Such changes, modifications, additions or deletions shall be effective immediately upon notice thereof, which may be given by means including, but not limited to posting the revised Privacy Policy on the Platform. User acknowledges and agrees that it is required for User to maintain a valid email address as a registered user and that this is User’s responsibility. It is also User’s responsibility to review the Platform and this Privacy Policy periodically and to be aware of any modifications. User’s continued use of the Platform and other Services after such modifications will constitute User’s (i) acknowledgment of the modified Privacy Policy; and (ii) agreement to abide and be bound by the modified Privacy Policy.

Types of Information Collected. In order to better provide Users with access to the Platform and Daily Shot’s other numerous Services, Daily Shot collects two types of information about Users: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information (collectively referred to as “User Information”). Daily Shot’s primary goals in collecting information from User are to provide User with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using the Platform or any of Daily Shot’s other Services, to provide the Services and to collect information related to the Platform and the other Services.

 4.1 Personally Identifiable Information. Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that lets Daily Shot know the specifics of who Users are. When User engages in certain activities on the Platform or otherwise related to the Services, such as contacting Daily Shot via the provided forms or sending Daily Shot an email, Daily Shot may ask User to provide certain information about User by filling out and submitting an online form. If User elects to engage in these activities, however, Daily Shot may ask that User to provide personal information, such as first and last name, organization name, email address and telephone number.  Depending upon the activity, some of the information Daily Shot asks User to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If User does not provide the mandatory information with respect to a particular activity (for example, subscribing to the Newsletter or purchasing any paid Services), User will not be able to engage in that activity. Users may be required to provide additional personally identifiable information to become a User and to use certain Services. For instance, we require your name and email address in order to register you with the Platform and deliver the Newsletter to you. We (or our service providers) will also collect certain Personally Identifiable Information (e.g., billing address) as required to process User payments for Premium Features and other paid Services in accordance with our Terms of Use. We also collect, create and store Platform-assigned level and subscriber ID, pricing information related to the particular User (pricing/access plan, payment status and whether the User used a coupon or pricing discount). We collect IP addresses as well which can provide approximate locations (and in some jurisdictions IP addresses may be considered Personally Identifiable Information depending on what is exactly collected and how it is used). Our Terms of Use may also describe other Personally Identifiable Information that may be required from Users.

 4.2 Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Non-Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific User. Daily Shot’s service providers (e.g., Google Analytics) may gather certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information about Users based upon their access to and use of the Platform and/or our other Services, including, but not limited to: traffic data, location data, logs, communication data, the resources that a User accesses and uses on or through the Platform and/or our other Services, the website’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) from which User just came, and to which URL User next goes. It can also include including information about your mobile device and internet connection, including the device’s unique device identifier, operating system, browser type, and mobile network information. This information can be compiled and analyzed on both a per-user and an aggregated basis. We may also collect other Non-Personally Identifiable Information. In certain cases Non-Personally Identifiable Information may be combined with Personally Identifiable Information in which case all resulting or connected data will be considered Personally Identifiable Information.

 4.3 Information from Third Party Sites. We may receive access, store and/or use User Information that is collected by third party service providers and our other vendors related to your use of the Services (e.g. Google Analytics, Stripe, PayPal, MailChimp, etc.).

5. Collection of User Information

 5.1 Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information. Daily Shot generally does not collect any Personally Identifiable Information about a User unless that User voluntarily provides it to Daily Shot or it is related to use of a Service. User provides certain Personally Identifiable Information to Daily Shot when User (i) submits web forms or provides/imports information through the Platform, including information provided at the time of registering to receive, access and use the Platform; (ii) transmits other information by telephone or email, including Daily Shot’s “contact us” web form; (iii) connects third party accounts or facilitates access by the Platform to such third party sites; (iv) subscribes to certain Premium Features or other paid Services; or (vii) provides it via other methods Daily Shot may request or allow from time to time. Daily Shot may also collect information from a User at other locations on the Platform that state that such information is being collected.In certain cases, we may collect Personally Identifiable Information related to your use of the Services automatically after you have subscribed to or purchased a Premium Feature or other paid Service (e.g. we may identify Users after purchase of a Premium Feature or paid Service to ensure that payment has been made and User is using the Premium Feature or Service in accordance with its terms).

 5.2 Automatic Collection of User Information. In addition, Daily Shot may also automatically collect, including through third party service providers (e.g. Google Analytics and MailChimp), certain User Information, including Personally Identifiable Information. Such User Information may be collected when you use the Services and may not require you to provide or input specific information. Daily Shot may use User Information to diagnose problems with the Services and to improve and market the Services and as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy.

