Changes

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material we will try to provide at least 30 days notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.

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 by only loading local dependencies. Additionaly, this site does not use any anaytics programs to monitor site viewers. In fact, the only data collected are the necessary server logs that used only for preventing misuse, which are deleteted at regular 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 condent 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, cookie-like technologies, tracking, or any similar purpose.
