Please note that when you use Unitlab Annotate with the Free Plan, every dataset you release becomes publicly available on the "Dataset" page of Unitlab Annotate. Before releasing, you must agree to assign a license to your dataset. Learn how to safely release datasets and their licenses on the Release Datasets page.
To keep your released datasets private, consider upgrading your plan.
