Is there a link anywhere to your privacy policy? I notice the app page says not to upload private images such as photos of faces but what happens to the data I do send? Are the images saved? Is my cameras fingerprint saved? Do you collect identifiable information from my phone? etc.

"Scroll for more." = Scrolling is broken; thus accessibility for those with disabilities is as well. Can't highlight text. Keyboard navigation is busted due that as well. Turning off Javascript results in a blank black page. Basically a broken web site.

Keyboard navigation and scrolling are working for me on FF.

You know, if this where a paper or article, okay. But this site has nada information about it, it's basically a four page DOWNLOAD button.

The more people hit the download button, the more paper. It's based on this work: http://www.ws.binghamton.edu/fridrich/Research/EI7254-18.pdf

Do you intend to make the source available?

See here: https://camfinger.com/info.html Tl;Dr: The phone type is saved and all the images (for the study), nothing more.

Thank you for this. FWIW, if the page hadn't instantly redirected me to the Google Play store I would have been able to find this, I wasn't aware there was actually a website to browse! Interesting project though, I'll be sure to help out. :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The client is basically just a webview with a photo upload function, but this could be a good idea nevertheless. Paper has priority, though. It's not obfuscated so feel free to decompile it ;)

I wonder what they will do with the data (the fingerprint). Will some three-letter-agency have access? (Of course they can demand access).

Any page you can upload photos to may extract the fingerprint from there. We don't think anybody is interested in our dataset for this reason...
