Contributor licence

• You keep the copyright in your photo.
• We may host, show, resize and share it as part of the archive, always with your name on it.
• You confirm you took it, and that it shows no faces, number plates or private data.
• You can ask us to remove it at any time.

This licence applies to every photo you upload to Car Interfaces (“your photo”), together with the caption and details you add to it. It applies from the moment you submit the photo.

Uploading a photo does not transfer its copyright. You remain the owner and can keep using, selling or licensing the photo anywhere else.

You grant Car Interfaces a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free licence to host, display, resize and distribute your photo, always with credit to you.

In practice this means we may:

• store your photo and show it on the generation page it belongs to, and on related pages;
• make smaller copies and thumbnails, and convert the file format so pages load quickly;
• remove embedded metadata, such as GPS location, before publishing;
• distribute it as part of the archive, with your credit attached.

“Non-exclusive” means you can grant the same rights to anyone else. “Royalty-free” means we do not pay for the licence and you do not pay to take part. “Perpetual” means the licence does not expire on its own, so pages stay stable; you can still ask us to remove your photo at any time (see Removing your photo).

We will not sell your photo, or license it to anyone else as a standalone image, without asking you first.

Your photo is shown with the name you give us when you upload it. You can use your real name or a username, and you can ask us to change it later.

By uploading, you confirm that:

• you took the photo yourself, and nobody else holds rights in it that would stop you granting this licence;
• the photo shows no faces and no readable number plates;
• the photo shows no private data, such as a home address or route on a navigation screen, phone contacts or messages on the infotainment display, or a readable vehicle identification number (VIN);
• the caption and details you add are accurate as far as you know.

If a photo turns out to break these points, we remove it. If someone else claims rights in it, we handle the claim under our copyright and takedown process.

An editor checks each photo before it appears: that it shows the right generation and angle, that it is sharp enough to be useful and that it meets the points above. We may decline a photo without giving a detailed reason, or ask you for a version with the personal data cropped out.

You can ask us to remove your photo at any time, for any reason. Write to 3877957@gmail.com from the email address you used when uploading, and include the link to the page that shows the photo.

We take the photo off the site and out of our active storage, normally within 14 days. Copies that have already left our control, such as copies made by others before your request, cannot be recalled.
