Accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of information

Ocean Wise Conservation Association will not be held responsible if alerts generated by the Whale Report Alert System are not accurate, complete, or current. The alerts generated by the Whale Report Alert System are based on opportunistic observations by the public. The absence of an alert in an area does not mean that whales are absent. As such, alerts should not be relied upon or used as the sole basis for making decisions and the user is responsible for maintaining vigilance at all times on the water. Any reliance on the Whale Report Alert System is at the risk of the user.

Your submission of personal information through the Whale Report Alert System is governed by our Privacy Policy outlined above.

Données de localisation

In order for the Whale Report Alert System to send users alerts of whales in their vicinity, the app tracks mobile users’ locations when the logged in to the app and tracking is activated. These user location data may be used for internal research purposes to understand the efficacy of the Whale Report Alert System but are anonymized to ensure user privacy. Users should always start and stop tracking at the beginning and end of each trip to ensure location data are not being collected outside of the user’s need for the Whale Report Alert System during marine operations. Logging out of the app can be done from the main menu at the top left of the screen.
