Using this platform as a
user implies an agreement to the following Privacy Policy and Terms &
Conditions of Use.
The Granollers Museum of
Natural Sciences (referred to from now on as MCNG) complies with its
obligations as a data controller. For any questions, you can get in touch
through:

Personal or institutional data provided through this website will be included in a file owned by the MCNG. Contact details will only be used to a) keep you informed through the project’s e-newsletter, b) contact you regarding one of your observations, or c) send you third-party requests to use your data.
Personal data will not be transferred to third parties without previous consent except when the current legislation allows it. Access, rectification, suppression, opposition and limitation rights can be exercised in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
When entering any data, users/owners will have to assign a level of privacy, which can only be modified by the owner or the database manager with the owner’s express consent. In this regard, two types of data are established, public and private, managed according to the following guidelines:
2.1 Public data, which
is regulated by the following administration, visualisation, and sharing
guidelines:
§ 2.1.1. Sharing
with Catalan autonomous and local administrations:
Public data collected in the Catalan range will be shared with the Catalan public administration without the owner’s express authorisation as long as it is solely used for management and conservation. Any other use of the data related to publication or scientific or academic exploitation will require the owner’s explicit approval.
§ 2.1.2. Sharing
data collected in Catalonia with other physical or juridical individuals:
Public data collected in
the Catalan range will be shared with public or private entities not included
in section 2.1.1. when its use is strictly linked to environmental management,
upon request with revocation right by the owner. Two weeks after the request,
the data for which there is no express refusal of permission to use by the
owner will be shared. This process also includes any other purpose related to
the publication or scientific or academic exploitation of the data.
§ 2.1.3. Sharing
of data from other geographical areas with Institutions or private entities:
Public data collected
outside the Catalan range or requested by individuals or entities not
established in Catalonia will only be shared after the owner’s express approval,
who will be duly informed about the requesting entity and the intended use of
the data. The owner’s silence in any petition will be taken as a refusal of the
requested use.
§ 2.1.3. Data
summary display (maps, graphs and tables) of the portal:
Public data will be
displayed in several cartographic, graphic and numeric displays available on
the portal. The displayed resolution of the data will be conditioned by the
species’ sensitivity and the nature or origin of said data. Species included in
threatened species catalogues will be displayed in a lower resolution to avoid
showing their exact location. Roost data (either caves, bat boxes or others)
will always be shown in low resolution, making it impossible to extract the
exact locations.
2.2 Private data, which is regulated by the
following administration, visualisation, and sharing guidelines:
§ 2.2.1. Sharing with any public or private entity or
individuals, regardless of their geographical and competence scope:
Private
data will only be shared if there is express approval from its owner. The
portal solely acts as a mediator between the requester and the data owner.
§ 2.2.2 Data
summary display (maps, graphs and tables) of the portal:
Private data will not be
publicly displayed on the portal. Only the owner can view them by accessing the
portal using their registered user.
By participating in this project, you
allow us to store and manage your observations in accordance with the
provisions of points 2.1 and 2.2 of this regulation.
Authorship is an intrinsic part of every
observation, and consequently, both on www.batmonitoring.org and on other
viewers and information channels linked to this project, the owner’s name may
be associated with their observations and, therefore, be visible to the general
public when the data is public. On the other hand, the owner’s name may appear
in sections, statistical rankings, or different types of queries/visualisations.
Observations concerning species included
in national or regional threatened fauna catalogues, even when explicitly
stated as “public”, will not be visible to other website users. The rest of the
public data, as well as the coordinates of the locations where the observations
were made, may be consulted by other website users.
The data and observations provided by the
owners/users are of a scientific nature, so any data sent to www.batmonitoring.org
will be integrated into the database that the MCNG undertakes to keep
accessible and functional for an indefinite period of time
.
The MCNG reserves the right to modify or adapt this Privacy Policy to future requirements or needs that may arise, being obliged to communicate it to all users/owners and without the changes resulting in a temporary loss of data privacy in accordance with the policy at the time they were introduced on the portal. If you do not agree with any of the changes made to our Privacy Policy, you can unsubscribe by contacting us at the address indicated above.
Unless explicitly authorised by the MCNG, the content of this website cannot be reproduced, transmitted, or exploited in any way except for educational or strictly personal use and under no circumstances for commercial purposes. The content must always maintain the authors’ rights and other ownership notices unchanged.
3.1. Although the MCNG puts its maximum effort into ensuring the precision and accuracy of the content of this website, it might contain errors or inaccuracies. Consequently, we do not guarantee its content’s truthfulness, reliability, or accuracy.
3.2. The MCNG is not responsible for information on third-party websites connected by links to www.batmonitoring.org.
3.3. Under any circumstances, the MCNG will be held responsible for any damages or losses of any type from or related to the use of this webpage.
3.4. The MCNG shall be compensated against any damages or losses resulting from the user’s breach of these conditions or the use of the content without prior authorisation.
Divisibility
If any provision of these conditions is or becomes invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it would only be invalid in this matter, and such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these conditions.
These terms of use shall be interpreted and governed by the current legislation. Any dispute arising from these conditions shall be settled before the courts of Granollers, Catalonia. However, this shall not prevent the MCNG from exercising the right to settle any dispute in another competent jurisdiction.
MCNG reserves the right to change the content of this website at any time and without prior notice.
