What is this site?

• This site is an alternative flickr viewer, aiming to help photographers showcase their portfolio and find inspiration in the works of other photographers.
• It also features a recommendation engine, which - based on what one marks as favorite - suggests other photos of interest.

Copyright information

• The photos shown here are taken by many different photographers, all of whom are flickr members. All photographs are copyrighted by their respective owners.
• The application is designed to increase the visibility of the original flickr site. Photos are only shown in their small size, and they all link back to the original flickr page of the photo, where you can contact the photographer, add them as a contact, etc.

Why I can see my photos here?

• If you publish public photos on flickr, they can appear on this site. As an alternative flickr viewer, this site uses the official flickr API - just like hundreds of other third party applications do.
• It doesn't copy, store or host any photos and doesn't reference any photos specifically - it is merely a viewer that reflects whatever flickr provides it when you ask it to.
• The site is fully compliant with the terms of use of flickr API: all images link back to the original Flickr page - so there can be no misunderstanding about the image origin, author or copyright. You can also read the official Flickr FAQ about this here and here.
• The site uses a technology called inline linking to show the images stored on flickr's servers. According to international law, this is not a copyright infringement. However, as you will see below, we are ready to quickly remove the links to your images on your request.

Still, I don't want my photos here!

• No problem. You can opt out from third party services having access to your photos. For this, go to your hiding from search page, and check both the second and third check boxes. This will hide you from flickr API calls, and subsequently from this site. Please allow up to an hour for this setting to be processed.
• Please note, that even after you hide your photos from searches, they can still appear on a few places (e.g. groups, people's favourites and subscriptions, etc.). If you want to completely remove your photos from this site, please send a flickr mail to the owner of the site. We will process your request in a reasonable time.
• Please let us know if you have any more questions, comments or concerns.
