Thank you for your interest in the “Serengeti Tracker” app. This page explains how any personal data collected in the process of using this application will be stored and used.

Records collected by the application

Submitted records will be stored on a secure server where the partner organisations can access them to aid with ongoing studies in the Serengeti NP. Your records will also be shown to other users of the app. Your details will not be passed on to anyone else.

Tracking data

When recording animals in the Serengeti National Park the app will attempt to track your location. It does this simply by submitting your location periodically in the background. This information enables researchers to estimate effort spent looking for animals, which is an important metric in determining abundance. Without this data the records we receive are much less useful. If the app is inactive for some time you will be asked if you are still on safari. Once you have finished looking for animals simply stop the tracking either by using one of the prompts you will receive or from the menu.

Name

The first time you submit a record, you will need to create an account. This is a quick and easy process and you can either choose to login via an existing Google or Facebook account or you can create a new account using an email address and password. Your name, as specified in the app, will appear with your records and will be publicly viewable.

E-mail address

To create an account you will need to supply your e-mail address. This will only be used in order to validate your account and possibly, to send you occasional relevant information about our projects. You will be able to unsubscribe from these emails at any time.

How long will my data be stored?

Your submitted records will be stored indefinitely and will be used to help the partner organisations work to better understand the fauna within the Serengeti National Park.

Who will have access to my personal data?

No one outside of the partnership organisations will have access to your email address. Unless required by law, data will not be made available to any 3rd parties unless:

· They are directly related to the project; and

· We have obtained your permission to do so.

Third parties may include researchers and professional scientists from outside the partnership.

Deletion of personal data

If you wish to delete your account and/or data submitted to the Serengeti Tracker app please contact hello@natural-apptitude.co.uk
