[digiKam-users] Questions regarding digiKam

[Andreas theman]

Hello,

I have a couple of questions regarding digiKam.

1. Regarding the privacy policy, it is stated "For a better experience while using our Service, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information, including but not limited to pictures". Does this mean that images are/can be transfered online by you and not only are staying on the local harddrive?
2. Is other metadata contained by images that are open/added to digiKam, leaving the local harddrive?
3. Is it possible to disable face recognition?
4. Is the data collected with face recognition ever transmitted? Or does it always stay locally?

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,
Andreas
