Yardwatch terms of service

Last updated October 27, 2026.

Yardwatch is my personal, non-commercial project for watching the wildlife around my house with my own Google Nest cameras. It is not a service offered to anyone else: I am its only user, and only my Google account signs in to it.

The public sightings page

The daily log of animal visits is provided as is, for interest only. The counts come from automated descriptions of camera clips and can be wrong. Like the rest of this site's text and figures, it may be reused under CC BY 4.0.

No warranty

Yardwatch comes with no warranty of any kind, and I accept no liability for anyone's use of this site or the sightings data.

Privacy

How Yardwatch uses Google data is described in the privacy policy.

Changes and contact

I may change these terms at any time by updating this page. Questions: contact me, Andrew Brook, via GitHub or LinkedIn.
