Welcome to tigervslion.com ("we", "our", or "us"). We operate an educational wildlife encyclopedia and interactive biometric simulation tool. We are dedicated to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and security of any personal information our visitors choose to share with us.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal data necessary to maintain site performance and respond to inquiries:

  • Voluntary Communications: If you contact us through our contact form or direct email, we collect your name, email address, inquiry topic, and message body to fulfill your request.
  • Automated Log & Device Data: Like most web platforms, our servers automatically log standard network data, including browser type, operating system, IP address (anonymized), referral sources, and pages viewed.
  • Local Preferences: We use client-side local storage exclusively to preserve non-identifiable user preferences, such as selected animals in comparison simulators.

3. Cookies & Analytics

We may utilize first-party or third-party cookies (such as privacy-oriented web analytics) to assess aggregate traffic patterns, diagnose technical issues, and improve encyclopedia speed. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or notify you when a cookie is sent.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Any data collected is used solely to:

  • Deliver, operate, and optimize the interactive simulator and encyclopedia pages.
  • Respond to zoological queries, corrections, and academic correspondence.
  • Prevent abuse, combat spam, and secure server integrity.

5. Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to external sites, including academic papers, conservation organizations (such as the IUCN, WWF, and Global Tiger Forum), and video resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party domains.

6. Children's Online Privacy Protection (COPPA / GDPR-K)

tigervslion.com is an educational website suitable for general audiences and wildlife students. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13.
