If you create a private deck (and share it privately), does Anki still have the rights to it?
This can and should be clarified in our TOS (Terms of Service - AnkiHub Community).
Some thoughts:
- We do not encrypt decks, even for private decks, so the contents are readable by AnkiHub staff. This could change in the future.
- Private decks are only visible to users who aren’t explicitly given access by the deck owner.
- Access cannot be revoked since the users will download the deck to their computer. Only future updates can be revoked.
- We shouldn’t generate derivative materials based on private decks
- We shouldn’t use private deck contents as inputs to AI features that will be used outside of the private deck.
- We basically need to modify the the Sharing Decks section of our TOS to clarify which points do not apply to private decks.
What is important to you as a private deck creator regarding TOS?
