Open source (AGPLv3)
Public source code, no vendor relationship required. Often a procurement preference for public bodies.

Documentation for public bodies, without a vendor relationship
Public works departments document winter service against a different set of expectations: citizen accountability, employee data protection scrutiny, and procurement criteria that often favour open-source and on-premise options. Wintertrace is structurally aligned with all three.
Four contexts
The pressures that shape public-sector software choices.
- Citizen inquiries: "did anyone clear my street?"
- Internal accountability across shifts and depots
- Employee data protection taken seriously by the works council
- Procurement criteria favour open-source and on-premise options
What aligns
Self-hosted on standard infrastructure
Runs on the municipality's own servers. No data leaves the controlled environment.
Data protection tools
Anonymisation of driver data, configurable retention, immutable consent records, audit trail.
PDF service proof
Citizen inquiries get a documented, time-stamped answer with GPS track and weather data.
For the data protection officer
Wintertrace's data protection tooling is part of the core software, not a paid module. That includes consent records with the exact shown text, version tracking, immutable timestamps, configurable retention per data category, driver-data anonymisation, and a full ZIP export for subject access requests.
The compliance page sets out what Wintertrace does — and does not — claim about regulatory frameworks. None of this constitutes legal advice.
