[digiKam-users] digikam data privacy questions

[Maik Qualmann]

The privacy policy on our website is generic. It is a free default template 
from the web. We had to add them to be able to continue using services from 
Google. This affects the export of images to Google Photo or Google Drive. It 
is clear that if you upload images to this service, they will also receive all 
of the metadata in this images. digiKam never sends any information about your 
images, metadata or anything else in the background to any server.
