Privacy Policy

The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service collects personally identifiable information, such as your email address, name, home or work address, or telephone number. The TTPS also collects anonymous demographic information which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favourites.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by the TTPS. This information can include:

• Your IP address and browser type
• Domain names and access times
• Referring website addresses

This information is used by the TTPS for the operation of its services, to maintain service quality, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the TTPS website.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through TTPS public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: The TTPS does not read any of your private online communications.

The TTPS encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from our site so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. The TTPS is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the TTPS family of websites.

The TTPS collects and uses your personal information to operate the TTPS website and deliver the services you have requested. The TTPS may also use your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available, and may contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or potential new services.

The TTPS does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties.

The TTPS may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (email, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party.

The TTPS may share data with trusted partners to help perform statistical analysis, send email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

The TTPS does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

The TTPS website will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

• Conform to the requirements of the law or comply with legal process served on the TTPS or the site
• Protect and defend the rights or property of the TTPS
• Act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of TTPS services, or the public

The TTPS website uses "cookies" to help personalise your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalise TTPS pages or register with TTPS services, a cookie helps the TTPS recall your specific information on subsequent visits.

The TTPS secures your personal information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. Personal information is stored on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorised access, use or disclosure.

When personal information is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

The TTPS will occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect organisational changes and customer feedback. The TTPS encourages you to periodically review this policy to be informed of how your information is being protected.

The TTPS welcomes your comments regarding this Privacy Policy. If you believe that the TTPS has not adhered to this policy, or if you have questions about how your personal information is handled, please contact us.
