Pilot privacy notice
Privacy for the Dragonfly pilot.
Dragonfly is a field app for curious explorers of all ages. People can photograph plants, animals, fungi, and other living things they find outdoors, build a personal Dex, complete nature expeditions, and watch their own Sanctuary grow from real observations.
Accounts and adult management
A parent, guardian, teacher, or group leader manages kid access during the pilot. Kids do not create public accounts, do not sign up with their own email address, and do not use public chat or direct messages inside Dragonfly.
What kid accounts may provide
- Organism photos, such as plants, insects, birds, mushrooms, or other living things.
- Observation location when a field observation is recorded. The Android Internal Testing build is designed around approximate/coarse foreground location.
- Species selection, taxon, or a kid-entered description of what they found.
- Observation timestamp.
- Kid display name or nickname selected for the supervised group.
- Family, classroom, or group membership.
- App progress such as Dex entries, expedition progress, rewards, and Sanctuary state.
What adult accounts may provide
- Email address for account access and pilot communication.
- Display name.
- Group information, such as family or classroom group setup.
- Consent and account-management records needed to run a supervised pilot.
- Basic service logs used for debugging, safety, and security.
How observations may be used
Dragonfly uses observations to make the app work: showing a kid's observation list, filling the Dex, advancing expeditions, unlocking reward moments, supporting adult review, and growing the private Sanctuary scene from real outdoor finds.
Photo bytes are not intended for logs. Operational logs may be used to diagnose failures, protect the service, and understand whether the pilot is working safely.
What Dragonfly does not do
- No ads.
- No selling or renting personal data.
- No public chat.
- No direct messages.
- No public kid profiles.
- No third-party ad SDKs, tracking pixels, or marketing chat widgets on this public site.
iNaturalist status
iNaturalist public submission is pilot-limited and is not enabled by default for the W1 Android Internal Testing pilot. Dragonfly may use iNaturalist to help suggest possible species. Future contribution flows may submit approved observations through a Dragonfly-managed project account or another reviewed adult-mediated process, but the public page should not be read as saying every observation is submitted.
Photo review and moderation status
Moderation is designed to happen asynchronously, after the kid's observation submit flow. During pilot work, review may include adult supervision, operator review, and flagged-photo workflows. Dragonfly does not claim real-time review of every photo.
