Your privacy
Privacy Policy
This policy explains what Wildlife Encyclopedia collects, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Overview
Wildlife Encyclopedia (https://www.wildlifedb.com) is a general-audience wildlife reference. We take privacy seriously and keep data collection to what is needed to run and improve the site.
Who we are
The site is operated independently under the name Wildlife Encyclopedia. For privacy questions, contact us at nguyentruongan0919@gmail.com or visit our contact page.
Information we collect
Information you send us
If you email us, we receive whatever you choose to share (your email address, message content, and any attachments). We use that information only to respond and improve the site.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting and analytics providers may log technical data such as browser type, device type, general location (city/country level), pages visited, and referring URL. We do not ask visitors to create accounts or submit personal profiles to read animal pages.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
We may show ads from Google AdSense or similar networks to help support the site. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites, but we defer those ad scripts until you give consent on this site.

Affiliate links
Some pages may include affiliate links (for example, to books or educational products). If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate partners may use their own cookies; their policies apply when you leave our site.
Third-party content and links
Animal photos may be hosted or linked from services such as Wikimedia Commons. External sites we link to (museums, conservation groups, stores) have separate privacy practices. We are not responsible for those third-party policies.
Privacy settings
You can change your optional analytics and advertising preference here at any time.

Turning consent off after it was previously allowed reloads the page so optional third-party scripts stop loading on the next view.
How we use information
- operate and secure the website;
- understand which pages are useful;
- fix errors and improve content;
- respond to messages you send us;
- comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information.
Data retention
Server logs are kept only as long as needed for security and analytics, then rotated or deleted according to our hosting provider's schedule. Email correspondence is kept only as long as needed to handle your request.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. Email nguyentruongan0919@gmail.com to make a request. We may need to verify your identity before acting on it.
International visitors
The site is published in English and may be accessed worldwide. Data may be processed in countries where our hosting and service providers operate, including the United States.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date in the hero will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the revised policy.
