4) USER CONTENT AND WILDLIFE LOCATIONS

The Service allows users to submit wildlife sightings and related content.

Public content

Some submissions may appear publicly on the Service depending on moderation decisions and visibility settings.

Users should avoid posting precise wildlife locations that could endanger animals or violate park rules.

Delayed publishing

To help protect wildlife and reduce disturbance:

  • wildlife sightings are not published in real time

  • additional delays may be applied when necessary

Location generalization

We may generalize or obscure precise location data to protect wildlife or reduce crowding near sensitive habitats.

We may retain original submission data internally for moderation, safety, operational needs, or compliance with legal requests.

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information only in limited circumstances:

  • with service providers that help operate the website (hosting, analytics, email services)
  • with map or technology providers necessary for the Service
  • to comply with legal obligations or lawful requests
