Privacy
How the Town of Talala uses information collected through this website and the Talala PD eCitation app.
This website is published by the Town of Talala, Oklahoma. We collect only what you choose to send — for example a Community Center request or an alert signup that opens your email to [email protected]. Those messages are handled as Town correspondence.
Citation and deposit payments are processed by the Town’s payment vendor (CP Teller). The Town does not see your full card number on this website.
This site does not use advertising cookies. Server logs used to operate the site may include IP address, browser type, and pages requested.
Open records are not fulfilled by email. See records requests.

Talala PD eCitation (iPhone and iPad app)
Talala PD eCitation is a restricted app for authorized Talala Police Department officers and staff (Town of Talala, Oklahoma). It is not for public use. Public citation payment and open-records requests are handled on this website, not inside the app.
Sign-in. Officers sign in with a Town of Talala Microsoft account through Cloudflare Access. The signed-in officer’s identity (email and roster profile such as name and badge) is used to authorize the app and to attribute citations.
Citation and subject information. When officers create or sync a citation, information needed for the municipal ticket is sent to the Town’s staff eCitation server over HTTPS (staff.talalaok.gov), including:
- Subject name, date of birth, address, phone, email (if entered), employer (if entered), and Social Security number only if the officer enters it (the app labels SSN as “only if the court requires it”)
- Driver license details (number, state, class, and related fields), including data captured from a barcode or camera scan
- Vehicle information, charges/ordinances, notes, and offense location description
- Precise GPS location when recording where the offense occurred (location permission is when-in-use)
- Photos (evidence / scene / license images) and signatures (officer and defendant, or a recorded refusal)
- When the subject is marked juvenile, parent/guardian name, address, and phone as entered
That information is linked to the citation and to the signed-in officer for law-enforcement and court purposes. Issued citation packages may include XML export for the Town’s court records process (ODIS CitationImport) when the department processes or delivers tickets.
Device information. The iOS app stores a device identifier in the Keychain and sends device id, name, model, iOS version, and app build on API requests so the department can tell which device issued or edited a ticket. This is not used for advertising.
Offline use. Drafts, photos, and signatures may be stored on the device until they sync to the staff server when connectivity returns.
Printing. When officers print a defendant copy, the app may use Bluetooth to connect to a paired Brother mobile printer. Print content is the citation being printed.
Tracking and advertising. The app’s PrivacyInfo declares tracking off (NSPrivacyTracking false; no tracking domains listed). The Town does not use the eCitation app for advertising.
Records. Citation records are kept for law-enforcement and court use. Retention and release follow applicable Town and Oklahoma records rules (including open-records procedures). This page does not set a separate public retention schedule. Open records are not fulfilled by email — see records requests.
Questions about the app: [email protected] or 918-553-5535 (or your supervisor / the Chief for department personnel).