 5.3 Other Potential Methods for Collecting User Information. Daily Shot, and/or its Affiliates or its service and technology providers may use various other methods to collect Personally and Non-Personally Identifiable Information about Users. These methods may include, but are not limited to (i) cookies – a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters placed on User’s computer or mobile device that identifies User’s web browser; (ii) analytics and user tracking technologies that may allow us to monitor what actions Users take on the Platform or otherwise with respect to the Services; (iii) log Files – information, which is automatically reported by User’s web browser each time User views a web page, possibly including, but not limited to, User’s IP address, browser type and user agent string, and language, number of clicks, domain names of websites visited, pages viewed, and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, the date and time; (iv) clear gifs – web beacons, which are pieces of data used to track the online usage patterns of Users anonymously, and which may also be used in HTML-based emails sent to Users to track which emails are opened by recipients – for instance, MailChimp (the service provider we use in connection with Newsletter delivery) utilizes web beacons for tracking purposes; (v) third party service-based technologies and information, including, but not limited to, linked services (such as Google Accounts) that User authorizes to share information about User with Daily Shot; (vi) other social media or third party site connects or authorizations to share information’ (vii) other available technologies that may be integrated into the Platform or the other Services; and (viii) requests for data or information collected through the Platform or the other Services.

If Daily Shot should ever file for bankruptcy or have Daily Shot’s assets sold to or merge with another entity (or otherwise engage in any business combination or similar transaction), information Daily Shot receives from User through use of the Services is Daily Shot’s asset and may be transferred without any restriction.

7.  Sharing of User Information. Daily Shot may share and disclose User Information with third parties, including as follows:

  • Our Service Providers. We may engage third parties to provide certain portions of the Services and we may provide User Information to them in order to facilitate their activities (e.g. hosting, data analysis, payment processing, infrastructure provision, IT services, customer service, email and Newsletter delivery services, credit card processing, etc.). Please review our Subprocessor List for additional information regarding our service providers and subprocessors and their privacy practices.
  • Affiliates. We may share your User Information with our Affiliates who will use such information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

8.  Updating and Correcting Information. Daily Shot believes Users should have the ability to access and edit the Personally Identifiable Information that you have provided to Daily Shot. Users may contact Daily Shot to determine what Personally Identifiable Information we have on such User by contacting Daily Shot through the appropriate contact information or web forms located on the Platform.

Please include first and last name, address, and email address when contacting Daily Shot.  Daily Shot encourages each User to promptly update their Personally Identifiable Information if it changes. In addition, it may be impossible to completely delete a User’s Personally and Non-Personally Identifiable Information without some residual information because of reasons including, but not limited to, server backups and disaster recovery. User acknowledges that altering, updating or deleting any Personally or Non-Personally Identifiable Information may alter the functioning or operation of the Services for User.

9.  User Choices on Collection and Use of Information.

 9.1  Email(s). Daily Shot may, from time to time, send User email(s) regarding Daily Shot’s products and services or the Services. If User does not want to receive such mailings, simply contact Daily Shot as set forth in this Privacy Policy or as set forth in such emails. Please bear in mind that we require your email address in order to deliver the Newsletter to you.

 9.2 Disabling Cookies. User also has choices with respect to cookies, as more fully described in our Cookie Policy. By modifying browser preferences, User may have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If User chooses to reject all or some cookies, some parts of Daily Shot’s Services may not work properly in User’s case.

 9.3  Opt-Out. At any time, you may opt out of allowing us to use your Personally Identifiable Information by contacting us at the information set forth below in Section 14. We will process your request within a reasonable time. However, please note that in certain instances, we may have already used or shared your Personally Identifiable Information consistent with this Policy prior to your opt out. In addition, you may not be able to use the Services if you opt-out. For instance, we may not be able to deliver the Newsletter to you.

10.  Security of Information. The importance of security for all Personally and Non-Personally Identifiable Information associated with Daily Shot’s Users is important to Daily Shot. Daily Shot values the privacy and security of User Information and uses reasonable efforts to protect User’s Personally and Non-Personally Identifiable Information so that it is secure. However, User acknowledges that no data transmission or hosting over the Internet or any wired or wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and neither can the storage of such data or information. As a result, while Daily Shot strives to protect User’s Personally and Non-Personally Identifiable Information, User acknowledges that (i) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet and mobile platforms which are beyond Daily Shot’s control; (ii) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between User and Daily Shot through the Services and data and information that is stored by Daily Shot cannot be guaranteed; and (iii) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit or in rest by a third party. AS A RESULT, WITH REGARD TO THE SECURITY AND INTEGRITY OF PERSONALLY AND NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION, USER USES THE PLATFORM AND ALL OF THE OTHER SERVICES AT USER’S OWN RISK.

