This policy explains how Wild Frame, published at https://1235.neurogena.net, handles copyright, editorial content and reports about material on this website. It is written for visitors in the United Kingdom. It should be read alongside any privacy, terms or other notices made available on the website. This is a non-commercial editorial website about responsible nature photography and outdoor observation.
1. Ownership of photographs and editorial material
Unless a page states otherwise, the photographs, written articles, captions, page layouts, selection and arrangement of material, and other original content published on Wild Frame are protected by copyright and related rights. Those rights belong to Wild Frame, the relevant creator, or another rights holder identified with the material. The absence of a visible copyright credit does not mean that a photograph or article is free to use.
Copyright protection in the United Kingdom arises automatically when an original work is created. This policy is intended to reflect the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 and other applicable law in England and Wales. Depending on the material, database rights, performers’ rights, trade mark rights, moral rights and rights relating to privacy or confidential information may also apply.
All rights not expressly allowed by this policy are reserved. In particular, publication on a publicly accessible website does not transfer ownership, grant a general licence, or place material in the public domain.
2. Permitted personal and informational use
Visitors may view pages, read editorial text and look at photographs through the normal functions of a web browser for personal, private and informational purposes. Visitors may share the website address with others and may refer to Wild Frame in a good-faith discussion, provided that the reference is accurate and does not imply endorsement, affiliation or authorship by Wild Frame.
Short quotations from editorial text may be permitted where UK law allows fair dealing, including for criticism, review, quotation, reporting current events, research or private study. Any such use must be fair, proportionate to the purpose, accompanied by sufficient acknowledgement where required, and must not undermine the normal use of the work. Fair dealing is context-specific; it is not a blanket permission to reproduce a whole article, a substantial part of an article, or a collection of photographs.
Visitors must not copy, republish, crop, remove credits from, alter, translate, archive for public access, distribute, display elsewhere, train systems on, or otherwise reuse photographs or editorial text unless they have permission from the relevant rights holder or a clear legal exception applies. This includes use on websites, social platforms, publications, presentations, datasets, promotional materials and automated collections. A credit by itself does not create permission.
3. Attribution, credits and correction requests
Wild Frame aims to identify creators and rights holders accurately where that information is available and appropriate. Good-faith requests concerning an omitted, incorrect or incomplete credit are welcome. A request should identify the relevant page or item, explain the correction sought, and provide information that supports the proposed attribution. The website may ask for further detail before making a change.
Credit and correction requests may be made by telephone on +44 20 3951 7175 or by post to 58 Fitzroy St, London, W1T 5BU, United Kingdom. Please do not send unnecessary personal information. A correction request is considered on the evidence available; it does not automatically establish ownership or require a particular editorial outcome.
Where a correction is warranted, Wild Frame may amend a credit, caption or article, add a clarification, remove material, or take another proportionate step. Editorial changes may be made for clarity, accuracy, context, safety or legal reasons. Earlier wording may not remain available after an update.
4. Copyright and rights-infringement reports
If you believe that material on Wild Frame infringes your copyright or another enforceable right, please make a clear, evidence-based report by telephone or post. Reports are assessed under the law of England and Wales and in light of the information provided. Wild Frame does not require a complainant to use technical legal language, but a report must contain enough detail for the material and the claimed right to be identified and assessed.
A report should contain all of the following:
- your full name and the capacity in which you act, such as the rights holder or an authorised representative;
- a reliable postal address and telephone number for correspondence;
- a precise identification of the material said to be infringed, including the relevant page address and a description of the photograph, text or other item;
- identification of the original work or right you say is affected, with enough detail to locate or verify it;
- an explanation of the basis of your ownership, authority or other right to complain;
- supporting evidence that is reasonably available, such as proof of authorship, a chain of authority, publication history, registration information where applicable, or relevant correspondence;
- a clear statement of the action requested, such as review, correction, removal or restriction of access; and
- a statement that the information supplied is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have a good-faith belief that the use complained of is not authorised by the relevant rights holder, by law, or by a valid exception.
Reports may be made by calling +44 20 3951 7175 or writing to 58 Fitzroy St, London, W1T 5BU, United Kingdom. Postal reports should include copies rather than irreplaceable originals. If a report is incomplete, unclear or lacks supporting information, Wild Frame may request clarification before taking action.
5. Review, response and lawful notices
After receiving a substantiated report, Wild Frame may review the material and the information supplied, seek clarification, consult the person or source connected with the material where appropriate, correct attribution, add context, limit access, temporarily remove the item, permanently remove it, or decline the request. The response will depend on the nature of the report, the evidence, the applicable law, the public-interest context and the practical need to avoid ongoing harm.
