StateWatch Live

Terms of Service and Privacy Policy · Version 2026-09-26 · Back to the map

1. Who we are

StateWatch Live is a service of FinTech Data Solutions, Kansas, United States ("we", "us"). "StateWatch Live" is the name you will see on this site, at checkout, on receipts and on your card statement.

2. What the service is

StateWatch Live gathers public information about immigration-enforcement activity in the United States from news outlets, official government releases and public social-media posts, organizes it by state and town, shows it on a map and in a feed, and can send you a notification for towns you choose. Every item links to the public source it came from and carries a confidence label. "Possible next stops" are estimates produced by software from the pattern of public reports; they are not observations and not confirmed events.

All information on this service is public information gathered from third-party sources. It is not to be taken as fact. We do not create, verify, confirm or vouch for any report. Reports may be inaccurate, outdated, incomplete or false. You are responsible for how you use it.

3. What the service is not

4. Acceptable use

You may use the service only for lawful purposes: personal awareness, community information and journalism. You may not use it to obstruct, interfere with or evade lawful law-enforcement activity, to threaten or harass anyone, or to identify individual officers. You may not resell, scrape, redistribute or automate access to the service, and you may not share your login. Accounts that violate these rules may be closed without refund.

5. Accounts and devices

You need an account with a verified email address. Each account may be signed in on at most two devices at a time; signing in on a third device requires removing one. You are responsible for keeping your password private.

6. Membership and payment

Access requires a yearly membership: $50 per month, paid once for the full year ($600.00) at checkout, in U.S. dollars, through our payment processor (Square). Memberships do not renew automatically; we email you before the year ends. All purchases are final. No refunds are given for any reason, including non-use, dissatisfaction, account closure for violating these Terms, or changes to the service, except only where a refund is required by applicable law. Prices may change for future years; a change never affects a year you have already paid for.

7. No warranty; limitation of liability

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, timeliness, completeness or fitness for a particular purpose. Public reports can be wrong, late or incomplete, and estimates can be wrong. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from your use of or reliance on the service, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the membership fee you paid for the year in which the claim arose.

8. Changes and termination

We may change, suspend or discontinue the service or any part of it at any time. We may update these Terms; continued use after a change means you accept the new version. The version you accepted is recorded on your account.

9. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Kansas and applicable federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Kansas.

10. Contact

Questions about these Terms or your account: use the support email shown on your receipt.
