Privacy & Safety

Adda Alert is operated as a citizen reporting and civic safety platform. It is not an official police website unless expressly stated through formal authorisation. Adda Alert is not an emergency service and is not a substitute for filing an official police complaint, FIR, or legal report.

Reports are designed to avoid collecting personal identity by default. For your safety and privacy, please do not include your name, phone number, personal address, or details that can identify you in the notes or photo.

Reports are reviewed to identify patterns, assess seriousness, reduce duplicates, and escalate serious alerts to relevant authorities where appropriate.

Public users cannot browse individual reports. The public status lookup only shows limited non-sensitive information — report code, category, district / city, submitted date, current status, last updated date, and a public note if a reviewer has added one.

Photos, exact GPS, full notes, landmarks, private admin notes, the reporter's identity, and any details about alleged offenders are never shown publicly.

Public trends only show district / city-level aggregate counts after review, with a 24-hour delay.

Submitting an alert does not guarantee police action, investigation, FIR registration, or any legal outcome. All submissions are unverified citizen alerts until reviewed. A submission is not legal proof of any wrongdoing.

While the platform is designed to avoid collecting identifying information by default, no online platform can promise absolute technical or legal untraceability. Please use good judgement and do not include details that can identify you.

For privacy questions or deletion requests, contact: contact@addaalert.com.

Reports may be retained for review, pattern analysis, abuse prevention, and civic safety documentation. A formal retention period will be published soon.

• Do not submit your own personal identity details in notes or photos.
