Questions concerning privacy or the use of personal information may be sent to:
Information processed by the website
The public website does not require an account and does not ask visitors to register.
When you visit the website, the hosting infrastructure may automatically process limited technical information, including:
- your Internet Protocol address;
- the date and time of the request;
- the page or file requested;
- browser and device information;
- technical information needed to detect errors, misuse or security incidents.
This information may appear in standard server logs. It is not used by this website to create advertising profiles or to identify visitors for marketing purposes.
Future Warrant Check
The Future Warrant Check asks for a first name or alias, year of birth and country of origin. It may also accept an optional photograph.
These details are processed locally by JavaScript inside your web browser. They are used only to generate the fictional scan result and downloadable temporal warrant.
The form does not submit this information to the website. The information is not added to the website database and is not intentionally transmitted to or stored on the server.
Photographs
Uploading a photograph to the Future Warrant Check is optional.
The selected image is read locally by your browser and is used to display and generate the downloadable warrant. The photograph is not uploaded to the website server.
The locally processed image is removed when the page is refreshed, closed or reset. A downloaded warrant remains on your own device and is under your control.
You should upload only a photograph of yourself or an image that you have permission to use.
Purpose and lawful basis
Limited technical information may be processed where necessary to deliver the website, maintain security, diagnose faults and prevent misuse.
Where applicable, this processing is based on the operator’s legitimate interests in operating and protecting the website.
Information entered into the Future Warrant Check is processed locally at your request for the purpose of generating the result you selected.
Cookies and local storage
The public website does not use advertising or behavioural tracking cookies.
A temporary browser storage entry may be used to remember that an informational cookie notice has been dismissed during the current browser session.
The restricted administrative system uses a session mechanism that is necessary for authentication and security.
Further information is provided in the Cookie Policy.
Sharing of information
The website does not sell visitor information.
Limited technical information may be processed by the hosting provider where this is necessary to host the website, provide network security or maintain server logs.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law or where reasonably necessary to protect the website, visitors or the rights of another person.
Retention
The website does not retain information entered into the Future Warrant Check.
Technical server logs may be retained for a limited period where necessary for hosting, security, fault diagnosis or legal compliance. Retention may also depend on the configuration and policies of the hosting provider.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances and applicable data protection law, you may have rights concerning personal information held about you, including the right to:
- request access to your personal information;
- request correction of inaccurate information;
- request deletion in certain circumstances;
- object to or restrict certain processing;
- complain to the relevant data protection supervisory authority.
Because the public generator does not transmit or store the information entered into it, the website operator cannot retrieve a photograph or generated warrant that exists only on your device.
Children and information about other people
The website is not designed to collect personal information from children.
Visitors should not enter sensitive information about another person or use another person’s photograph without their permission.
External links
The website may contain links to other websites. Their operators are responsible for their own privacy practices, content and security.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the website changes or when clarification is required. The date shown at the top of this document identifies the current version.
