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.

Reminds me of https://panopticlick.eff.org/

"Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 159,551 tested so far."

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.

    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. :)

This reminds me of printer dots.

"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.

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...
