SCIN Dataset
The SCIN (Skin Condition Image Network) open access dataset aims to supplement publicly available dermatology datasets from health system sources with representative images from internet users. To this end, the SCIN dataset was collected from Google Search users in the United States through a voluntary, consented image donation application. The SCIN dataset is intended for health education and research, and to increase the diversity of dermatology images available for public use.
The SCIN dataset contains 5,000+ volunteer contributions (10,000+ images) of common dermatology conditions. Contributions include Images, self-reported demographic, history, and symptom information, and self-reported Fitzpatrick skin type (sFST). In addition, dermatologist labels of the skin condition and estimated Fitzpatrick skin type (eFST) and layperson estimated Monk Skin tone (eMST) labels are provided for each contribution.
Please note: This dataset contains images of medical conditions, some of which may be sensitive and/or graphic in nature.

SCIN Data Use License
By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Skin Condition Image Network (“SCIN”) Data Use Public License ("SCIN License").
To the extent this SCIN License may be interpreted as a contract, You are granted the Licensed Rights in consideration of Your acceptance of these terms and conditions, and the Licensor grants You such rights in consideration of benefits the Licensor receives from making the Licensed Material available under these terms and conditions.
Section 1 -- Definitions.
a. “Adapted Material” means material subject to Copyright and Similar Rights derived from or based upon the Licensed Material and in which the Licensed Material is translated, altered, arranged, transformed, or otherwise modified in a manner requiring permission under the Copyright and Similar Rights held by the Licensor.

For purposes of this SCIN License, the rights specified in Section 2(b)(1)-(2) are not Copyright and Similar Rights.
d. “Effective Technological Measures” means those measures that, in the absence of proper authority, may not be circumvented under laws fulfilling obligations under Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright Treaty adopted on December 20, 1996, and/or similar international agreements.
e. “Exceptions and Limitations” means fair use, fair dealing, and/or any other exception or limitation to Copyright and Similar Rights that applies to Your use of the Licensed Material.
f. “Licensed Material” means the images, labeling and other data contained within the database, or other material to which the Licensor applied this SCIN License.
g. “Licensed Rights” means the rights granted to You subject to the terms and conditions of this SCIN License, which are limited to all Copyright and Similar Rights that apply to Your use of the Licensed Material and that the Licensor has authority to license.
h. “Licensor” means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights under this SCIN License.
i. “Share” means to provide material to any third party, by any means or process that requires permission under the Licensed Rights, such as reproduction, public display, public performance, distribution, dissemination, communication, or importation, and to make material available to any such third party including in ways that such third parties or members of the public may access the material from a place and at a time individually chosen by them.

k. “You” means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights under this SCIN License. “Your” has a corresponding possessive meaning.
Section 2 -- Scope.
a. License grant.
1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this SCIN License, the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-sublicensable (except as set forth herein), non-exclusive, irrevocable license to exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
a. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part; and
b. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.
2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this SCIN License does not apply, and You do not need to comply with its terms and conditions.
3. Term. The term of this SCIN License is specified in Section 6(a).
4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created, and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or authority to forbid You from making technical modifications necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective Technological Measures. For purposes of this SCIN License, simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a) (4) never produces Adapted Material.
5. Downstream recipients.
a. Offer from the Licensor -- Licensed Material. Every recipient of the Licensed Material automatically receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this SCIN License.
b. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the Licensed Material and/or any Adapted Materials if doing so restricts exercise of the Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed Material and/or any Adapted Materials.
6. No endorsement. Nothing in this SCIN License constitutes or may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by, the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
b. Other rights.
1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed under this SCIN License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights, but not otherwise.
2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this SCIN License.
3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly reserves any right to collect such royalties.
Section 3 -- License Conditions.
Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the following conditions.
a. Attribution.
1. If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified form) or Adapted Materials, You must:
a. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with the Licensed Material or Adapted Materials:

3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably practicable.
4. If You Share Adapted Material You produce, the Adapter's License You apply must not prevent recipients of the Adapted Material from complying with this SCIN License.
b. Restrictions: You may not make any attempt to re-identify or re-link any of the individual data subjects whose data has been de-identified to create the Licensed Materials. Re-identification or re-linking of any such individual subjects is strictly prohibited and results in the immediate termination of all rights granted to the Licensed Materials and/or any Adapted Materials.
Section 4 -- Sui Generis Database Rights.
Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to Your use of the Licensed Material and/or Adapted Material:
a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database;
b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material; and
c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not replace Your obligations under this SCIN License where the Licensed Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
Section 5 -- Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
a. UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE LICENSOR, TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS AND AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER.

b. TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS SCIN LICENSE OR USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIAL, EVEN IF THE LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES. WHERE A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FULL OR IN PART, THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.
Section 6 -- Term and Termination.
a. This SCIN License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this SCIN License, then Your rights under this SCIN License terminate automatically.
b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section 6(a), it reinstates:
1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or
2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this SCIN License.
c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this SCIN License.
d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this SCIN License.
Section 7 -- Other Terms and Conditions.
a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.

b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this SCIN License is deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this SCIN License without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions.
c. No term or condition of this SCIN License will be waived and no failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the Licensor.
