最近微軟推出的能根據照片測出人物性別年齡的“how-old.net”掀起了不少的網絡風潮,人們樂此不疲地上傳個人或名人的照片去判斷年齡。當然這樣就會令不少用戶產生對隱私方面的顧慮,微軟會如何處置這些照片?別擔心,微軟在How-Old.net的首頁就明確標識著“PS.We don't keep the photo(放心微軟不會保留圖片)”。
不過也有些特別較真的用戶認為,在具體ToS用戶服務條款中並沒有明確顯示微軟不會保留任何圖片的條款,事實上條款允許微軟在一定程度上保留圖片的權利。根據Global News報道,微軟的how-old.net網站方面再次表明了不會保留任何用戶上傳的圖片的態度。(可能保留初期的測定結果)。微軟進一步解釋道,由於該網站應用是基於微軟Azure雲服務工具開發的,在Tos用戶協議方面他們保留了業界通用的陳述,但是How-old.net應用開發團隊可以選擇其具體策略,他們選擇了完全不在網站保留任何用戶上傳圖片的方式。
相關ToS協議如下:
