and samples of fuel-loads, dryness and structure of forests (data) to predict the probability, severity and burn area of potential
bushfires using artificial intelligence tools (Project).
The terms of this Agreement (Terms) are legally binding between you (you, your) and UniSC. Your use of the App is
conditional upon you agreeing to the Terms. We may change the Terms at any time without notice. Any amendment will be
effective five (5) days after the amended Terms have been published by us. Your continued use of the App after any
amendment comes into operation constitutes an agreement by you to comply with, and be bound by, the amended Terms.
Accordingly, you should access and read the Terms from time to time, otherwise as notified by us that an amendment(s) has

App Purpose

The purpose of the App is to enable you, as a citizen scientist, to collect and provide us with data for the Project (App Purpose).
Privacy statement

We may access, use, store or disclose any information (including any personal information) that you enter into the App.
In order to use the App, you will be required to register before use and this may involve providing your personal information if
alone or together the information reasonably identifies you. The information we will request includes your username, email
address, your postcode, date of birth, occupation, and education. You will also be asked to provide some information regarding
your experience in scientific data collection and citizen science. The minimum information required for you to register to use
the App and participate in the Project is a username and email address, neither of which may identify you.

Any of your personal information collected through the App will be held, used and disclosed by us for the purposes of the
Project, supporting and maintaining the App and for current and future research purposes. We use this information to
communicate with you, manage your login details, and provide you with updates regarding the analysis of data records and
the Project. We may use your personal information to verify the details of a record created when you submit data through the
App, acknowledge you as the relevant collector of data that created a record, or contact you to request greater access to the
data, or further information that will support a record.

You will not be able to register and use the App unless we can collect your username and email address.

Your username and data that you provide through your use of the App (record) will be disclosed to the public through the
NOBURN website. We may also disclose your personal information to third party service providers for the purpose of data
storage and supporting and maintaining the App.

In the event you enter data into the App, you will be prompted to provide additional information including the location of data
recording (GPS or map-based), images of the forest location and forest fuels, time and date of data collection, a guided
description of the forest at the time of collection, weather during the collection, and a visual assessment of the overall fuel
hazard with measurements of fuel quantities as prompted. If you submit data through a survey, we will collect meta data, such
as the location tag and camera settings with photos, as well as a personal identifier that links the data record with personal
information you provided through App registration. If you do not enable Location Services to identify your location at the time
of data upload or recording, we will request (prompt) you to manually provide the location of each data recording.

Data you transmit through the App may be aggregated for analysis with your identifiable characteristics removed. We may
publish or provide this aggregated data to other people, for instance App usage statistics may be used for demographic
research purposes by us. We may also provide usage statistics to the NOBURN funding body, the Australian Government
Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research.

You agree to receive email communications from us in relation to the Project, for instance, records related to the data you
transmit through the App will be emailed to you and we will email you with Project updates, and analysis of data and records.
You can opt-out of these email communications using the unsubscribe option in the emails.

Other than as set out in this Agreement, your personal information will not be released unless the law requires or permits it or
your consent is provided through NOBURN App registration and your acceptance of the Agreement or on a case by case
basis. We provide a secure environment and a reliable system for storing your personal information, but you should be aware
that there may be inherent risks associated with the transmission of information via the internet.

To the extent we are deemed to collect personal information for the purpose of the Project and providing, supporting and
maintaining the App service, we are required to comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles and
UniSC’s Information Management Framework – Governing Policy.

We will also, at your request, delete any personal information we have collected about you. Our Privacy Policy contains
information about how you may access and seek correction of your personal information and complain about a breach of the
Australian Privacy Principles, and how we will deal with complaints. To contact us for any of the reasons listed, please email
the NOBURN Research Team at noburn@usc.edu.au. Alternatively, to access our Privacy Policy, please visit
