1. Information We Collect

Fauna Tracker collects information to help neighbors report and view local wildlife sightings:

• Location Data: When you log a sighting, the app collects location data (coordinates) to place the sighting on the map.

• User Submissions: Sighting details, timestamps, and notes submitted via the app.

• Device & Technical Data: Basic technical data necessary for app functionality and error logging.

2. How We Use Information

We use the collected data solely to:

• Display wildlife activity map markers for neighborhood awareness.

• Ensure data consistency and prevent duplicate report logging.

• Improve app stability and functionality.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Sighting locations dropped on the map are visible to other users of the app to serve the app's primary purpose of community wildlife tracking.

4. Data Security

We implement standard security measures (including data encryption in transit) to protect user submissions.

5. Children's Privacy

Fauna Tracker does not knowingly collect personal identifiers from children under the age of 13 without consent.
