Location & privacy
Discovery that respects privacy
The locator never exposes people’s exact private addresses. Personal location will use an appropriate geographic level — country, region, city or an approved community area — and exact location is only used where appropriate and explicitly provided for a public project, organization, event or activity.
From discovery to participation.
Citizen Science Connect is the bridge — understand what and who is around you, then move to Participate when you are ready to take part.
