Effective July 16, 2026
Welcome to Focal Click (“Focal Click”, “we”, “us”). Focal Click is a service for storing photographs, reading Fujifilm film-simulation recipes from their metadata, and sharing photos and recipes with a community. By creating an account or using focal.click, you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the service.
You must be at least 16 years old to use Focal Click. You are responsible for your account and everything done with it: keep your sign-in methods (password, passkeys, linked Google account) secure. Usernames are first-come, first-served; we may reclaim usernames that impersonate others or squat on trademarks. While the service is young, we may limit or pause new account creation at any time.
You can also post or pin a photo without an account: we email you a link, and clicking it publishes the photo and creates your account in one step. Submitting content this way means you accept these terms; unclaimed submissions are deleted after 7 days.
You keep all rights to the photographs you upload. So that the service can function, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, resize, transcode, and (only for content you choose to share) display and distribute your photos within the service, including on recipe pages, feeds, public profiles, and embeds of recipes on third-party sites. This license ends when you delete the content, except for copies already cached or embedded elsewhere for a reasonable transition period. Everything you upload is private by default; nothing becomes public unless you share it.
If you enable downloads on a shared photo, other members may save its original file for personal use only. Downloading never transfers copyright or grants any right to republish, sell, or redistribute the photograph unless you, the photographer, separately grant it.
Submitting a RAF for the comparison reference galleryis a specific grant: if we accept it, you allow Focal Click to develop and publish renders of that photograph in the gallery, always credited to you with the link you provided. You keep the copyright, and you can withdraw the scene anytime by contacting us. We'll remove its renders.
Film-simulation recipes are camera settings read from photo files. Settings themselves are facts and are not owned by anyone. A recipe on Focal Click is named by the first photographer to publish a photo shot with it, and only they can rename it. The credit “first shared here by” records who first brought a recipe to this community, not who invented it. When you save a recipe, you may (and are encouraged to) credit its original creator with a source link. Community-chosen names and aggregate recipe data are not your exclusive property and remain available to the community even if you delete your account.
Two different rules apply, depending on where content lives:
The following are prohibited everywhere on the service, private or public:
Every public photo has a Report option. Reports are reviewed by our team; we may remove content, return it to private, or suspend accounts at our discretion. We aim to review reports promptly and act fastest on the most serious categories. Comments follow the same rules: you can delete your own, and photographers may remove any comment on their own posts.
If you believe content on Focal Click infringes your copyright, report it on the photo itself (reason: copyright) or email us with the photo link, proof of your rights, and your contact details. We remove infringing content and terminate repeat infringers.
Free accounts include a private-storage allowance (currently 10 GB; photos shared with the community don't count toward it). We may change allowances with notice. Don't use Focal Click as generic file storage; it's for photographs.
You can stop using Focal Click anytime and delete your photos from Settings. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. On termination we delete your private content within a reasonable period. Recipe names and credits you published may persist, because other photographers' photos are grouped under them.
Focal Click is provided “as is”. Keep your own backups. While we take storage seriously (originals and RAW files are stored redundantly), we are not liable for data loss, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of $50 or the amount you paid us in the last 12 months. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages to the extent the law allows.
We may update these terms; material changes will be announced in the app or by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the new terms.
These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada. Questions and notices: use the contact form or email hello@email.focal.click.
