Your Data & Privacy

What data OcuTrap collects, who can see it, and how to manage or delete it.

This page explains, in plain terms, what information your OcuTrap collects and the controls you have over it. For the full legal text, see the Privacy Policy and Data Use Policy, linked from Legal Disclaimers & Compliance Information.

What OcuTrap Collects

To do its job, your trap and the OcuTrap app handle:

  • Images — capture photos and, if enabled, timelapse images from the trap's camera.
  • Location — GPS position of the trap (see GPS).
  • Device & sensor data — battery level, temperature/humidity, door state, connectivity, and similar status used to keep the trap running and to send you alerts.
  • Account information — the details you provide when you create and manage your account.

Who Can See Your Data

  • You, as the account owner.
  • People you share traps with. When you share a trap, the recipient can see that trap's data according to their user level. See Sharing Traps and User Levels.
  • Sharing is under your control — you choose who to add and can manage access at any time.

Data Retention

  • While your account is active, your captures, images, and trap data remain available in the OcuTrap app so you can review past events and trends.
  • You stay in control. You can remove individual images whenever you like (see below); deleted images are removed from your account.
  • When you delete your account, your associated data is removed. See Account Deletion.
  • Your data is stored securely in the cloud and protected both in transit and at rest. For the complete, authoritative terms, see our Privacy Policy.

Managing & Deleting Your Data

Image Recognition

OcuTrap uses automated image recognition to help identify captures. How that works and how the resulting data is handled is described in our Animal Recognition Policy, linked from Legal Disclaimers & Compliance Information.
