How We Protect Your Information

We employ administrative, physical, and electronic measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access. However, despite those efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

Links to Other Sites

The CVPR Website may contain links to other services, apps, and sites not operated by us (we refer to these as "Other Sites"). Any information you provide on those Other Sites is provided directly to the owner of that site. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to those Other Sites, and we are not responsible for the content you provide to, or the privacy and security practices and policies of, Other Sites. CMT and OpenReview are examples of Other Sites.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

Any information that is collected is subject to our Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected. We may, however, modify and revise our Privacy Policy from time-to-time. In the event of a modification to the Privacy Policy, CVPR will send notification to you that a change has occurred via the Website or Email. It is required that you accept the revised Privacy Policy before continuing to use the Website. By accepting changes to the policy, you are agreeing to be bound by the revised policy.

Logging practices

https://cvpr.thecvf.com automatically records the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of visitors. The IP address is a unique number assigned to every computer on the internet. Generally, an IP address changes each time you connect to the internet (it is a "dynamic" address). Note, however, that if you have a broadband connection, depending on your individual circumstance, the IP address that we collect may contain information that could be deemed identifiable. This is because, with some broadband connections, your IP address doesn't change (it is "static") and could be associated with your personal computer. As well as recording the IP addresses of users, We keep track of the pages visited on https://cvpr.thecvf.com website. https://cvpr.thecvf.com also captures and stores information that you transmit. This may include:

  • Browser/Device type/version
  • Operating system used
  • Media Access Control (MAC) address
  • Date and time of the server request
  • Volume of data transferred
