Images of Humans
Wildlife Insights will not knowingly provide public access to images of humans. It is the responsibility of the data provider to confirm if an image contains a human.
Wildlife Insights provides tools to remove any image containing a human from searches and will provide an option for projects to delete images of humans. Read more about how to delete all images displaying humans from a project. Metadata (e.g., identification, time, location) associated with images of humans will remain publicly available on the platform.
Once a user with project-level permission has confirmed that an image contains a human, Wildlife Insights will:
- Remove the image URL from public downloads
- If the project-level option to delete images of humans is selected, the image will be deleted from the project's storage and replaced with an icon. No user with access to the project will be able to see the image in Wildlife Insights. Data providers and the public will continue to have access to the metadata of the image (i.e., identification, time taken, etc).
- If the project-level option to delete images of humans is not selected, the image will remain stored in the project. Only project owners will have access to view the image. All other roles (i.e., Editor, Vewer) will only have access to view the image metadata.
