WildScout

Privacy

Last updated: July 2026. WildScout is in development and not yet released; this policy will be updated before launch.

Your location never leaves your device precisely

WildScout can use your location to work out how rare an animal is where you are. Your exact coordinates stay on your phone. If a capture is ever shared, only a deliberately coarsened location is sent — accurate to roughly the nearest 25 kilometres, never to your home.

This protects two things: you, and the animal. Publishing the precise location of a rare species is a poaching risk, which is why naturalist platforms obscure them too.

Photos

When you tag an animal, the photo is sent to an identification service to work out the species, and is stored on your device. Photos are not used to train any model.

No account

WildScout does not require an account and does not ask for your name, email or phone number.
