Privacy & analytics

Jungle Jaunt offers optional Google Analytics to understand visits to its public wildlife and destination pages. Analytics starts only after you choose “Allow analytics”. Declining does not affect your ability to use the site.

What analytics measures

Google Analytics measures public page visits and basic browser and device information. It uses cookies to distinguish visits. We do not send trip details, shared trip tokens, form contents, search queries, names or email addresses through this integration. Advertising features and automatic form measurement are disabled.

Your choice

Use “Cookie settings” at the bottom of public pages to change your choice. Declining stops future measurement in this browser and removes the Analytics cookies we can access. Your choice is stored in this browser. It does not delete data already processed by Google.

Google’s processing

Google processes analytics data under its own policies. Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Community profiles and photographs

Your member handle, chosen display name, bio and broad region are public after you create a member profile. Approved public photographs and comments are visible to visitors. Participant-only photographs require accepted trip membership. Only me photographs appear in your personal archive and are excluded from discovery, public portfolios, trip collections and sharing. Authorised administrators retain access for review and support. Your Google email, private trip records, report identity and original image evidence are not public.

New uploads default to Only me. You can change a photograph’s audience in its owner controls. Moving it to Only me restricts access immediately. A request to share publicly or with trip participants requires publication review. Existing photographs keep their selected audience unless you change it.

JJ retains uploaded sources, including photographs attached to comments, and requested evidence for moderation and appeals. Member display copies omit capture metadata, are reduced in resolution and include photographer watermarks; source downloads can include location and device metadata and are limited to you and administrators. Withdrawing a photograph hides it from publication while retaining evidence and review records. Permanent deletion and timed evidence retention are not yet implemented in this draft.

Follows, photo and editorial-study saves, blocks, trip memberships, attendance and opt-in organiser update preferences are stored in the application database. Update preferences in My Trips. This draft records consent but sends no marketing messages. Community, photo, member and private workspace routes are excluded from optional analytics.

Essential website data

Sign-in and trip features use essential storage to operate. Those features are separate from optional analytics.

Likes, reshares and private messages

JJ stores likes and reshares against the original photograph. Reshares appear in a member’s Reshares tab and can bring the original photograph into followers’ feeds. Public like totals are based on recorded activity by active accounts.

Direct conversations are available to their two members. Mutual followers can chat directly. Other conversations begin with a message request. Blocking stops conversation access and further messages between those accounts. JJ stores message text, shared public photograph references and private unread markers. A shared photograph remains subject to its current publication and access rules.

If you report a direct message, administrators can review that reported message and your explanation. Message reports and moderation decisions are retained for review. This draft does not offer end-to-end encryption, permanent message deletion or automatic message expiry.
