Privacy & Data Handling
1. Zero IP Logging
UWSC is built on a strict zero-metadata foundation. The Cloudflare Workers edge network that handles ingestion (/ingest) is explicitly configured to discard all incoming IP addresses and fingerprinting data before processing any payload.
2. Client-Side EXIF Stripping
When you attach a photo to an incident report, EXIF metadata (such as GPS coordinates, camera model, and timestamp) is stripped inside your browser. The raw image file never leaves your device. Only the scrubbed image is transmitted to our servers.
3. Quantized Timestamps
To prevent timing correlation attacks, report submission timestamps are quantized. We do not store the exact second a report was filed, reducing the ability of third parties to cross-reference CCTV or depot logs with submission times.
4. Anonymous Architecture
There are no user accounts, no login portals, and no session cookies. UWSC is designed as a one-way anonymous ingestion pipeline.
