# About Animal Checklist

> Animal Checklist is a free checklist of animals. You tick off every animal you have seen, on a walk, on holiday or at the zoo. It works on the phone, it works offline and you can add it to your home screen.

Every animal shows its name in eight languages plus the scientific name. Search finds all of them.

## Photos and licences

Photos come from iNaturalist, Wikimedia Commons, GBIF, Pexels and Pixabay. Each animal page shows the author, licence and source link. Photo authors do not endorse this site.

## Texts and data

Summaries come from Wikipedia under CC BY-SA 4.0 and name the source. Species, names and observation counts come from iNaturalist and Wikidata.

[Content licences and reuse conditions](https://animalchecklist.com/licences).

## Privacy

Optional measurement and feedback on the public catalogue need separate consent. They do not include your account or sightings. An optional account uses your email, passkeys and one essential sign-in cookie. Your sightings stay in this browser too.

Without sign-in, an anonymous sync code stores your animal ids and dates. Your anonymous list stays separate until you choose to import it into an account.
