Privacy
How this prototype handles data, and how to complain.
Personal information
The public site does not create user accounts. It does not ask for your name, location permission, or swim plans. Hosting and CDN logs (IP address, user agent, URL) may be processed by the deployment platform in the ordinary course of serving the site.
Assessments
Beach assessments are generated from labelled environmental observations and, where present, detection records. They are experimental. vShark is an independent experimental prototype. It is not the NSW Government, DPI / DPIRD SharkSmart, Surf Life Saving Australia, Northern Beaches Council, or the Bureau of Meteorology.
Complaints and contact
A public complaints email is not configured yet. Set OPERATOR_EMAIL to publish one. For immediate beach safety, contact lifeguards or NSW SharkSmart — not this site.
