FROM THE NEW CROTON.NEWS SITE--THE PRIVACY POLICY FOR CROTON'S PARKING DATABASE IS ONE PARAGRAPH AND NOTHING LINKS TO IT

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton-on-Hudson: our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.



Continuing coverage: this is the second part of our reporting on license plate readers in Croton. The first, Croton's license plate readers feed a county database that is now being sued, covered the police system and the lawsuit over the county database behind it.

Apply for a Croton train-station parking permit and you will hand over your name, your home address, two phone numbers and the license plates of up to four cars, each checked against its DMV registration. At no point in that process are you shown a privacy statement.
