Free my ass.

EDIT: My bad. I understood it like you had to log into a service outside the application itself. I'm terribly sorry for my comment.

Hi thatwasunusual, I'm happy that I read your comment after your edit, no hard feelings ;)

Just to clarify, all data is stored locally. It could be run even without internet, once it's downloaded from dockerhub

I have one question to you as for the person who definitely concerned about privacy To better understand what features are popular we are planning to gather anonymous information from the next release. What measures we are going to take: 1. You will be asked for permit during the first registration. If no permit - we won't send anything 2. We send only anonymized information - no names, no geolocation data, no images, etc. 3. We are open source, so it's easy to check if we send only this information, all code is in github.

Will it be enough for not worry about your data?

It's still free though. Are you paying for anything with this service?

You need to host it on your servers, so you still need pay for the servers, or at least for electricity if they in your home/office :) CompreFace is free, there is no paid version

There is "free" as in "free beer" and "free" as in "free speech".
