Reserving your rights – Straightforward instructions
The first basic step you should take is to declare on your company website that your rights are reserved.
You can simply copy/paste the draft text which IMPALA have prepared for you onto your label website (it can be on a dedicated page, with a simple link to it on the homepage).
This is a simple step you should take to increase the protection of your rights from unauthorised use for the purposes of AI training or machine learning.
