No, that’s not correct. Roboflow does not own your data. As stated in the terms of service and reiterated in multiple forum posts, you retain all ownership rights in any content, information, or materials you post, submit, publish, display, or transmit. Your data remains yours even after upload. This is a principle that Roboflow strongly believes in and upholds.
The clause you’re referring to in the terms of service is standard language that allows Roboflow to perform the services you request, such as processing and augmenting your images, without infringing on your rights. It does not mean that Roboflow claims ownership of your data.
If you have any further concerns about data ownership or privacy, I would recommend reaching out to Roboflow directly or consulting with a legal professional.
