Changes to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy

India Barath
We'll soon publish changes to our Terms of Service that may affect the Google services you use. Starting January 22, 2019, services offered under these terms will be offered by Google Ireland Limited instead of Google LLC. We're making similar changes to the Drive, Play, YouTube, and YouTube Paid Service Terms of Service. You can find our new terms here.
At the same time, we're also updating Google's Privacy Policy to specify that Google Ireland Limited will be the data controller responsible for your information and for complying with applicable privacy laws. These updates will take effect if you're based in the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Switzerland (unless otherwise stated in a service-specific privacy notice). Our updated policy is here.
Nothing about your experience in Google services will change. And nothing is changing in terms of your privacy settings, the way your data is processed, nor the purposes of its processing as described in the Google Privacy Policy. However, if you don't want to accept these changes in our terms and Privacy Policy, you can choose to stop using the applicable services.
If you use Family Link to manage a Google Account for users below the age of consent, then please take some time to talk to them about these changes.
You can see and manage your data in the Google Dashboard. And you can always change your privacy settings and data controls anytime in your Google Account.
This email was sent to hispblog@gmail.com to provide an update about your Google Account.

[HISP India] Important updates to your Flickr account.

This is an important service email we're required to send to all Flickr members because the terms and conditions of your membership are changing.

Flickr
Flickr birb

Let's be candid. The strength of Flickr has always been you.

Flickr at its best is a place to connect, to discover, and to evolve as photographers and lovers of photography. This is the world's largest photographer-focused community. Together, this newly independent community can shape the future of photography itself.

Today we are announcing important updates to our Free and Pro account offerings to better align Flickr with its mission.

Updates.

Free accounts will soon be limited to 1,000 photos or videos. Flickr isn't Flickr without the contributions and participation of our free members, and we remain committed to a vibrant, free offering.

Flickr Pro is better than ever, and at less than half the cost of Apple, Amazon, or Google, it's the best deal in photography—hands down. In addition to the unmatched community you love, Pros get these perks:

  • Unlimited Storage. The only limit is your imagination. All Pros may now upload as many photos as you can take, always at full resolution.
  • Ad-Free Browsing. Focus on what matters with a fully ad-free Flickr experience for you and your visitors.
  • Advanced Stats. See which of your photos are trending now, and which have performed the best over the life of your Flickr Pro account.

Plus all these great new Pro-only features:

  • Premier Product Support. Skip the line. Flickr Pros now receive priority assistance from our new world-class support team. Available now.
  • More Partner Discounts. Save on photography essentials. Discounts on Creative Cloud from Adobe, 50% off a custom portfolio site on SmugMug, gear from Peak Design, and more. Coming November.
  • Advanced Stats on Mobile. Stats in your pocket. All the photo stats you know and love, available in the app. Coming November.
  • Increased Exposure. All Pro members as of January 1, 2019, are eligible for priority exposure in the next iteration of Explore. Coming early 2019.
  • New 5K Photo Display Option. Look your best. Your images are beautifully optimized for any screen, from smartphone to jumbotron. Pro images display at resolutions up to 5K. Coming early 2019.
  • 10 Minute Videos. More time to tell your story. Play back videos for up to 10 minutes, increased from 3. Coming early 2019.

If you are a free member with more than 1,000 photos or videos, you will have ample time to upgrade to Pro (for 30% off your first year) or download your photos and videos.*

*Free members with more than 1,000 photos or videos uploaded to Flickr will no longer be able to upload new content after Tuesday, January 8, 2019 unless they upgrade to Pro. After February 5, 2019, free accounts that contain over 1,000 photos or videos will have content deleted -- starting from oldest to newest date uploaded -- to meet the new limit. Members may always choose to download content over the limit at any time prior to these dates.

New Simple Login! Coming in January, there will be no need for a Yahoo account to use Flickr.

Flickr dots

From the start, Flickr has been an act of co-creation. Today marks a new beginning. Together, let's create the future of photography.

