Privacy policy
How the guide handles visits, local sightings and email inquiries.
Browsing the guide
You can use the guide without an account. When you open a page, the hosting infrastructure processes technical request information, such as your IP address and the requested URL, to deliver the site. Site images, fonts, styles and scripts load from the site itself.
Field Notes and backups
When you save a sighting in Field Notes, its bird name, date, place description and notes are saved in your browser's local storage. The tool does not request your device location or upload your records. You can use a backup to copy sightings to another browser or device.
You can edit or delete individual sightings in Field Notes. Clearing this site's browser storage removes the local log. Export creates a JSON file that can include your place descriptions and notes. Keep that file somewhere you trust. Import reads the file in your browser and adds records with new IDs. Clearing the log does not delete any backup files you downloaded.
Contact drafts and email
The contact page can check your draft in the browser. The form does not send or store the draft. If you send an email separately, we receive your email address and any information you include. We use it to respond and handle your inquiry. Please include only information relevant to your request.
External links
Source, photo-credit and Google help links take you to other websites. Those sites handle your visit under their own privacy policies.
Advertising and analytics
The guide currently displays no ads and includes no analytics or tracking scripts. If we introduce Google advertising, we will update this policy to explain what information is used or shared and the choices available to visitors. Google provides ad personalization settings and explains how it uses information from sites and apps that use its services.
Privacy requests
For a privacy question or a request about personal information you sent by email, write to [email protected]. Use the controls in Field Notes or your browser to manage locally saved sightings. We cannot access those records remotely.
