It is DailyFocus’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website and iPhone application.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, DailyFocus collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. DailyFocus’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how DailyFocus’s visitors use its website. From time to time, DailyFocus may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

DailyFocus also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on photos. DailyFocus only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to DailyFocus’s websites choose to interact with DailyFocus in ways that require DailyFocus to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that DailyFocus gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account on http://photojournaler.com to provide a username and email address. In each case, DailyFocus collects such information only as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with DailyFocus. DailyFocus does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

DailyFocus may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. DailyFocus may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, DailyFocus does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

DailyFocus discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on DailyFocus’s behalf or to provide services available at DailyFocus’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using DailyFocus’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. DailyFocus will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, DailyFocus discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when DailyFocus believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of DailyFocus, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a DailyFocus website and have supplied your email address, DailyFocus may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with DailyFocus and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. DailyFocus takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
