The privacy of your data is a big deal to us. Fokal does not sell or distribute your data in any way.

Identity & Access

Credit card information is submitted directly to our payment processor and doesn't reach Fokal servers. We store a record of the payment transaction, including the last four digits of the credit card number, for purposes of account history, invoicing, and billing support. We do not store your credit card information, all payments are processed by Stripe, an independent third party.

Product Interactions

We store data related to the content that you upload on your Fokal account. This is so you can use our products as intended. For example, to create artwork we will store information about the artwork's name, description, image, etc. so that we can properly list that artwork on our website.

Geolocation Data

We log the full IP address used to sign up a product account and retain that for use in mitigating future spam signups. We also log all account access by full IP address and information about your browser for security and fraud prevention purposes, and we keep this login data for as long as your product account is active.
