About the data

Occupations and business types

The titles you can choose from when you list yourself are built from two international standards — the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-08, International Labour Organization) and the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC Rev. 4, United Nations Statistics Division) — with titles and everyday names used in Fiji added by Dolphin.

Dolphin shows titles and everyday names only. The standards' own codes are kept for our internal use and are not published here. If a title is missing you can type your own; a person at Dolphin reviews it before it is added.

What a profile says, and what Dolphin checked

Prices, hours, menus, qualifications and words such as “halal” or “licensed” are the owner's own statements. A check label under a name — Identity checked, Registered business, Credential checked, Location confirmed, Official account — means only what it says, and cannot be bought. Dolphin checks and moderates profiles; it cannot promise there are no scams.

Example profiles

Profiles marked “Example” are made by Dolphin to show how a page can look. The businesses and people are invented, no check was made, and a request sent to one is a practice run that nobody receives. Their photographs are real and are credited on the Image credits page.

Opening hours and "open now"

“Open” and “Closed” are worked out from the hours the owner entered, in Fiji time, with the special days they added. A profile without hours shows no open state rather than a guess.

Places

Place names and coordinates: GeoNames (geonames.org), Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. Dolphin added the names people use for the same place and a few places the list did not have.

Maps

Maps are drawn from OpenFreeMap (© OpenMapTiles, data from OpenStreetMap). Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence. The map is drawn in your browser by MapLibre GL JS (BSD licence), served from Dolphin itself.

A pin is a place's public address. A soft circle is a town or area only: people who work from home are never shown at their address.

Requests

An order, booking or enquiry sent through Dolphin goes to that profile only. Dolphin takes no payment: you pay the business directly. Requests are deleted 90 days after they are completed (30 days for health profiles).
