What ArrestIQ stores, and what it doesn’t

What’s stored on your device

ArrestIQ keeps exactly three things in your browser’s local storage. Nothing here is sent to a server — there isn’t one to send it to.

• Scenario progress

  Which scenario and role you started, which scene you’re on, and the decisions you’ve made so far — so “continue where you left off” works if you close the tab. It contains no name, no identifying detail, and nothing you typed, because there is nowhere in the app to type anything.

• “What ArrestIQ is not” acknowledgement

  A single flag recording that you’ve read the five statements shown before you can start a scenario, and confirmed you’re 13 or older. No birthdate or exact age is stored.

• Analytics consent choice

  Whether you were asked and said yes or no to anonymous analytics — see the Analytics section below.

Analytics

ArrestIQ can use Vercel Web Analytics — anonymous, aggregate page-view counts, with no cookies and nothing that identifies you individually — to understand which parts of the site get used. It is off by default, and stays off until you choose “Allow” below. Nothing is sent anywhere until you do.

What Quick exit erases

The Quick exit control, in the top-right corner of every screen, clears all three items above from local storage and immediately replaces the current page in your browser history with a neutral external site — so ArrestIQ does not stay one “back” press away. It does not ask you to confirm first, on purpose.

Server and hosting logs

Like most websites, requests to ArrestIQ pass through hosting infrastructure that may keep ordinary technical logs — things like IP address and request timing — for operating and securing the service. ArrestIQ does not add any logging of its own on top of that, and nothing in the app associates those technical logs with anything you did inside a scenario, which never leaves your device.

Please don’t type real details

ArrestIQ never asks for your name, and there is no field anywhere in the app for free text about a real situation. If something is actually happening to you, this app is the wrong tool — the Help page lists free services that can actually help.
