For child safety
Seek doesn't require registration and doesn't collect any user data by default. If you choose to log in with an iNaturalist account, some user data will be collected. But you must be over 13 years old or have your parent's permission.
Seek will request permission to turn on location services. But your location is obscured to respect your privacy while still being able to provide species information for your general area. Your exact location won't be stored in the app or sent to iNaturalist unless you log in to your iNaturalist account and submit your observations.
Our image recognition technology is based on observations submitted to iNaturalist.org and partner websites and is verified by the iNaturalist community.
