This Privacy Policy explains how Where The Wild Beasts Roam LLC (“Where The Wild Beasts Roam,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, stores, and protects information when you visit WhereTheWildBeastsRoam.com, create an account, purchase or use the Wildlife Planner, submit wildlife information, contact us, download materials, or otherwise use our websites and related services (collectively, the “Service”).
This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Terms of Use .
The Service is operated by Where The Wild Beasts Roam LLC, an independent wildlife-planning business.
Where The Wild Beasts Roam LLCThe information we collect depends on how you interact with the Service.
You provide information when you create an account, make a purchase, submit wildlife information, send us a message, request support or a refund, provide feedback, or otherwise communicate with us.
When you use the Service, our website and service providers may automatically collect device, browser, log, usage, analytics, and similar information through cookies, pixels, local storage, server logs, and related technologies.
We may receive information from service providers and platforms that help us operate, secure, measure, or market the Service, including payment processors, hosting providers, analytics providers, advertising platforms, email providers, and map or technology providers.
Location access is optional unless location information is required for a particular submission you choose to make.
If you allow location access through your browser or device, the Service may use that information for supported map features or to help record a wildlife observation.
You can generally disable device or browser location permission in your device or browser settings.
Wildlife location information may be treated differently from ordinary public content. Precise coordinates may be retained internally while a broader, generalized, delayed, or obscured location is used publicly to reduce wildlife disturbance, crowding, trespass, or other harm.
We may use information to:
Some areas of the Service may allow users to submit wildlife observations, photographs, comments, reviews, or other User Content.
Content submitted for public display may become visible to other visitors after moderation.
Do not submit information that you do not want handled in accordance with the submission features and our Terms.
Field observations are added after fieldwork, not in real time. Observations may be delayed, generalized, obscured, restricted, withheld, or not published when we believe doing so may better protect wildlife, habitat, landowners, or visitors.
We do not promise a specific publication schedule.
We may reduce the precision of a location, remove or reduce time precision, describe a wider habitat area, or otherwise modify how wildlife-location information appears publicly.
Original submission information may be retained internally when reasonably necessary for moderation, wildlife protection, safety, fraud prevention, operational records, legal compliance, or dispute resolution.
We may use cookies, pixels, local storage, tags, server logs, and similar technologies to operate, secure, understand, and measure the Service.
These may be used for account login, security, fraud prevention, checkout functionality, preferences, and other features necessary to provide the Service.
We may use analytics services, including services such as Google Analytics, to understand website traffic, device information, referral sources, page usage, engagement, route-planning activity, and conversion events.
We may use advertising-platform technologies, including technologies provided by platforms such as Meta, to measure whether advertising resulted in visits, interactions, or purchases and to help evaluate advertising performance.
Depending on the provider, your settings, and our current configuration, those technologies may receive device identifiers, IP address, browser information, page or event information, referral information, and similar online activity data.
We do not disclose full payment-card numbers to analytics or advertising providers.
Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or manage cookies and similar storage.
Blocking essential technologies may prevent account, checkout, map, or other Service features from functioning properly.
We do not sell personal information for money.
We may disclose information in the following circumstances:
We may disclose information to companies that perform services for us, such as:
Information you authorize or submit for public display may be shown publicly after moderation, subject to our wildlife-protection and location-generalization practices.
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:
Information may be disclosed or transferred as part of a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, ownership change, bankruptcy, or similar business transaction.
Some privacy laws define “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” more broadly than an ordinary sale for money. Depending on the law that applies and the technologies in use, disclosure of online activity data to advertising or measurement providers may fall within one of those definitions. Eligible consumers may have opt-out rights as described below.
Payments are processed through third-party payment providers.
Payment-card information may be entered directly into systems operated or secured by those providers.
We may receive transaction-related information such as the order amount, payment status, transaction identifier, billing contact information, and other information needed to provide access, maintain records, prevent fraud, or process refunds.
We do not store complete payment-card numbers on our own servers.
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide the Service, maintain business and transaction records, protect wildlife, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and why we collected it.
For example:
We may retain information longer when reasonably necessary for legal, security, fraud-prevention, dispute, or enforcement purposes.
We may also retain information that has been aggregated, de-identified, or otherwise maintained in a form that is not reasonably linked to you.
You may contact us to request correction or deletion of account information, subject to information we are permitted or required to retain.
You may control device or browser location permissions through your device or browser settings.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe mechanism in the message when available.
Even if you opt out of marketing, we may still send transactional, account, purchase, security, refund, or support communications.
You may manage cookies through browser settings and any privacy or cookie controls made available through the Service.
Depending on where you live and the law that applies to us, you may have rights concerning your personal information.
These rights may include the right to:
You may submit a privacy request by emailing:
support@wherethewildbeastsroam.comYou may also contact us through our website contact page.
Please clearly describe the right you are asking to exercise.
We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity, account, or authority before completing a request.
We will respond in accordance with the law that applies to the request.
Where applicable law permits an authorized agent to submit a request for you, we may require reasonable proof of the agent’s authority and may separately verify your identity.
If applicable law gives you a right to appeal our decision concerning a privacy request, you may reply to our decision or email us with the subject line “Privacy Appeal.”
Some browsers offer a legacy “Do Not Track” signal.
Because there is no uniform industry standard governing the meaning of the legacy Do Not Track signal, the Service does not currently respond to that signal.
Some privacy laws recognize browser-based universal opt-out mechanisms, such as Global Privacy Control, for certain types of processing.
Where we are legally required to recognize an applicable opt-out preference signal, we will treat a qualifying signal as a request to opt out of the processing covered by that law.
These signals are different from the legacy Do Not Track setting.
