Using Maps or Data

The NBN Gateway is a resource that we want to be used.  We do however want to ensure that data or maps used are referenced correctly and that the data providers receive proper credit.  Without our data providers the NBN Gateway couldn’t exist so we take this seriously.

General guidelines

Access to and use of material accessed through the NBN Gateway is governed by the Gateway Terms and Conditions.

  • You must only publish the level of detail that a public user has to the records on data.nbn.org.uk. This is the level of detail you have without logging in to the site. If (as a registered user) you are granted enhanced access to restricted information you must not disseminate, deliberately compromise or otherwise infringe the confidentiality of such information without first obtaining written permission from the relevant data provider.
  • You must acknowledge the relevant data providers that are sharing their records with you through data.nbn.org.uk. In addition, where you make specific use of or reference to a particular wildlife record you must acknowledge the Original Recorder [where their name is made available]. We would also like you to acknowledge the NBN Gateway (data.nbn.org.uk).
  • Any document or product that makes use of data from the NBN Gateway must contain a statement that the Data Provider, Original Recorder [where identified], and the NBN Trust bear no responsibility for any further analysis or interpretation of that material, data and/or information
