deletion.
9. YOUR CHOICES AND RIGHTS

These rights apply to personal information Intterra controls. They do not extend to Agency Data (Section 2.2); please direct those requests to the responsible agency.
Do Not Track. Our apps do not currently respond to browser or device “Do Not Track” signals. Our websites do not track visitors across third-party sites, so we treat each visit the same whether or not a “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signal is sent.
10. California Privacy Rights and Disclosures

It is designed to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), and California’s “Shine the Light” law.

We collect it only with your opt-in consent and use it only to provide the location-based alerts and information you request, which is a permitted purpose under the CPRA. We do not use it to infer characteristics about you, and we do not sell or share it. Because our use is limited this way, a “Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information” link is not required. You can still disable location access at any time.
10.3 No Sale or Sharing. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined under the CPRA, and have not done so in the preceding 12 months. We do not sell or share the personal information of consumers we know to be under 16.
