In its terms of service, users grant FaceApp \u201ca perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, fully-paid, transferable, sub-licensable license to use, reproduce \u2026 create derivative works from \u2026 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.\u201d\u2018<\/p>\n

You also may be contributing to a face recognition database.<\/p>\n

Said Jason Hill, lead cybersecurity researcher at CyberInt Technologies, spoke with USA Today<\/a>: \u201c[There] is no immediate evidence to suggest that FaceApp is performing any nefarious task.\u201d But it could be compiling info, Hill added. \u201cFor example, collating photos associated with a user could, where present, allow image metadata, such as the location that a picture was taken, to be mapped and correlated with access logs, gathered when the user accesses the service, that will associate details of their IP address, ISP and the device (including browser, operating system and hardware).\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