Wild Frame may preserve relevant records and material where reasonably necessary to investigate a report, protect legal rights, or comply with a lawful requirement. Formal notices, court orders and other lawful requests from competent authorities will be considered and handled in accordance with applicable law. Nothing in this policy requires Wild Frame to disclose personal information or confidential material except where disclosure is lawful and necessary.
There is no user-upload area, public account system or comment facility on this website. Accordingly, this policy does not operate a platform-style notice-and-counter-notice process for user-posted material, and there is no repeat-user infringement scheme. If a person disputes a complaint or removal decision concerning material controlled by Wild Frame, they may provide a written explanation and supporting evidence by post to the address stated in this policy. Any further action remains subject to the applicable legal framework and the facts of the matter.
6. False, misleading or abusive reports
Rights reports should be made honestly, carefully and only by a person with a genuine basis to raise the issue. Knowingly false claims, attempts to suppress lawful criticism, repeated unsupported demands, impersonation, threats or the use of a complaint process to harass another person may be treated as abuse of this process. Wild Frame may decline to act on abusive, vexatious or materially misleading communications, retain relevant evidence, and take any lawful steps reasonably necessary to protect the website, its contributors and affected parties.
A report should distinguish clearly between an alleged infringement and a concern about tone, factual accuracy, personal preference or disagreement with an editorial judgement. These matters may each be considered, but they raise different questions and do not carry the same legal consequences.
7. Editorial accuracy and corrections
Wild Frame seeks to publish careful, responsible information about nature photography, landscapes, wildlife observation and outdoor practice. Editorial material may nevertheless contain an error, become incomplete as conditions change, or require additional context. Information is provided for general informational purposes and is not a substitute for local safety guidance, land-management rules, access conditions, conservation advice or professional advice.
Factual correction requests should identify the page, quote or accurately describe the statement at issue, explain why it is inaccurate or misleading, and provide reliable supporting information where available. Wild Frame may correct verified errors, clarify ambiguous wording, update material, add an editorial note, or decide that no change is justified. Editorial opinion, photographic interpretation and aesthetic judgement are not factual errors merely because others disagree with them.
For correction requests, use +44 20 3951 7175 or write to 58 Fitzroy St, London, W1T 5BU, United Kingdom. Please keep communications focused on the relevant publication and avoid including personal data that is not needed to assess the request.
8. Ethical wildlife imagery and responsible field practice
Nature imagery should place the welfare of wildlife, habitats and other people before a photograph. Wild Frame supports observation and photography that minimise disturbance and respect the conditions of the place being visited. Images and editorial material should not be understood as encouragement to approach wildlife closely, enter sensitive habitat, disclose vulnerable locations, or reproduce conduct that may be unsuitable in different conditions.
Wild Frame does not endorse baiting, harassing, chasing, handling, restraining or harming animals for an image. It does not endorse trespass, damage to vegetation or habitat, interference with nests, dens or breeding sites, or conduct that causes avoidable stress to wildlife. It also does not endorse unsafe activity, entry to restricted areas, disregard of seasonal protections, or failure to follow site rules and lawful instructions.
Visitors remain responsible for their own decisions outdoors. Before photographing, check the applicable access arrangements, permissions, weather, tide, terrain, conservation restrictions and local guidance. Keep an appropriate distance, use longer focal lengths rather than closer approaches where possible, and leave the location in a condition that does not harm wildlife or other visitors. A compelling image never justifies disturbing an animal or placing people at risk.
9. Privacy and personal information in editorial content
This policy concerns content rights and editorial standards. Where a report, correction request or other communication includes personal information, Wild Frame should handle it in accordance with its applicable privacy information and the relevant requirements of the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018. Information provided in a report should be limited to what is reasonably necessary to identify the issue, establish authority and communicate about it.
Photographs may depict public landscapes, wildlife, natural features or people incidentally present in a scene. Concerns about personal data, privacy, safety or identification should explain the particular image, page and risk involved. Wild Frame may consider context, reasonable expectations, journalistic or artistic expression, legal obligations and the rights of all affected parties when deciding whether a change is appropriate.
10. Governing law, policy changes and contact route
This policy and disputes concerning its interpretation are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory legal rights that apply in a particular case. This statement is an explanation of Wild Frame’s approach to content and reports; it does not exclude rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded and does not guarantee a particular outcome in any individual matter.
Wild Frame may update this policy when its editorial practices, legal obligations or website content changes. The updated date at the start of the page indicates when the current version was published. Visitors should review the policy when relying on it or before raising a material concern.
For copyright, attribution, correction or lawful-notice correspondence, contact Wild Frame by telephone on +44 20 3951 7175 or by post at 58 Fitzroy St, London, W1T 5BU, United Kingdom.
