ALPR Usage & Privacy Policy

Last updated September 10, 2026

Inter City Public Safety, Inc. ("ICPS," "we," "us") uses Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology to support parking enforcement and property security services at client properties. This policy is published in compliance with California Civil Code sections 1798.90.5, 1798.51, and 1798.53, which govern the use of ALPR technology by private entities in California.

1. What ALPR Technology Is Used For

ICPS uses ALPR technology to support parking enforcement and property security services at client properties. ALPR data is used to:

  • Identify vehicles parked at a client property without authorization
  • Track repeat-offender vehicles across consecutive days at a single site
  • Support the issuance of parking warning notices
  • Coordinate towing of unauthorized vehicles where applicable
  • Provide property owners and managers with documentation of parking enforcement activity

ALPR data is not used for any purpose beyond those listed above, including marketing, resale, or unrelated surveillance.

2. Authorized Access

Access to ALPR data is restricted to:

  • Licensed ICPS security guards on duty at the property where the data was collected
  • ICPS site supervisors and administrators, for review and client reporting

No other individuals or third parties are granted access to ALPR data.

3. System Custodian

Inter City Public Safety, Inc. is the system custodian for all ALPR data described in this policy. Questions may be directed to customerservice@icpublicsafety.com.

4. Data Accuracy

ALPR data (photographs and plate-number readings) is captured from vehicle images at the time of sighting and reviewed by the guard on duty before being recorded. Anyone who believes ALPR data about their vehicle is inaccurate may contact ICPS to request correction or removal.

5. Data Retention and Destruction

ALPR sighting data is retained for a limited period, not to exceed one (1) month from collection, except as described below. At the end of each retention period:

  • A summary report is generated for the client property and retained as their permanent record
  • The underlying raw sighting data is automatically and permanently deleted
  • Data connected to an active dispute or investigation is placed on hold and excluded from deletion until resolved

A record of deletions (date, volume, reason) is maintained for audit purposes.

6. Data Sharing and Sale

ALPR data is never sold. It is shared only with the client property where it was collected, or with law enforcement if legally compelled by subpoena, warrant, or court order.

7. Security Procedures

ICPS maintains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect ALPR data, including role-based access controls, encrypted storage and transmission, and monitoring for unauthorized access.
