Flickr is a photo sharing community which provides you with an easy way to post and share photos online, and add meaningful metadata and comments to photos. You do not need to be registered to search or view public photos on Flickr, however you must be a logged-in registered member of Flickr or Yahoo! to post photos.
Information Collection and Use Practices
- You can choose to make your photos public for anyone to access, restrict access to a limited number of other Flickr users, or keep those photos private so only you can access them.
- Advertisements shown to you may be related to textual information, such as metadata and notes, associated with the photo you are seeing, or the search term you entered.
Information Sharing and Disclosure Practices
- You can specify whether or not you want your photos to be accessible to the public, accessible to a select few, or private (only you can access them with your Yahoo! ID and password).
- Billing for Flickr premium services, such as Flickr Pro, is done using PayPal, a third party.
- You do not need a PayPal account to pay when using your credit card. With either purchase method, your transaction and the personal information collected is subject to PayPal's terms and privacy policy. Yahoo! doesn't share your personal information with Paypal and Paypal doesn't share personal information they collect with Yahoo!.
Practices Regarding Your Ability to Update or Delete Information
- You can delete individual photos that you have on Flickr by selecting the photos that you wish to delete, then clicking the delete button. Or you can delete groups of photos using batch operations.
- Visit your Flickr account information area to edit your personal information (including your profile), default settings for privacy & permissions, email notifications and and more.
- Communication with you
- Flickr communication is currently managed separately from your Yahoo! Marketing Preferences and Subscriptions.
- Visit your Flickr account information area to edit your email notification settings.
- Flickr Pro accounts cannot be canceled. If you created a Paypal account and would like to update/delete your information, you will need to visit their site. Paypal doesn't share that information with Yahoo!.
