Data sources and disclaimers

Data sources and disclaimers

Transparency about data provenance, limitations, and privacy.

Legal disclaimer: SmokeCheck SG provides location-based smoking-prohibition guidance using available map and rule data. Physical signage, current law, and NEA instructions always prevail. This is guidance, not legal advice. SmokeCheck SG does not confirm legality or grant permission.

Data sources

  • OneMap basemap, search, geocoding, and routing services: Address search, reverse geocoding, walking routes, and basemap context are used through server routes.
  • NEA Smoking Prohibition pages and legislation references: Public guidance and Singapore Statutes Online remain the rule reference anchor.
  • Data.gov.sg open datasets (where available and verifiable at build time): Designated areas and no-smoking datasets are used where available, with source caveats preserved.

Data freshness

Freshness warning

Current local data includes 52 designated smoking areas, 1 NEA no-smoking-zone feature, 457 NParks no-smoking locations, and clearly labelled simulated municipal feedback heatmaps.

Privacy

Public mode does not require login. Location data is processed client-side and not stored by default. Officer mode uses authenticated sessions for operational workflows only.

Limitations

Users must be aware of technical limits when operating this tool outdoors:

  1. GPS inaccuracy: High-rise environments can degrade accuracy. Treat the displayed radius as approximate.
  2. Micro-geographies: Fine boundaries near bus stops, entrances, shelters, and queues may require physical-sign confirmation.
  3. Temporary changes: Construction, events, or updated signage may not be reflected immediately.
