# Your Data & Privacy

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](/legal-and-compliance/legal-disclaimers-and-compliance-information.md).

## 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](/faqs/gps.md)).
* **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](/faqs/sharing-traps.md) and [User Levels](/faqs/sharing-traps/user-levels.md).
* 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](/account-and-billing/account-deletion.md).
* 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](/legal-and-compliance/legal-disclaimers-and-compliance-information.md).

***

## Managing & Deleting Your Data

* **Delete individual images** you no longer want — see [Deleting an Image](/getting-started/app/deleting-an-image.md).
* **Delete your account and associated data** — see [Account Deletion](/account-and-billing/account-deletion.md).

***

## 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](/legal-and-compliance/legal-disclaimers-and-compliance-information.md).
