Over the past fortnight, everyone and their mother has been sharing pictures online of what they might look like in 20 years’ time with the help of FaceApp.
In recent days, many people have pointed out a potentially worrying clause in the 4300-word long FaceApp terms of use. In the 5th section pertaining to user content of 22 in total, the company states “you grant FaceApp a perpetual, irrevocable license to use … your User Content ... without compensation to you.”
Reading 4000 words on a laptop screen is arduous; on a smartphone screen it is gruelling. In a way, I can’t really blame people who skim read terms and conditions and click ‘I agree’ in their haste to join in the fun that everyone else seems to be having. I have done the same in the past.
Last week I bought a Garmin VivoActive3 sports watch. Procrastinating about having to read those long documents rendered the sports watch an expensive shiny bracelet for a whole week.
But yesterday I bit the bullet and meticulously read through the user privacy agreement. From reading the Privacy Policy - which a little under 5000 words - and I have some comments and questions.