Forbedringer i personvernreglene og personverninnstillingene våre

Google
Updating Our Privacy Policy
Denne måneden oppdaterer vi personvernreglene våre for at du enklere skal forstå hvilken informasjon vi samler inn, og hvorfor vi gjør dette. Vi har også iverksatt tiltak for å forbedre personvernsjekken vår og de andre kontrollene vi leverer i den hensikt å beskytte dataene dine og personvernet ditt.
De nåværende innstillingene dine forblir som de er, og vi endrer ikke måten informasjonen din behandles på. I stedet tydeliggjør vi praksisene våre og hvordan du kan oppdatere, administrere, eksportere og slette dataene dine.
Vi gjennomfører disse oppdateringene i takt med at EUs personvernforordning trer i kraft i EU. Personvernforordningen er utformet for å være et felles rammeverk for personvernlover i EU, og i tillegg tydeliggjør den reglene om åpenhet rundt bedrifters databehandling. Vi gjør noen påkrevde oppdateringer av personvernreglene våre og benytter sjansen til å forbedre flere forhold for Google-brukere over hele verden.
Personvernregler som er enklere å forstå
Simpler structure & clearer language
Enklere struktur og tydeligere språk
Vi har forbedret navigasjonen og måten retningslinjene er organisert på, slik at du enklere kan finne det du ser etter. Vi forklarer dessuten praksisene våre mer inngående og med et tydeligere språk.
New descriptive videos & illustrations
Nye beskrivende videoer og illustrasjoner
Det er ofte enklere å forstå en forklaring med visuelle elementer enn hvis det bare er tekst, så vi har lagt til korte videoer og illustrasjoner på ulike steder i retningslinjene.
Embedded privacy controls
Innebygde personverninnstillinger
Vi har gjort det enklere å hoppe til viktige innstillinger direkte fra retningslinjene, så du enklere kan gjøre valg knyttet til personvern.
Du finner de reviderte retningslinjene her, og de trer i kraft 25. mai 2018.
Bedre personverninnstillinger
Vi har oppdatert Min aktivitet i løpet av det siste året, og dermed kan du enklere se og administrere dataene i Google-kontoen din. Vi har dessuten lansert en nyutformet oversikt. I den får du enkelt oversikt over produktene du bruker, samt dataene tilknyttet disse.
Denne måneden oppdaterte vi personvernsjekken vår med nye illustrasjoner og eksempler for at du enklere skal kunne treffe veloverveide beslutninger om de viktigste personverninnstillingene dine. Vi vet også at det du vektlegger, kan endres over tid. I den nye personvernsjekken kan du derfor nå registrere deg for regelmessige påminnelser om å se over personverninnstillingene dine.
Gå til brukerstøtten hvis du vil finne ut mer om disse og de andre kontrollene du kan administrere ditt eget personvern med.

[HISP India] Flickr agrees to be acquired by SmugMug - what this means for you.

Flickr
Flickr loves you

We're excited to announce that Flickr has agreed to be acquired by SmugMug, the photography platform dedicated to visual storytellers.

SmugMug has a long history of empowering people who love photography and who want to improve their craft, making them a perfect fit for Flickr and our creative community. With SmugMug, we'll continue to focus on you, the Flickr members who inspire us all with your work.

Nothing will change immediately with regard to your Flickr account. You will still access Flickr with your current login credentials and you will have the same Flickr experience as you do now. We will continue to work to make your Flickr experience even better.

We think you are going to love Flickr under SmugMug ownership, but you can choose to not have your Flickr account and data transferred to SmugMug until May 25, 2018. If you want to keep your Flickr account and data from being transferred, you must go to your Flickr account to download the photos and videos you want to keep, then delete your account from your Account Settings by May 25, 2018.

If you do not delete your account by May 25, 2018, your Flickr account and data will transfer to SmugMug and will be governed by SmugMug's Terms and Privacy Policy.

Read more detailed FAQs about this transition on the Flickr Blog.

We're happy that Flickr is your home for photography and we look forward to the next chapter in our adventure together as we join the SmugMug family.

Thanks,
The Flickr Team