11.  Additional Information on Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies. When User uses the Site or certain other Services, Daily Shot may store cookies on User’s computer in order to facilitate and customize User’s use of the Site or such Services. Also, as part of your use of the Services, certain service providers may place a separate cookie or other tracking technologies on your computer (e.g. Google Analytics, Stripe, MailChimp). A cookie is a small data text file, which a web site stores on User’s computer’s hard drive (if User’s Web browser permits) that can later be retrieved to identify User to Daily Shot. MailChimp (our service provider responsible for delivering the Newsletter via email) uses web beacons (1 pixel gif) in the Newsletter to track the following types of information: (i) was the Newsletter delivered successfully; (ii) did the user open the Newsletter; (iii) which links in the Newsletter did the User click; and (iii) User (approximate) location via IP address. These cookies and tracking technologies make User’s use of the Platform or other relevant Services easier, make the Platform or Services run more smoothly and help Daily Shot to maintain and operate the Platform and Services securely, although Daily Shot makes no such guarantees about the operation of the Platform or any other Services. User is always free to decline Daily Shot’s cookies and tracking technologies if User’s browser permits, but some parts of the Platform or other Services may not work properly in that case. To learn more about our practices with respect to cookies and similar tracking technologies, please visit our Cookie Policy.

12.  Third Party Providers; Scope.

 12.1  Third Party Providers. As described above, we may use third party service providers to facilitate use and operation of the Platform and for other Services related activities. Your User Information may be provided to and used by such third parties. For example, we use Stripe and Paypal for payment, analytics, and other business services, we use Google Analytics for analytics services related to our Platform and we use MailChimp for email delivery and related tracking purposes. These third party service providers are considered subprocessors under applicable data privacy laws. Please review our Subprocessor List for additional information regarding our subprocessors and their privacy practices.

 12.2  Scope of Privacy Policy. Subject to and without limiting our Subprocessor List, this Privacy Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information Daily Shot collects from Users. Other sites, including but not limited to those of Daily Shot’s Affiliates and other sites linked to or otherwise available through the Platform or any of the other Services, have their own privacy policies and data collection use and disclosure practices. Please consult each site’s privacy policy, including, without limitation, those set forth above. To the extent possible, we seek to limit the rights of these parties with respect to your User Information where reasonable, and we do not grant any rights to these organizations to use this information for any marketing or other purpose beyond providing services to us to manage business activities. Subject to the foregoing, Daily Shot is not responsible for the policies or practices of third parties. User should contact the advertisers, providers, or other third parties identified in the Subprocessor List directly if User has any questions about the use of the information that these third parties collect.

13. Do Not Track Disclosures; California Requirements.

 13.1  Do Not Track. Do Not Track is a privacy preference that Users can set in their web browsers. When a User turns on the Do Not Track signal, the browser sends a message to websites requesting them not to track the User. For information about Do Not Track, visit www.allaboutdnt.org. At this time, Daily Shot uses Google Analytics for tracking purposes, and it is our understanding that Google Analytics currently does not respond to Do Not Track browser settings or signals. In addition, Daily Shot may use other technology that is standard to the Internet, such as pixel tags, web beacons, and other similar technologies, to track visitors to the Platform or Services or one of the affiliated pages hosted at the Daily Shot domain. Those tools may be used by us and by third parties to collect information about you and your internet activity, even if you have turned on the Do Not Track signal. To learn more about these settings and our practices with respect to cookies, please visit our Cookie Policy.

 13.2  Request of Information for California Users. California Civil Code Section 1798.83 entitles California Users to request information concerning whether a business has disclosed certain information about you to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. California Users who wish to request further information in compliance with this law or have questions or concerns about our privacy practices and policies may contact us as specified in the “How to Contact Us” section below.

14.  Miscellaneous Issues.

 14.2  Server Host Country. The Platform and our other Services are hosted in the United States. If User is visiting from other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law please note that User is transferring personal data to the United States which does not have the same data protection laws as the other nations, and by providing personal data to Daily Shot, User consents to: (i) the use of User’s personal data for the uses identified above in accordance with this Privacy Policy; and (ii) the transfer of User’s personal data to the United States as indicated above.

 14.3  Additional Rights for Individuals in the EU, EEA, Switzerland and UK.
