[Feature]: Need to be more explicit about data sharing

Guidelines

• I agree to follow this project's Contributing Guidelines.

Description

Reviewer said: While it is stated in the paper that some of the images are uploaded to an S3 storage there is no information about it on your trashai.org webpage. I think it is at least necessary to put a disclaimer to users that their image data is uploaded and that images may contain delicate information through exif data (because I think the targeted audience is not always aware of what information images may contain). In my view it would even be better to have an opt-out option for image upload and/or stripping unnecessary parts of the exif data while uploading and/or informing users of uploading process to aws while also putting information resources to exif data directly on the page.

Problem

Not clear enough information about what happens to data when it goes to the website. Users don't have a way to opt out of data sharing.

Proposed Solution

Add popup or info box near the data upload that tells the user where their data will be shared and allows them or opt out.

Alternatives Considered

Expect users to read the documentation.

We might want to update the current paper to say we're not actually doing any interaction with the backend as of now. In its current state it's only a web frontend. In the future we may implement this, but it's not a factor at the moment.

Good call! I am on it.

Updated the paper 2527ec1, now put this as a future task since it wasn't implemented.
