Neither Hacker News nor Reddit have the appropriate typeface options for the requisite magnitude of NOPE this deserves to be responded to with. Nothing about completing AI training tasks requires anything but the bare minimum of my data, and certainly not selling it.
"All legal consequences and rights to legal recourse"? Dude, no. Just no. Combined with the lack of privacy policy and ToS, this looks like a very sketchy, fly-by-night operation.
Clicking the "Download" link on your "Terms" page takes me to the following page [1] and clicking the "Get in touch" link takes me to a dead page [2]. Also, your title is still set as "Quicksmart - Webflow HTML Website Template" which appears on the tab for your page. I would suggest going over your site once more and clear up some of these low hanging fruit, as it really doesn't give me a lot of confidence that I'll be paid for my work. :)
Edit: As I was submitting this, I see the Get in touch link has been updated, however, the Download link has not, and the terms has simply changed to "We encrypt all data in transit and at rest."
That's great, but, that doesn't really sound like Terms of Service to me.
"Walk around your neighbourhood and take photographs. We'll pay you per photograph. Collect vehicle license plate data..."
This reminds me of communist-era practice of spying on your neighbors for "the good of your country." And, just like this app, the spies received small payments for the quality and frequency of their information. The more things change, the more they stay the same...
Ah yes, the good old sprinkling of magic cryptography over your product. I suppose it's all fine then.
Encryption is reversible, the question is who has access to the keys and what data does it unlock.
Also, it seems odd that this is never mentioned in your privacy policy (ctrl+f "crypt" to match decryption/encryption/cryptography, but no hits). You'd think if this is a core feature to maintain security and/or privacy and distinguish yourself from the competition, it would be in there...
> We collect and use the personal data described above in order to provide, improve, promote, and protect the Services, and to develop new products and services. We also collect and use personal data for our legitimate business needs.
Very specific. This some template that basically says "we don't care"?
"Walk around your neighbourhood and take photographs. We'll pay you per photograph. Collect vehicle license plate data..."
Yeah, how about fucking off? What the shit is this about? People should mind their own business. It is like those apps that ask you to collect WiFi SSIDs while driving around to 'help creating better location services' aka violate people's privacy for profit by some company.
An individual might accidentally capture a license plate on a picture they take, or if you use pictures for traffic monitoring and they capture license plates but you don't store the data, those might be legitimate purposes. "Go around and spy on your neighbours for some foreign company" cannot be legal.
See also the privacy policy that was lorem ipsum when this was posted. When someone commented, the owner seems to have quickly downloaded a template somewhere that says vague things like "we use it for legitimate business interests".
