Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026. This page explains what data PeakCrime collects, why, and the choices you have.
Cookies We Use
CategoryPurposeCan you opt out?
EssentialRemembers your cookie choice and your black/maroon theme preference. Required for the site to function correctly.No — these aren't tracking, just local preferences.
AnalyticsGoogle Analytics (gtag.js). Helps us understand which pages are used and improve the site.Yes — reject or disable anytime via "Cookie Preferences" in the footer.
We use Google Consent Mode: analytics cookies are not set at all until you actively choose "Accept All." Choosing "Reject Non-Essential" keeps analytics storage denied.
What We Collect
If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics may collect standard web analytics data: pages visited, approximate location (country/region level), device/browser type, and referring site. We do not collect names, emails, or any other directly identifying information through this site, and we do not sell any data.
Your Choices
• Change your cookie choice anytime via the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of any page.
• Your choice is stored locally in your browser for 12 months, after which you'll be asked again.
• You can also block cookies entirely through your browser's privacy settings.
GDPR / CCPA
If you are located in the EEA/UK, our legal basis for analytics cookies is your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time via Cookie Preferences. If you are a California resident, you have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA — rejecting non-essential cookies on this site accomplishes that, since no data is shared with third parties beyond standard Google Analytics processing.
