Purpose of the website

Sheep Breeds Challenge is an educational resource intended for agricultural education and for anyone wishing to practise identifying sheep breeds from photographs.

Personal data and leaderboard

When a player submits a score, the website records only the information required to create the leaderboard: nickname, town or city, level played, score, time, number of errors and date of the game.

These data are used only to display the Sheep Breeds Challenge leaderboard. They are not sold, disclosed to third parties or used for commercial purposes.

Players are asked to use a nickname and not to enter their surname.

When someone creates a shared challenge, their nickname and email address are stored to confirm creation, prevent abuse, and allow them to manage or recover their challenges. A non-readable fingerprint of the IP address and a technical browser identifier are also stored for security; the email request rate-limit log is purged after seven days. The email address is never displayed publicly. Unconfirmed requests are deleted after 24 hours; confirmed challenges and their history are kept until deletion by the creator when available, by the administrator, or following a request from the person concerned.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), any person may request access to, rectification of or deletion of information concerning them by writing to: LEGTA de Pamiers, Philippe DELBOUYS, route de Belpech, 09100 Pamiers.

Photo credits and contributions

Some photographs used in the game and sheep breed encyclopedia are contributed by breeders, farms, organisations, breed associations, agricultural institutions or photographers.

Selected photographs are credited with the name supplied by the contributor and, where applicable, a link to a website or profile page.

By submitting a photograph, the contributor confirms that they created the image or hold the rights required to authorise its use. They grant Sheep Breeds Challenge permission to use the photograph free of charge for the educational website, game and sheep breed encyclopedia.

A contributor may request the removal of a photograph by writing to the contact address shown on the website.
