THE NEW LEICA FOTOPARK


Leica Fotopark






Leica announced changes to the Leica Fotopark.  According to Leica they are:

NEW TERMS & CONDITIONS OF USE

A brief overview of the most important changes

We have modified the terms and conditions of use of Leica Fotopark to take account of the new functions. For legal reasons, we must notify you of these changes in full and in written form.

1. By uploading content, you confirm that you are the holder of all relevant rights of usage and that you grant us the rights required for the operation of Leica Fotopark.

2. You yourself decide to whom your pictures will be made visible from a choice of three different categories. By selecting ‘unlimited visibility’, you grant us permission to make use of the picture on the Leica Corporate Website and in Leica Fotopark. At present, this would, for example, correspond to a photo-stream advertising Leica Fotopark.

3. When uploading, please ensure that any pictures that may contain offensive or objectionable subject matter are labelled explicitly. A check box has been provided for this purpose. All pictures uploaded to the category ‘Nude’ must be labelled in this way. This enables you and other members to decide whether such pictures should be displayed in your own accounts.

4. You may decline to accept the changes by cancelling your membership. If you do not, you will be deemed to have accepted the new terms and conditions of use.

  1. Is the photos in the Fotopark is safe? They can be easily drag and down load. I have already checked it. And there are many photos done with Non -Leica cameras I guess...

    1. Leica has stated specifically that the photos do not necessarily have to be taken with Leica equipment. As for being safe, I see no reason why Fotopark isn't as safe as any other cloud service.
