In terms of service (bottom of the page) it states that the copyright of the photo remains with the person who took it, the site may use the photo on other place on the site eg the weeks top 20 but will credit the owner.
Why do you ask?
This is part of the terms and conditions of the site:
Copyright
You may ONLY upload images to this site that you have taken yourself, copying a photo from Flickr does not make it yours!
You do not give up any rights to your own images when uploading to 365 Project.
Your images are yours and yours only, you can remove them any time.
We will only use your images on this site. If you are lucky your photos may be featured on the 365 Project blog or newsletter (we do top 20 lists and things like that) the image will always be accompanied with a link back and full credit to the original work.
Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Privacy Policy to make important disclosures about how you can use Facebook to share with others and how we collect and can use your content and information. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy, and to use it to help make informed decisions.
2.Sharing Your Content and Information
You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. In addition:
1.For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
2.When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
3.When you use an application, your content and information is shared with the application. We require applications to respect your privacy, and your agreement with that application will control how the application can use, store, and transfer that content and information. (To learn more about Platform, read our Privacy Policy and Platform Page.)
4.When you publish content or information using the everyone setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Facebook, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).
5.We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about Facebook, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).
@cookie123 Ooh.. I don't think I like that Facebook can do anything with the pictures or videos you post.. does that mean they store you photos forever even if you delete them? I didn't quite understand that part.
@laurendoubleu No, if you delete them, they're gone, *unless* someone else has shared them. You can probably disable sharing of your stuff, in which case you're safe.
Why do you ask?
@emmar84 OH my gosh thank you SO much.. thats great (: I don't know, just wondering.
