This is an art project by Tijmen Schep that shows how face detection algoritms are increasingly used to judge you.
No personal data is sent to our server in any way. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. All the face detection algorithms will run on your own computer, in the browser.
In this 'test' your face is compared with that of all the the other people who have previously done this test. At the end of the show you can, if you want to, share some anonimized data. That will then be used to re-calculate the new average. That anonymous data is not shared any further.
edit: Okay, I succumbed to my curiosity and decided to try it but with all my connection turned off. As far as my obeservation goes, at least there are no ajax call from this site and everything is functioning even without connection.
If you have all the original metadata in a typical smartphone camera JPEG, then things like the info below is available:
- camera model
- phone model
- time & date of when the picture was taken
- geo-location of where the picture was taken
I would say for anyone motivated enough that is pretty easily identifiable.
edit: bullet points formatting
edit2: lewispollard rightly pointed out that I should read before writing. :)
Even though i'm not an EU fan (far from it actually),it would be very weird if they'd have such a website and then not comply with data requests for deletion/download, especially when they boast about it being an EU-funded website that respects privacy.
