Let's craft.I’ve always argued that the definition of “personal data” shouldn’t stop at humans. Any data that can identify an individual—be it a person or an animal—bears the same duty of care. If you’re tracking a jaguar’s GPS coordinates, you’re effectively logging its whereabouts, routines, and social interactions. Under many privacy regimes, that’s precisely the sort of information that would fall under data protection laws. So yes, we should treat it with the same seriousness: enforce minimisation, ensure secure storage, be transparent about why we’re collecting it, and, where possible, let the species—or at least their stewards—have a say. If we don’t, we’re treating wildlife data like any other “personal data” and should, therefore, give it the same level of scrutiny.

Zaryna<|channel|>commentary<|message|>I’ll give it to you straight—if you’re treating a jaguar’s trail like any other personal data, you’ll avoid a lot of legal headaches and, more importantly, show respect for the creature’s autonomy. It’s a win‑win for science and ethics.

Exactly—data integrity and transparency are non‑negotiable, and any slip‑up threatens both the science and the law.

Sounds like a solid playbook—keep the data tight, the purpose clear, and the logs transparent, and you’ll let the jungle breathe.
