Your privacy is critically important to us, so at Forensics 4 Justice Inc., we have a few fundamental principles. If you find the activity of the apps (Election Sign Mapper or Forensic Cases) or content on the website you believe violates our Privacy Policy, please contact us immediately.

We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.


We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.

We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.

Please review this privacy policy periodically because we modify it from time to time. Please take a look at the “LAST UPDATED” legend at the top of this page to see when this Privacy Policy was last revised. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on the Site.

We collect the information you give us when you register on our Site, contact us, or make an online purchase.

If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us of the issue by contacting us in accordance with the “Contacting Us” section below.

6.  ELECTION SIGN MAPPER USERS
Our goal with the App is to assist candidates and community organizing groups, manage their yard signs and determine if their yard signs help them in their campaigns.  
To this end, we solely collect data that will assist in this process. For example, we collect the user's email address to send out the invite to the App. Additionally, we collect data related to the placement of the yard signs. For example, we collect the GPS data of the location of the yard sign and image as well as a timestamp for when the sign was geotagged. This data is required to be collected for a user to utilize the App.
App’s Personally-Identifying Information
Certain users of the Election Sign Mapper App choose to interact with the App in ways that require Forensics 4 Justice to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Forensics 4 Justice gathers depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask users who purchase a “GeoTags Pack” within the App to provide a name, email address, city, state, and zip code.

7.  WEBSITE VISITORS
Like most website operators, Forensic 4 Justice collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring Site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Forensic 4 Justice’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to understand better how Forensic 4 Justice’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Forensic 4 Justice may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Forensic 4 Justice also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on articles published. Forensic 4 Justice only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

8.  AGGREGATED STATISTICS
Forensic 4 Justice may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. For instance, Forensic 4 Justice may monitor the most popular pages and articles on the forensics4justice.org site or use spam screened by the Akismet service to help identify spammers. Forensic 4 Justice may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Forensic 4 Justice does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

9.  BUSINESS TRANSFERS
If Forensics 4 Justice, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Forensics 4 Justice goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that are transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and that any acquirer of Forensics 4 Justice may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
