Woah! Those features all sound great but you’re totally tracking me through my phone, right?
This app will not track you through your phone. It won’t read your text messages, go through your emails or listen to your calls. We take your privacy seriously. We can’t track you through the VicPD app, and we wouldn’t track you through the app either. We completed a Privacy Impact Assessment on the application when we first launched our app in 2014 and had privacy experts both inside and outside our organization take a look at what we’re doing and how the application accesses data, what data it accesses and more. The application has been specifically designed so that neither ourselves or the vendor we worked with to create it can access your information.
One of the programs that you can access through the VicPD app will ask you for personal information, like your name and date of birth, when you report a crime. While it was not required to do a Privacy Impact Assessment on this tool when it first launched (it’s the same tool we use to take crime reports online, too) we completed one on this tool as well.
How much did this all cost?
VicPD Connect is free. This version of the app was developed in-house at a significant cost savings to the Department. The VicPD app costs the Victoria Police Department $950 annually in hosting fees.
