Privacy Policy

The Basics

We collect the email addresses of those who communicate with us via email, information about the pages consumers access on the Daycast website, and information voluntarily submitted by the consumer (for example, requests for support, surveys, or service registration forms).

The types of information that may be requested include your name, company name, address, telephone number, and credit card information. The information we collect is used to improve the quality of the Service, to communicate information about the Service, to bill your account for services provided, for research, to send optional updates and additional information about special offers if requested, and to contact you about your account when necessary.

Your information will not be sold to or shared with other companies or organizations for commercial purposes.

Daycast is operated from the United States. If you are visiting the Website or Service from outside the U.S., you agree to any processing of any personal information you provide us according to this policy.

Use of Cookies

When you use the Service we may store some information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a "cookie" or similar file. Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive. We do not use cookies to spy on you or otherwise invade your privacy.

We may use cookies to help you navigate the Service website as easily as possible, and to remember information about your current session. Your continued use of the Service constitutes your agreement to receive cookies.

Google Analytics and Interest-Based Online Advertising

We use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect data about use of the Daycast website and the Daycast product. Google Analytics collects data such as:

How often users visit the site

The types of devices visitors use to access the site (e.g. desktop, mobile, or tablet)

The data collected does not personally or directly identify site visitors or app users. We use the data Google Analytics collects in order to better engage with visitors and users and to improve our Service. Learn more about Google Analytics and privacy.

If you don’t want your data collected by Google Analytics, you may opt out:

We use Google Ads remarketing service to advertise on third-party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our site. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your past visits to the Daycast website. You can opt out of allowing Google to use cookies by visiting Google’s Ads Settings page. You can opt out of allowing other third-party vendors to use cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out page.
