Privacy Policy

Kawartha Conservation is committed to providing our users with information and services in a manner that respects and protects their privacy. This page summarizes the privacy practices for use of the The Talking Forest Mobile App.

GPS Location Monitoring

This app collects location data to enable audio recordings to be played when a specific location is reached, even when the app is closed or not in use. During visits to our parks, the app uses non-identifiable GPS information to trigger events such as audio playback at waypoints. The GPS data is stored locally. We will also ask the user for permission to use GPS location when the app is first used. If any location data is stored on the server, it will be anonymous and prompt the user to ask whether they would like to opt-in to anonymous data collection.

Suitable Age Groups

While this application is designed to be installed and used by users who are over the age of 18, the content of the stories to be played back is intended to be suitable for all ages.

Internet Data Usage

When trails are download, data usage charges from your provider may apply.

Google Play Store Privacy Policies

The app can be obtained through the Google Play store, to which their own privacy policies may also apply.
