The terms and conditions of FaceApp are honestly f*cking terrifying

Nope.

So, unless you've been living under a rock for the last few days, you will have heard of FaceApp. It's a phone App that allows you to age yourself with a filter. And it's super realistic - like wow. Sure, it all seems like a bit of fun, right? Well, apparently the terms and conditions of the App are actually pretty frightening. A wiley lawyer spotted the issue with the terms, and shared the knowledge on Twitter: "If you use #FaceApp you are giving them a license to use your photos, your name, your username, and your likeness for any purpose including commercial purposes (like on a billboard or internet ad) -- see their Terms."

The terms read: “You grant FaceApp a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, fully-paid, transferable sub-licensable license t" use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform and display your User Content and any name, username or likeness provided in connection with your User Content in all media formats and channels now known or later developed, without compensation to you.”" So yeah, basically the App owns your face. Freaky, right? She also pointed out that FaceApp is based out of Russia, which many have found concerning. "It says that your data can be transferred to any location where they have a facility … which means Russia," she wrote. However, FaceApp has responded to the concerns. The company told TechCrunch it typically deletes user photos within 48 hours and doesn’t share user data with third parties. There's comfort in that I suppose.
