Data collected through the site will be stored securely on servers managed by the Biological Records Centre.

Data collected on the site will appear in the iRecord data pool and may be verified by experts on iRecord. To make sure your account on our recording pages links up with your iRecord account (if you already have one) please make sure you register using the same email address (this will enable synchronisation).

NBRC uploads a proportion of its data to the NBN Gateway for use by others with certain restrictions. By using this site you are agreeing that your data may be passed on to the NBN Gateway. Once verified records have been made available to the NBN, their use will be governed by the NBN Gateway Terms and Conditions, e.g. use of the data for commercial purposes will not be allowed without written permission from the organisation administering the dataset. 

Please aim to avoid duplication by not submitting records here that you (or others) have submitted elsewhere (unless you think these will not get passed on to NBRC by another route).

You can view wildlife records submitted to this website by other users, but you may not store them, republish them, exploit them for commercial or academic research purposes, or pass them on to any third party.

Your contact details (email) will be held in a secure database at the Biological Records Centre and by NBRC and will only be used to contact you if there is a query about the verification of your wildlife observations.

Your contact details will not be passed on to any third parties without your permission.

Your name (and/or the name of the identifier) will be stored as part of the record and will be shared with others for the purposes of verification.

To record sensitive species, please use the 'submit a sighting' form and make use of the ability to blur records to a given resolution.

Please avoid submitting records unless you are certain of the identification. If you do submit records with photos and you are uncertain about the identification of the species, please indicate this using the drop down menu on the Submit a record form.

If you have large amounts of records to submit already stored in a digital format please submit them directly to NBRC via email, using nbrc@northantsbrc.org.uk
