Community capture rules
Document the place — never the person. Enroofe exists for useful public-land context, not surveillance, confrontation, accusation or exposing another person’s whereabouts. Member accounts and Field Capture contributions are currently limited to people aged 18 or older.
The people-free rule
No person may appear anywhere in an Enroofe Field Capture. This includes adults, children and young people, workers, contractors, residents, park users, faces, hands, feet, limbs or other visible body parts; people in the background, reflections, windows or screens; and people who are blurred, pixelated, obscured or only partly visible. Children receive zero-tolerance treatment: if a child may be in frame, do not capture. Wait, move or reframe until every person is completely outside the image. Do not rely on blurring after the fact.
Do
- Capture from a place you may lawfully stand.
- Use Enroofe’s live Field Capture when you want a location-recorded label.
- Begin with a wide context frame only when it can be genuinely people-free, then add an edge/detail if useful.
- Photograph public signage clearly enough to read it only when no person or identifying personal detail is captured.
- Use neutral observation categories and describe only what is visible.
- Help cover under-mapped places and revisit stale observations.
Do not
- Trespass, enter closed areas or put yourself, an animal or another person at risk.
- Stage a scene, submit generated/edited evidence as a live capture, or intentionally misstate location.
- Target, follow, identify, confront or deliberately photograph workers, contractors, residents, children or other park users.
- Submit a human image even if the face is blurred, pixelated, obscured or cropped. A person must be fully outside the submitted frame.
- Submit nudity, sexual imagery or exposed intimate anatomy.
- Capture readable private vehicle number plates, personal name badges, private-home details or other unnecessary identifying information.
- Use Enroofe to publish or infer where a person or child is, was, lives, works or is travelling.
- Write causal, criminal, negligence or legal allegations based only on visual appearance.
- Submit controlled-species locations or use Enroofe as a foraging/sourcing tool.
If your evidence is about a person
Enroofe is not the destination for imagery documenting a worker, contractor or other individual. If you believe conduct, an incident, suspected wrongdoing or an immediate safety issue should be reported, preserve and send any relevant material directly through the appropriate official channel — for example the responsible land manager or council, relevant regulator, or emergency services where appropriate. Do not upload that person-containing material to Enroofe.
Automated privacy gate
Enroofe validates and privacy-screens the entire submitted field set before writing any image from that set to its private media store or accepting capture/media rows into the database. A field set that contains or may contain a person or prohibited identifying content is rejected as a whole. If screening is unavailable or indeterminate, submission fails closed. Automated detection can make mistakes, so it is a privacy control rather than a guarantee; accepted field sets still enter private moderation.
Corroboration
Corroboration is not a like button. A signed-in member may nominate an existing eligible member capture and submit a new live field set in the same observation category nearby. Enroofe requires distinct member identities and a distinct capture session, then holds the link for review. Acceptance can strengthen the evidence label but does not establish treatment cause, responsibility or safety.
Member identities
A public display name may be a real name or an alias. Email is used for account access and is not displayed publicly. Real name is optional and private. Enroofe does not provide profile-photo or avatar uploads.
Reporting a concern
If you believe Enroofe content or behaviour breaches these rules, use the privacy/content concern form. Do not attach images of people to a report; the form accepts text only.
