Definitions:

'NCORECC.NET' means the image hosting service that is provided at the internet address: ncorecc.net

Aperture Science, Inc. (collectively, "we", "us", "our") means the operators of the NCORECC.NET image hosting service, or the service itself.

'Content' means, unless noted otherwise, user-uploaded materials, such as images uploaded by users, comments written by users and personal accounts created by users, even avatars (icons) uploaded by users for their personal account.

Types of users:

There are three different types of users on the Site (NCORECC.NET). The kind of information we collect about you depends on the way you use the Site ('NCORECC.NET), as described below:

  • Visitor: If you visit the site, access/download images, but you do not upload content, you are considered a Visitor. We do not collect or store any information about you if you are a Visitor.

By creating a personal account, you allow us to collect additional information about you, on top of the information we would collect from you as if you were an Uploader.
