Snapchat says it will continue to automatically delete users’ photos and video once viewed<\/em><\/p>\n

Snapchat, a service favoured by teenagers that\u00a0claims to have 100 million daily users, has hit back at press reports that the firm now owns all pictures and video.<\/p>\n

A key feature behind Snapchat\u2019s popularity has been its automatic deletion of images and messages a few seconds after they have been viewed.<\/p>\n

But revised rules<\/a>, issued on 28 October, state that users grant Snapchat \u2018a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, use, display, reproduce, modify, adapt, edit, publish, create derivative works from, publicly perform, broadcast, distribute, syndicate, promote, exhibit, and publicly display that content in any form and in any and all media or distribution methods\u2026’<\/p>\n

However, Snapchat yesterday issued a follow-up statement in a bid to allay any \u2018misunderstanding\u2019 about its privacy policy following the negative media coverage.<\/p>\n

Snapchat said it will continue to automatically delete data from its servers once viewed, adding: \u2018\u2026the important point is that Snapchat is not \u2013 and never has been \u2013 stockpiling your private Snaps or Chats\u2019.<\/p>\n

The firm admitted that its revised terms grant a \u2018broad license to use the content you create\u2019, but emphasised that the privacy policy and users\u2019 own privacy settings \u2018could restrict the scope of that license\u2019.<\/p>\n

Snapchat\u2019s revised terms of service, issued on 28 October 2015<\/strong>
\nBut you grant Snapchat a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, use, display, reproduce, modify, adapt, edit, publish, create derivative works from, publicly perform, broadcast, distribute, syndicate, promote, exhibit, and publicly display that content in any form and in any and all media or distribution methods (now known or later developed). We will use this license for the limited purpose of operating, developing, providing, promoting, and improving the Services; researching and developing new ones; and making content submitted through the Services available to our business partners for syndication, broadcast, distribution, or publication outside the Services. Some Services offer you tools to control who can\u2014and cannot\u2014see your content under this license.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
