Privacy

Every request, published.

Police, courts and cities ask us for data. This is all of it: what was asked, who asked, and what happened. Every row is a committed file and the date is stamped by the build.

Nobody has asked us for anything yet. That is because no pylon is installed, not because we turned anyone away.

The table above is live and empty on purpose. It exists before the first request rather than after the first awkward question, because a record that appears under pressure is not a record.

02 / The gag count

What we cannot show you, counted

Some requests come with a court order forbidding us to say they exist. We count those above. We never list them, not even as a blacked-out row.

A blacked-out row shows two things: that a request came in, and about when. That is usually the exact thing the order bans. A number shows neither.

When a gag lifts, the full row shows up here, backdated to the day the request came in and marked disclosed late. Nothing disappears.

03 / The canary

Where the build date comes from

Transparency log built on . Requests now held under court order: 0. Forge Core has never received a secret order we are not allowed to talk about. No one has ever asked us to build a tool that tracks one vehicle or person.

The date and the counts on this page are generated every time the site is built. Nobody types them. If that date stops moving, something stopped running, and you should ask us why.

04 / The limits

If you want more than we can give you

Public records law does not apply to us. It applies to government bodies: the agency that asked, or the court that signed the order. Sealed records often stay sealed until a judge unseals them. So that route can come back empty. We would rather say so than let you think we are the one blocking you.
