Executive Privacy Statement: At Zoo Explorer: Wildlife Safari, your personal privacy and digital safety are paramount. This comprehensive Privacy Policy sets forth our policies regarding the collection, processing, storage, and disclosure of personal data when you interact with our mobile application. We operate under strict principles of transparency, data minimization, and compliance with the Google Play Developer Policy 2026, Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Application (App): Refers to Zoo Explorer: Wildlife Safari (Package: com.wildlife.zooexplorer).
Personal Data: Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Usage Data: Data collected automatically, either generated by the use of the App or from the App infrastructure itself (such as duration of screen visits, quiz engagement, or crash reports).
Device Permissions: OS-level authorizations requested by the App to access hardware modules like Camera, Location, or Storage.
AR Core & 3D Assets: Augmented Reality modules powered by Google ARCore for displaying interactive 3D animals.
Our App asks for explicit device permissions strictly to render interactive features. We do not sell, track, or misuse permission-derived data:
Feature Integration: Powers the AR Animal 3D Photo Studio and Wildlife Snapshot Camera.
Data Handling & Security: Camera video frames are rendered in real time on your local device display to overlay 3D animal models using Google ARCore. Camera feeds are processed 100% locally on-device. No live video streams or camera imagery are recorded, saved in background, or transmitted to any external server.
Feature Integration: Calculates distance and directional information to Indian Wildlife Sanctuaries & National Parks (e.g., Kaziranga, Ranthambore, Gir Forest).
Data Handling & Security: GPS coordinates are processed ephemerally on-device to sort sanctuaries by physical proximity. Location data is never stored in persistent databases or tracked while the App is closed.
Feature Integration: Allows users to save captured 3D AR animal photos directly to their phone’s photo album.
Data Handling & Security: Access is limited strictly to writing user-initiated AR snapshot image files to external storage. The App does not inspect or upload existing personal photos.
Feature Integration: Powers the Audio Safari Guided Tour and Animal Sounds Challenge Game.
Data Handling & Security: Audio documentary narrations use system Text-To-Speech synthesis engines or local MP3 clips. No microphone audio is continuously recorded or transmitted.
Feature Integration: Delivers daily wildlife mystery sound challenges, streak milestone alerts, and trophy badge achievements. Notifications can be disabled at any time in system settings.
