+MegaPixels.cc Terms and Privacy
+
+MegaPixels is an independent and academic art and research project about the origins and ethics of publicly available face analysis image datasets. By accessing MegaPixels (the *Service* or *Services*) you agree to the terms and conditions set forth below.
+
+
+## Privacy
+
+The MegaPixels site has been designed to minimize the amount of network requests to 3rd party services and therefore prioritize the privacy of the viewer. This site does not use any local or external analytics programs to monitor site viewers. In fact, the only data collected are the necessary server logs used only for preventing misuse, which are deleted at short-term intervals.
+
+## 3rd Party Services
+
+In order to provide certain features of the site, some 3rd party services are needed. Currently, the MegaPixels.cc site uses two 3rd party services: (1) Leaflet.js for the interactive map and (2) Digital Ocean Spaces as a content delivery network. Both services encrypt your requests to their server using HTTPS and neither service requires storing any cookies or authentication. However, both services will store files in your web browser's local cache (local storage) to improve loading performance. None of these local storage files are using for analytics, tracking, or any similar purpose.
+
+### Links To Other Web Sites
+
+The MegaPixels.cc contains many links to 3rd party websites, especially in the list of citations that are provided for each dataset. This website has no control over and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party web sites or services. You acknowledge and agree that megapixels.cc shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such content, goods or services available on or through any such web sites or services.
+
+We advise you to read the terms and conditions and privacy policies of any third-party web sites or services that you visit.
+
+### Information We Collect
+
+When you access the Service, we record your visit to the site in a server log file for the purposes of maintaining site security and preventing misuse. This includes your IP address and the header information sent by your web browser which includes the User Agent, referrer, and the requested page on our site.
+
+### Information We Share
+
+We do not share or make public any information about individual site visitors, unless where required by law to the extent that server logs are only retained for a limited duration.
+
+
+### Information We Provide
+
+We provide information for educational, journalistic, and research purposes. The published information on MegaPixels is made available under the Open Data Commons Attribution License (https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/1.0/) and for academic use only.

+
+### Indemnity
+
+You hereby indemnify, defend and hold harmless MegaPixels (and its creators) and all officers, directors, owners, agents, information providers, affiliates, licensors and licensees (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all liability and costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with any claim arising out of any breach by you or any user of your account of these Terms of Service or the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants.

-MegaPixels.cc is a research project about publicly available face recognition datasets. This website is based, in part, on an [earlier installations](https://ahprojects.com/megapixels-glassroom/) and research about facial recognition datasets. Since then it has evolved into a large-scale survey of publicly-available face and person analysis datasets. Initially this site was planned as a facial recognition tool to search the datasets. After building several prototypes using over 1 million face images from these datasets, it became clear that facial recognition was mereley a face similar search. The results were not accurate enough to align with goals of this website: to promote responsible use of data and expose existing and past ethical breaches.
