You agree to use the Website in a responsible and lawful manner. You agree not to:

Website Content

The Website and its original content, features, and functionality (including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, and software) are owned by Phototager and are protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.

Generated Metadata

The metadata (titles, descriptions, keywords) generated by the Website is based on user-uploaded images. While we use algorithms to generate this metadata, you retain ownership of the images you upload. The generated metadata is provided for your use and is not guaranteed to be unique or error-free.

User Uploaded Content

You retain ownership of all images and videos you upload to Phototager.com. By uploading content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to:

  • Process and analyze your content through our own systems and third-party AI services (including Anthropic and OpenAI) solely for the purpose of generating metadata.
  • Store your content on our secure Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 storage for the limited time necessary to provide our services.

For your own security, we strongly recommend that you:

  • Upload only low-resolution versions of your content to minimize risk in the event of a security breach.
  • Delete your uploaded content after receiving your generated metadata.

We do not share your uploaded content with any unauthorized third parties. Your content is only used to provide the specific services you have requested.

You are responsible for reviewing and editing the generated metadata before use.

6. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall Phototager or its suppliers be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of data or profit, or due to business interruption) arising out of the use or inability to use the Website, even if Phototager or a Phototager authorized representative has been notified orally or in writing of the possibility of such damage. Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, or limitations of liability for consequential or incidental damages, these limitations may not apply to you.

  • Taking appropriate precautions with your valuable content, such as uploading only low-resolution versions.
  • Managing your account credentials and maintaining their confidentiality.
  • Promptly removing your content from our servers after receiving generated metadata, if you wish to minimize storage of your content on our systems.
